Trent and Joel interview Laura Kipnis, author of numerous books, including Love in the Time of Contagion; Men: Notes from an Ongoing Investigation; and Against Love.  The discussion includes topics such as love, the utopian vision, Laura's inspiration to write, cynicism about the current cultural moment, whether or not Laura acts as a prophet, etc.  She describes coming from a secular background but experiencing a unique variant of superstition.  She also talks about her ability to see cultural movements before they happen, while talking about the "elephants in the room." 

You'll appreciate Laura's candor and wit in this episode, and perhaps you'll be inspired to find and express your unique voice in a way only you know how.
