Tune into today's episode reviewing the KAWS x Andy Warhol exhibition at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Growing up in Pittsburgh, I’ve always felt a deep connection to Warhol’s art, from his Campbell’s Soup cans to the museum's vibrant displays. My previous encounter with KAWS left me skeptical, but the exhibit's buzz and crowd drew me in.

While visually striking, I found the connection between Warhol and KAWS somewhat forced. Warhol’s legacy in Pop Art and consumer culture contrasts sharply with KAWS' playful commercial figures. The exhibit felt more like a marketing move than a profound artistic dialogue. Want to hear more about this intriguing intersection of art and commerce? Check out the latest episode for my full review.

Tune into today's episode deviating a bit from my typical analysis of art and thoughts about pop culture. Today, we’re diving into the sometimes bewildering world of modern dating. Whether you're swiping left, right, or just trying to make sense of it all, I've got some thoughts and insights for you to ponder as you navigate the dating scene.

Tune into today's episode recommending 10 beach reads for geeks; nerds; poindexters. Abeach read, to me, is a book that is lighter and easily devour-able. You know, the kind of book that you pick up and cannot put down; a book you make short order of in one or a few sittings. But, as you can expect from me, even my “lighter” recommendations are a bit dense and opaque. After all, I am the girl who read Infinite Jest while lounging at the beach a couple years ago. That is why this episode is aptly titled “Beach Reads for Poindexters” -- a poindexter is a nerd or a geek; a bookish individual, likely socially awkward. I use the term lovingly and playfully. But yeah... these are beach reads for nerds like me, those of us who still want some enrichment out of our summer reading.

Tune into today's episode all about, well, love.  I devoured this book in a few hours sitting (on an airplane ride home from Greece).  In all about love, hooks begins by providing a definition of love as a verb, an action, a choice.  Further, hooks advocates the integration of a "Love Ethic" in American society.  Listen to my ramblings about this interesting piece all about love.

Tune into today's episode about trash reality television competition show Next In Fashion.  Okay, I honestly feel bad calling this trash reality television, because it was actually pretty good.  But I've said it on the show before and I'll say it again: when I'm not reading, I'm watching trash reality television - I'm a sucker for a competition show, especially of the dating variety.  So, between reviews of classic and contemporary literature, expect some trash tv reviews as well (I'm sorry David Foster Wallace, you are rolling in your grave that you inspired a podcast about literature AND trash television).  Anyway, listen in to today's episode to hear my thoughts on the competition for who is Next In Fashion.

I also discuss Ferrante's "memoir" In The Margins: On the Pleasures of Reading and Writing

Tune into another episode, this one not about books but rather about my Top Albums of 2022.  I'm a total album listener.  I listen to albums like I read books: when I find an album that I love, I listen to it top to bottom on repeat for weeks or months at a time, almost reading it as a narrative.  I don't love talking about music, because once I start talking about music, I realize how little I actually know about music in a critical sense.  But albums really make up my year and remind me of eras of my life so I want to share that with you all and keep it as an archive for myself, too.
