6: DEEP DIVE: Cowboy Carter, Friendship's Radical Potential, and the Limits of Representation
Today's a long one, so buckle in. We deep dive into the politics of representation and the actual good that celebrity has to shape a better world. Particularly, we chat about Cowboy Carter (what a great album) and the politics of Beyoncé. Perhaps in counterpoint, we discuss the healing potential of friendships, and how restructuring our lives around friendship has led to a fuller life for us. Plus, lots of extra fun tidbits along the way.
