The Rise of Pants with R.L. Grails
Typically, our sources need no protection, but, sometimes, they do. So, we welcome the individual or organization known only as R. L. Grails to the program. We have been in contact with this or these individuals for some duration now, but we have finally decided that it is time to bring his knowledge into the light. We talk, of course about Ralph Lauren, the man, the brand, the legend, etc, but we also peer deeply into the undeniable influence of hip-hop culture, Tommy Hilfiger vs Ralph Lauren, Nirvana as an entry to culture, growing up in the 90s, sharing knowledge, Maximalism, or Not Being A Minimalist, "getting the most out of ordinary things," and more!

Bird Blindness with Nick James
I'M RICK JAMES, NICK! This week, we had the distinct pleasure of hosting New York's Own, Nick James, but not that New York–until recently, anyway.
