ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
A podcast about friendship and art hosted by Brian Glavey. For each episode I'll talk to a pair of friends about a work of art or aesthetic experience that they share. It could be a concert they went to when they first met, a book they've argued over for decades, a song that plays on repeat whenever they get together. The show is devoted to the General Theory of Relatability: the idea that the way not to let a marvelous experience go wasted is to share it with someone else. Thanks to Greg Stuart for the music, Laura Heffernan for the art, and Kristin Grogan for the big idea.
