    Halloween traditions discussed. The "break" side of breakdancing after 40. Various nostalgic feelings about audio content of our youth. The commitment to throw more basement parties. A gardening mystery. And the worst idea for a new podcast, ever. 
    J is binging Easy Rawlins mysteries by Walter Mosley, and manages to be nerdy about it. P introduces us to the most macabre disco song ever.

    Have you recently given thought to the way you use your living space? Or how your living space reflects/informs/affects your experience and relationships? We explore this and other questions both architectural and existential, while folding laundry.
    Also: the power of boredom, reasons to stop complaining, and praise for stretchy pants and other technologies that changed our lives.
