So glad to see it being covered in podmass this week. I said a few weeks ago that it had become the highlight of my podcast feed, and that is still the case.

It has honestly become one of the highlights of my week, which hasn't been the case for a podcast for me in a long time

Any Chapo Trap House listeners here? This week's interview with NYT magazine's Greg Howard about sport, its position in culture and politics, was really enlightening, not to mention hilarious.

That entire Algiers album is rad. 'Irony. Utility. Pretext.' another standout for me.

Off the top of my head:
Songs:
1. Death Grips - On GP

5. Grimes - Realiti (demo version)
6. Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free
7. David Bowie - Blackstar
Albums:
1. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
2. Sufjan Stevens -…
