Excellent work as ever. Definitely identify with this. The moment you began to investigate this desire to isolate through sound I was SHOOK. The commentary on how our world has changed from the walkman commercial to the beats commercial is spot on and heartbreaking. We really seem to be in a period of collective exhaustion. Maybe I’ll take a week off of the old podcast app… probably not lol

I did NOT expect to learn that headphones were invented by a fundamentalist Mormon but now that I know this I feel compelled to share it
