In the meantime, please enjoy three episodes of “Do You Hear That?” a podcast about birds that Paul and Noah made last summer. prompt: realistic photo, outside with binoculars, birdwatching

We took a week off, but here’s a rebroadcast from Tyler Stalman’s show “Stalman Podcast” with Adam as his guest, talking all about AI.

Noah and Adam gave up on the show, but then they gave up on that because there’s still so much to talk about and let’s be honest, we missed us. So we’re back. You love it.

What if you could meet someone on a website in 2007, collaborate on creative projects, and then start a podcast in a pandemic that reflected the highs and lows of consumerist culture, all from across the country? We tried that, and for a year and change, it was a bright spot in both of our lives. We called it All Consuming, and the takeaway? Don’t sleep on friendship, you guys.
