In this episode Jen and Bridget discuss art under The Circumstances, the relative futility of the high road, and comfort viewing.

Quote: “the smoking rubble of what was once a functioning infrastructure”

NB: We recorded this episode in Jen’s aunt’s apartment, and someone starts vacuuming in the apartment above at the 54-56 minute mark.
