Sunday Lunch episodes

  • Best Art Friends

    We're soaking up Spring with an episode recorded on location during a beautiful day at Bakoven. We discussed the latest in viral discourse — the case of one Dawn Dorland vs. Sonya Larson, reported on in The New York Times last week, that raises some of the most pressing questions of our time: What are the ethics of borrowing things from someone else's life in your art? What makes one a writer? And, does slapping yourself count as self-harm? Come for the art criticism, and stay for the review of Belle and Sebastian's album 'Tigermilk' (plus, seagulls). Email us at [email protected] with your thoughts on the Dorland vs. Larson saga and any suggestions for albums to review!

  • Knights of the Roon Table

    We’re back, and perturbed about the State of Things™️ (but only in an ironic, cold, distant way). This week, we get into the thick of the new Sally Rooney novel, ‘Beautiful World, Where are You?’ and use Shumon Basar’s ideas of autophobia, emotional capitalism and the compression of time to understand our place (and the place of our future novels) in the world. Email us at [email protected] to let us know who you think the writer of our time is, and when last you felt Seen in a work of art.
