Summary

Once again, we peer into the last voicemail inbox in America, in order to answer your most pressing questions. Questions include: should I move away from home? What was the most interesting revolution? How should we fund art? And how angry should I be? N.B. There is some (mild) discussion of self-harm at 35.55-36.47. NOTES: Baked goods are foods made from dough or batter and cooked by baking. Salted meats are therefore not baked goods unless baked in a dough or batter. Books mentioned in the revolution section include: The Gods Are Thirsty by Tanith Lee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gods_Are_Thirsty_(Tanith_Lee) The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions The beat used for the Chomsky Drop is "Grounded", by Mert Oksuz. The panel this week was associate editor Vanessa A. Bee, contributing editor Eli Massey, amusements and managing editor Lyta Gold, and editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson. Your host is Pete Davis. This episode was edited by Dan Thorn of Pink Noise Studios in Somerville, MA.
