Darius and Emma spend this week discussing research and how to do it. Darius has devoted his life to developing the perfect research workflow, even commanding a Twitter bot to remind him of the unread articles on his reading list. Emma, convers
Emma teaches Darius about what it was like to make websites as a preteen in the year 2000. Darius is happily surprised to learn that social capital has always been tied to one's ability to purchase a domain name. Emma holds forth on Neopets, bl

In this episode, we discuss audio sampling, from hip hop to found sound recordings, passing through technical methods and meanings to the influence of copyright law on musical practice. What’s recontextualisation and what’s theft? Who gets to
In our second (also somewhat meta) episode, we talk about the place of a creator in their creative work. We discuss confessionalism, navigating the fine line between relatability and specificity, and how identity factors into the reception of a
In our very first episode we get, well, kind of meta. We talk about our creative processes and what led us to being the kind of people who just make tons of stuff and put it on the internet. Topics discussed include: creative constraint as defe
