November 12, 2020 75 Degrees Remain 75 Degrees
I was anxious and nervous to record the first episode of this new united format. Topics include late-night radio talk shows, overloading your brain, the banality of the history we live through, the Portuguese feeling of "saudade," free-writing, and thoughts on reality.

October 20, 2020Letters to Younger You
Finally picked up my copy of Allie Brosh's book Hyperbole and a Half. I was immediate struck by how damn good it is and also by the idea of writing letters to past versions of yourself. I have to admit I'm particularly vulnerable to this idea because of my belief in multiple egos. So, that's what I talk about in this episode...that and explaining a slight adjustment to the way that I'm doing these episodes to avoid becoming a book summarizer...boring.

October 18, 2020Facing Clutter
I often use clutter as a way to remind me of this, as though creating a burden on myself will translate to motivation. I also use clutter as a way to fend off the fear of forgetting things--like a hoarder. A lot of this has to do with how I review and use my past notes. I understand the wisdom in everything having a proper place, but I'm stuck on the things that don't have definitive proper place. What do I do with them?

October 12, 2020 ...And We're Back!
We're really excited to be back and we're cracking a few beers to celebrate. Things get a little sloppy as we talk about why we're back, how we got here, and where we think we're going. Then we have an interesting conversation about streaming video programming wherein we long for episodic television, we question the hour-long format, and we admit how little the difference between good tv and bad tv matters. We hope you're as happy about our return as we are!

October 11, 2020Breath
Breathing is integral to life, yet many of us are doing in it wrong—I sure was. As someone who deals with sleep apnea, anxiety, mouth-breathing and more this books has really helped me to see the importance of learning small things to breath better and live longer...and to be less miserable. This is pretty personal episode about a really fun book.

September 21, 2020 Brain Storms: Are Our Brains Built On Maps?
Howard Eichenbaum believed that our abilities for autobiographical memory and imagination may be built upon the hippocampus' spatial structures—that what we refer to as "mental maps" may literally be mental maps. This is likely why memory palaces work so well.
