One of my absolute favorite Wallace Shawn pieces, erotic (ish) and wicked and deeply (im)moral. Performed to perfection and produced beautifully. Podcasts were meant for Wallace Shawn.
Can’t stop thinking about it

then there are many experiences that you’ve had and don’t share with others. But, from time to time, you enjoy reflecting on. That’s what “Grasses of a Thousand Colors” is like.
Bizarre, but highly entertaining

It’s like hearing an optical illusion… with lots of dicks. Can’t stop listening.
