63. We Love Clowns

The circus must have come to our town, because everyone is most certainly acting like a clown. Take it from the two clowns who host this podcast! There's clownery happening in recent popular music and white clownery in The White Lotus and the clown responses that followed. Someone cue up A Little Night Music. We're getting into everything from the mechanics of living colonialism to the Trouble of weaponizing criticism. Trouble with a capital 'T' and that rhymes with 'C' and that stands for clown.
