Hi! I have a new podcast with my former Shipwreck collaborator and other brain half Casey Childers. It’s about myths and folklore and salt, and generally telling stories as a way to make sense of the world.
You can listen to the first two episodes here on spotify, but we’re also on itunes and pretty much wherever you get pods.
Our Patreon tiers are pretty cool—for $2 we probably won’t put a curse on you; for $5 (the Mermaid Level) I send you a zine of (currently) my favorite NYT cooking comments; for $10, Goat-level patrons get access to BILLY: an electronic journal (monthly) of lightly edited neural network-generated folktales. Come for the machine learning collaboration and stay for the forceful extraction of meaning from the empty words. For $20, the Talking Horse tier, we’ll do something even more amazing, as soon as we figure out what it’ll be.
The second episode, about The King of Animals, is out today, and I’d love if you listened.
xxo
