50: Platonic Fried Chicken

50 episodes! Unfortunately, we forgot and make no mention of it. This episode is kinda interesting. It's long and unvarnished, but hopefully you'll spot the gems in our otherwise semi-cogent rambling. Topics include: when to stop reading a book, phonetic alphabets, utilitarian vs. aesthetic design, idealism in general (with a focus on fried chicken), a redefinition of class in America, what happened to art and taste?, and a long digression about art in the 1980s.
