Episodes

  1. It's Not Perfect But It's Mine

    A little bonus for you. Duncan and James discuss their thoughts on Season 1 of HTT.

  2. Anything Goes

    In this final episode of Season 1, Duncan and James are joined by their long-time pals Daniel and John for a rousing conversation about the "punks." Topics include how Star Wars paved the way for imagining a lived-in future, and how art often pioneers avenues for scientific discovery and...

  3. Art + Science = Candles

    Which comes first, the art or the science? After a disturbingly long silence, James and Duncan sit down to re-record an episode that was tragically lost to faulty hard drives. This episode covers art, previews season 2 with a little science, and observes the fascinating and often unexpected...

  4. Trouble In Paradise

    HTT had to undergo a legally mandated face lift. Learn about how and why. Also, we talk about fall... again.

  5. Eulogy: Homestyle Table Talk with Duncan, James, and Angela

    In our first episode with a guest, James and Duncan are joined by Angela to discuss amphitheater and stage design, how we have been introduced to art from our culture's history through secondary sources, and how the title of a song can significantly influence the interpretation of a scene.

  6. Mostly Bonsai

    After long enough, we finally got the HTT gang back together for our next episode. Recorded in the morning after breakfast, this episode is our first with only one thing. We discuss how the elements and principles of art can be taught even in the midst of just one specific art style.

  7. Summer Camp - Week 2

    Monty Python, Egyptian weapons, sociopathy, anthropomorphising artificial intelligence, Miranda rights jokes, Watergate, and Squarespace are the eye of our conversation storm. Stay through the credits for the most laughs... Because we are both out of town this week, we're giving you another taste...

  8. Summer Camp - Week 1

    In anticipation of James being out of town for camp this week, we sat down for a short little conversation about one of our favorite TV shows.

  9. Nostalgia

    "It takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It's not called 'The Wheel,' it's called 'The Carousel.' It lets us travel the way a child travels. Around and around and back home again to a place where we know we are loved."

  10. Casting Through the Funk

    Some days are just funky. How do you get inspired when you need to shake things up?

  11. "Space... Movies"

    Back, and better than ever, Duncan and James discuss "space" (not the ~outer~ kind), and movies that bring us comfort.

  12. Designers are Journalists

    Duncan and James sit down for their first official fireside chat. Hear a little bit about design processes, instagram "traps", and how we might view the things around us as more than what they appear to be.
