Show Description/Notes

Sometimes you just wanna hear from someone else. In this bonus episode, Alex Leff enters Crazy Town to introduce his podcast, Human Nature Odyssey. Before playing the first episode of the podcast, Jason, Rob, and Asher find lots of laughs with Alex as they contemplate environmental destruction, gorilla suits, the fate of civilization, tandem bike rides, imaginary games, and how to make a podcast. If you need a little more encouragement to check out Human Nature Odyssey, our friend Tom Murphy (author of the Do the Math blog) gives it his highest recommendation.

This is both deeply promising and brilliantly produced. The story line and synesthetic audio are amazing. A little bit detracting. I aam more than a little anxious that the verbal content won’t be on par with the powerful perceptual packaging. Rather than just a message, however deep and coherent it may be, I ask is it exactly the message that we need right now? On account of this being a serious crisis. If so, how do you know?
