We welcome "the new Mick" as a co-host, the former guest and illustrious Charlotte Pattison. Spaceman pushes the new Dirty Projectors album. Greggs reads us a full *paragraph* chapter from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny." Charlotte breaks down the personal paradox of the social contract. We wonder about the motherland we share and how our daily life addresses fear in its various forms.
