What happens when a 17th-century painting technique collides with Road Runner cartoons, identity politics, world hunger, meta-narratives, forest fires, Jewish humor, and mesquite-smoked duck?

Join us for a conversation about art, humor, grief, philosophy, identity, and the strange recursive loop of being human — told through one of the most energetic and original voices we've ever had on the show.
