    PREVIEW Bending the Knee to Luke Turner in 2024

    Adam explains his experiences as a contributor of Compact Magazine, how it was pitched to him versus what the magazine has become, based around the recent resigning of friend of the show Nina Power as an editor of the project after Luke Turner leaked private communications between her and former guest Daniel Miller that were presented as evidence during their legal battle with the sociopathic British artist Turner.. Hate to have to be acknowledging Luke Turner in 2024, but that's where we are.

    Harm Reduction Mantra (W/ Shay Semple)

    People have been telling me for years that the artist Shay Semple and I would get along. Finally, we started bonding on Instagram over a shared contempt for the Tumblr art of Nina Hartman. Shay, who hails from the Fentanyl cesspool of Vancouver, is the OG MAGA art world figure, known equally for his irreverent paintings, his provocative zines, and his hilarious rants, discusses with Adam his art world cancellation, the downfall of all that is punk rock, moral and intellectual weakness, demographic shifts, the Opioid Crisis and more.

appreciated.

appreciate the content, but the background sounds/music provide too much dissonance.

Good Content but fix your audio mixing

At times, I could hardly hear the discussion because the music was too loud.
