Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Spitting Off the Edge of the World" & Flat Earth with Michael Colby of Haunted Apartment Complex

from Getting Down & Wordy · host Russell Pirkle & Hannah Weyer

Michael Colby, from the podcast Jack Billings Presents: Haunted Apartment Complex, stops by to fanboy out with Russell over Yeah Yeah Yeahs . . while Hannah sits there awkwardly and probably thinks about Dungeons & Dragons or something. And we discuss the dialect-y origins of their band name. Then we talk about all the things that we say that hark back to a simpler, flatter earth (like 'edge of the world'). Surprisingly, a flat earth is in a lot of ways a very new idea, and not something people believed for most of recorded history. For Eurovision, we discuss Moldova's 2023 offering, Pasha Parfeni's "Soarele şi Luna", like we're at our own little three person burning man. And we learn some Moldovan idioms.
