Episode 39
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
This is take three.
Not because the first two were bad — but because they were too powerful.In this episode, I unpack the pressure of being the greatest podcaster alive (heavy is the crown), why even legends get nervous talking alone in their rooms to no audience, and how I almost formed an opinion on an international conflict after Googling it for ten minutes while eating cheese.We cover:The danger of becoming emotionally invested in global politics without contextWhy the world does not need a podcaster in sweatpants saying “hear me out”Discovering a surprisingly great accountability YouTube channel (Civilians Uncut) and watching karma do its thingA completely unhinged Bay Area winery meltdown involving a mental health founder, a Tesla, and several terrible decisionsListening to De La Soul for the first time ever and realizing I might’ve misunderstood an entire genreMaking birthday drawings of Boston terriers for someone on Discord because the people demanded artAnd celebrating National Cocoa Day with a deep dive into cocoa history, global traditions, fun facts, frothy wooden whisks, and respecting the ancestors while burning your tongueNo sides taken.
No hot takes deployed.
The crown remains heavy — but today, it fits. ☕👑
