The Orange & Teal Podcast

We venture into musical territory in this episode as Annie Laurie informs us about a monument that plays itself and the album she wrote her entire dissertation to, while Nathaniel discusses the sound of the 1980s and the complicated legacy of one of his musical icons. *NOTE*: We will be moving to a biweekly schedule temporarily due to the rigors of the teaching semester. Also, Nathaniel's computer died, taking the old theme music with it, so you may notice some slight differences in the mix of it.

In Episode 8 we take some time to consider things that are all around us, from white-tailed deer to surveillance, nitrogen to logos -- we're talking ubiquitous!

What do curated botanical gardens, leafy symbols of authority, grassy blocks of Minecraft, and green paint have in common? They're all verdant!

Our inaugural episode tackles the biting wit of mordant, discussing satire, comedy as a remedy for disagreement, when witty retorts are seen as playful rather than harmful, and--for some reason--beet soup.
