  • 1.14: Buying Me Off With Warm Fuzzies
    Note: if you downloaded this episode before 8:45pm Eastern time on October 21, 2014, you should re-download it. Chris made an error in mixing it together, leading to his and Stephen’s audio being slightly out of sync for the entire episode (!), which has since been fixed. If you downloaded it after that time, you’re good to go! Show Notes In which we ask: “Who funds the arts? And how does that impact the artist ethically?” Corporations, individuals, and governments all have distinct downsides as revenue streams for artists, and corporations and governments in particular can be problematic for both artists and consumers in the ways they complicate the expression of artistic intent.

  • 1.12: Political Appinations
    Show Notes In which we start with a look at some really neat apps designed to ease political engagement in the United States and then branch out to talk about the limits of political engagement, the importance of valuing other forms of public life, and what it means to be fully-realized human beings.

  • 1.11: We Need Life Editors
    Show Notes In which we geek out about Doctor Who... and do our best to say something meaningful about the necessity of people who can tell us what we're getting wrong in life, and who can be strong where we have weaknesses.

  • 1.10: Because Capitalism Yay!
    Show Notes In which we talk about something Apple did this week… but not the thing they announced, and almost certainly not what you'd expect.

  • 1.08: How Victor Hugo Could Afford to Live
    Show Notes In which we talk about the drive to publish all the time and the value of publishing more substantive content at a slower pace. We talk about the way the internet has driven us toward rapid-fire publishing models and how long-form and high-quality content is difficult (if not impossible) to publish on this model. We look at how to build an audience via quality and the slow route instead of the click-driven model, note that this is difficult to sustain as a means of income, and even think a bit about the history of long-form and serial publishing.
