8. The Idiot - send me a long cryptic email so I know it's real

In this episode, I’m joined by Katherine (@Katherout), a fellow podcaster & Seattle-based content creator, to talk about The Idiot by Elif Batuman.

Katherine and I talk about the intimate and lifelike style of this novel and how it compares to novels like Sally Rooney's and movies like Ladybird. Katherine and I also discuss how we approached college, what we wish we'd done differently, and how we keep learning outside of school. Finally, we talk about the complexities and nuances of communication and how different mediums can make those communications more or less intimate (hot take - Snapchat is kind of peak intimacy?)
