Episodes

  1. Bugs by The Optimism Delivers House Band

    Indie rock in the style of... I'm not sure. Stephen Malkmus, but not as good? Production, drums and keys by Jeff of Of Heaven and Sea. Album photo courtesy of Kal at Unsplash. "Work for W.A.S.T.E." via Thomas Pynchon. Music, lyrics and guitars are me. Enjoy.

  2. Ep. 03: Mad Max and The Impossibility Of Oversharing

    In which Matt and Change The Thought's Chris Cox discuss a bazillion big ideas. Like the ways in which genre fiction shapes our culture. The value of sharing every idea you ever have. And the role of design in politics.

  3. Ep. 02: True Detective and The Sources Of Inspiration

    Matt talks about True Detective and lets loose with a completely uniformed theory about why the first and second seasons felt so different.

  4. Ep. 01: Animal Kingdom and The Fine Creative Line

    On the first episode of Optimism Delivers, Matt rides solo with a soliloquy about the TNT show Animal Kingdom and the fine line between brave authenticity and pure cheese.
