Hello and welcome to episode 59.
This is our last interview for a while, and we decided to talk to our friend Camille Bromley, who is one of our favorite magazine editors. We talked about why magazines still matter, even when working at them is incredibly painful. We think you guys will really like this conversation and have so enjoyed all the conversations we’ve had so far. Thank you (REALLY) for listening.

Hello and welcome to Diversity Hire. Today is a special episode, a pilot for a potential pay-walled project we are thinking of calling The Minority Report. Our inaugural guest is art world maven Dean Kissick. Lots of tea was spilled about the origins of current hot neighborhoods, E-flux talks, autofiction, the SCENE, working out and staying healthy, and why fiction is the hardest art of all. Kevin and Arjun talk about the misplaced nostalgia of current partying, being grumpy, and whiteboy bands that suck. Thanks for listening!
