The only rightthinking podcast in the land is here with some extended and meandering yapping about Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, how a few sentences from a book Jon Ronson wrote twenty years ago explains maybe everything, and more pointless complaining about human hydration habits. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
