It's Not That Deep but Let's Start Digging

In this guest episode, Meghana and Phoebe are joined by Jumana, who chooses to talk about art, the art world, and anything else that pertains to it. Meghana is slightly out of their depth. Phoebe uses this as an excuse to talk about one of their favorite art pieces. Jumana is introduced to the technical difficulties of recording remotely. They all truly apologize for everything. ✨Things we talked about: ✨ Marcel Duchamp's Fountain "The Story Behind Banksy" by Will Ellsworth-Jones Wonderspaces  The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced new representation and inclusion standards for Oscars eligibility in the Best Picture category (and it is not simply "you need a certain amount of diverse actors on-screen") 🖼️ Find us at all of our socials!! 🖼️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letstartdiggingpod/ Tumblr: https://letstartdiggingpod.tumblr.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/letstartdigging --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letstartdigging-podcast/message

In this episode, Phoebe chooses to discuss something they have no right spending so much time thinking about: literary theory. Meghana talks about books they read during their time in compulsory education. Phoebe reads and paraphrases from Wikipedia pages. They both read from their own individual essay they wrote in high school, only to find out their interests are more similar than they thought. ✨Things we talked about: ✨ "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" by Jorge Luis Borges  "The Death of the Author" by Roland Barthes  "Addressing Game Theory's Biggest Problem" by The Game Theorists  The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien  📚 Find us at all of our socials!!  📚 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/letstartdiggingpod/ Tumblr: https://letstartdiggingpod.tumblr.com/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/letstartdigging --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letstartdigging-podcast/message

In this episode, Meghana chooses to talk about k-pop, but as a geopolitical force and not as a genre. Phoebe derails the conversation by talking about Beyblade: Metal Saga as if they're still in sixth grade. Meghana disses astrology and wonders if it's Pluto or Mercury that can be in retrograde (it's both). They both say things they will 100% be attacked for, but please don't attack them unless they said something factually incorrect, in which case please link sources. ✨Things we talked about:  "Blood Sweat & Tears" by BTS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmE9f-TEutc "Run" by BTS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wn85Ge22FQ "God's Menu" by Stray Kids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQTlCHxyuu8 "Dynamite" by BTS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdZLi9oWNZg Asma's review of A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3585134911 Naomi Giddings's Twitter thread about Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell https://twitter.com/naomigiddings/status/1128704083106377729 Justine Larbalestier's "On Writing PoC When You Are White" https://justinelarbalestier.com/blog/2015/10/20/on-writing-poc-when-you-are-white/ 🎹 Find us at all of our socials!!  🎹 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letstartdiggingpod/ Tumblr: https://letstartdiggingpod.tumblr.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/letstartdigging --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letstartdigging-podcast/message
