Leeza Meksin-what a delight! This conversation took place around a month ago in my mother's psychotherapy office. Leeza and I talk "shop" about Spandex, mind over matter, figure skating, and her new gig at Columbia. Trigger warning: this episode is heavy on the grad school talk.

Reuben Lorch-Miller and I talk about magic tricks, grieving, marriage, rule-based art, and being "a part of a moment." Also, "I'm back." Intro recorded at my new empty apartment in Providence. Sounds a little different in there, no? That's what affordable spaces sound like.

I know I said I'd be back soon but things got complicated. Anyway, I'm here now, what do you want? Just give me a minute to smoke this cigarette and make some calls and then we'll get you changed and fed. Here's a snack stop your moping.

(But seriously stay tuned. Had some technical difficulty getting things running smoothly on iTunes and trying to clean up my audio quality. What can I say? I'm learning. Expect some new episodes to pop up around October 15th).
