Podcasts about bad art friend

Hello! Welcome to the second instalment of our series on Philip Seymour Hoffman and his diverse oeuvre. Today we're talking aboutCapote (Miller, 2005), which is about as far fromAlong Came Polly (Hamburg, 2004) as you can get. We fan out over Hoffman's ability to exhibit several emotions at once and we discuss how Truman, and not the murders, is the movie's biggest mystery.Hoffman won an Oscar for this one, and we think his performance is worth a look, so join us!Also, we had a couple of whoopsies with the sound in the first half, so we (well, I) apologize. But also, I'm not a professional sound technician, so you get what you get. :)

Candice Lim is joined by Slate culture writer Nadira Goffe to break down the BookTok drama surrounding Old Enough by Haley Jakobson. Last year, Old Enough hit the shelves as a queer, coming-of-age novel about a sophomore in college named Sav and her ex-best friend, Izzie. A year later, a guest of Lucie Fink's podcast The Real Stuff claimed she was allegedly the basis for Izzie and that her childhood was “plagarized” for the novel — from her experience with sexual assault to sensitive details about her family. On today's episode, ICYMI asks how this BookTok drama became the “Bad Art Friend” of 2024 and where the lines should be drawn when it comes to using the trauma of others to sell a book.

Annie: Thanks for joining us for episode zero. This episode is a little special because we'll introduce you, our LitFam, to the LitFriends podcast. We'll talk about our origins, our season one guests, and how much I love Lito. Aww, and how much I love you, Annie. Annie:  This is Annie Liontas. Lito: And I'm Lito Velázquez. Welcome to LitFriends, a podcast in which we speak with novelists, poets, memoirists, writers, and thinkers of all kinds about the great work that they do in the world, on and off the page, and about their great literary friendships. Annie: This show has everything, British nicknames, e-flirtations, picking up fam when they're down, literary competition, rooting for one another, and more. Lito: And much, much more. Join us this season as we welcome the amazing writers: Annie & Lito: * Marie-Helene Bertino and CJ Hauser * Liz Moore and Asali Solomon * George Saunders and Paula Saunders * Yiyun Lee and Edmund White * Melissa Febos and Danika Kelly * Deb Olin-Unferth and Lucy Corin * Justin Torres and Angela Flournoy Annie & Lito: Get ready to get lit! Lito: Welcome to the show. I'm so glad we're here, Annie. It's been a long time coming. We've been thinking about– Annie: Ages! Lito: …making this show for over a year and a half, pretty much since the pandemic, though. So maybe more like two or three years. Annie: Yeah, I feel like I've waited my whole life to do this show with you, Lito. Lito: I know I've been wanting someone to collaborate with, and you're the perfect friend to do this with. A show about two of our greatest loves, writing, literature—  Annie: Friendship! Lito: And friendship. Yeah, I guess that's three things. Annie: The more the merrier. Lito: The more the merrier. Every week we're going to have writers on the show who we admire, whose work has moved us deeply, and whose friendships we think are really impressive and interesting. Annie: Yeah, we're going to talk about literary competition between friends, hardships, how you pick one another up when you're down. Heartbreak. Lito: Big wins, like celebrating things. It's amazing the stories that have come out of these conversations because people get to talk about their friends, and how great is that? Annie: They really talk about parts of their friendship that they don't even talk about with one another.  Lito: That's right, because when do you get a chance to really talk to your friend about them. Annie: (02:20) When do you say to your friend, I love you? Lito: I love you. But beyond just I love you, like, here's all the reasons why I love you. Here's what you do in my life. That's really great. Here's why you're beautiful, not just in the work that you do, but how you show up as a person. And that's not how writers get portrayed. We were looking for a project to interview people who we thought were great and interesting. And you were already doing that, right? Annie: Yeah, I was doing that with the Gloss interview series with Marie-Helene Bertino, and a number of others, through Electric Lit, Bomb, The Believer. That really arose out of pandemic, when I saw all of these amazing writers who weren't really able to share their work because of the pandemic. Lito: So, one day we were sitting at your house, Annie, I don't know if you remember this, on your couch and we were talking about writing podcasts and making podcasts. I've been wanting to do one for a really long time and I've been writing for a long time, and I've spoken with different people about it, and it's never quite worked out. This is the first time when we both came up with a great idea. I said, "I think it would be really great to talk to people about their friendships, because no one really does that enough." And then you said, I don't know if you remember, you said, "what if we got literary friendships? Because they're so special, like ours." Ours is a friendship on a deep, deep level, but we're like family, but we're also in this very unique world, which is the writing world. Annie: In the struggle. Lito: In the struggle! Annie: In the never ending struggle! Yes. In the never ending struggle that is writing. We know a lot about the industry. We both got our MFA at Syracuse University, though at very different times. And we love people, we love friends, and we love great writing. And so it made perfect sense to make a podcast about it. Annie: You know, and I don't think I could do this with anybody else. I have a lot of lit friends—making this with you is has been so special. It's something I'm going to hold on to forever. Lito: It's such a pleasure and a joy. Annie: One of the great similarities and worldviews that we share. I mean, we're both queer. We both have the immigrant experience. Lito: That's right. Annie: (04:39) And I think that a lot of what literary friendships are, are in fact quite queer, right? Like there is a there's a queering of the experience simply in recognizing. This is chosen family and this is how we get through. Lito: The thing that surprises me the most and you'll see when you hear these interviews is the material that comes out. It's like nothing else. And people want to get so intimate and so comfortable because they're speaking about their favorite person who's intimate in their lives, but in a special way that has to do with writing. Annie: Yeah. You know, and this for me came out of thinking a lot about the function and the role of literary friendships. I mean, we can all remember back to Bad Art Friend and other pieces that were run in places like the New York Times, maybe unnecessarily glorifying and dramatizing the kinds of drama, just straight drama between former friends, right? And there's a whole lot of, I mean, there's an entire lineage and inheritance of this. And the writer, Isle McElroy writes about this in Esquire and talks about, you know, there are like all those great historical feuds, usually between straight white dudes. Like— We're not wrong. Like when Mailer headbutts Gore Vidal or Gabriel Garcia Marquez gets punched out by Mario Vargas Llosa because he told his wife to divorce him. You know, and so that's what we remember culturally. That's sort of what we glorify. But the reality, and what we're hearing in all of these conversations is what feeds us and what nourishes us is actually these friendships that pick us up when we're down, that celebrate us when we have these successes, without limitation or inhibition, really allow us to rise to our better selves to put our egos and fears and insecurities about our own writing success down so that we can do that for one another. And so for me, this podcast is actually the reality. This is the reality of how writers get by, and how they get through. Lito: (07:02) That's right. I think we have this idea in our cultural imagination that writers sit in a room by themselves in the dark or with a candlelight and a pencil, and they just, from their brain, pull out a story out of nowhere because they are "inspired to." Whereas actually all writing is generated, I think from lots of conversations with people living and dead, but especially close literary friendships in which the intimacy revolves around writing. It's a community practice, but it's a friend practice. We don't show our work to just everyone. We show it to our literary friends, our first readers. And we talk about literature in a certain way with other writers who we admire and whose work we think is somehow symbiotic with our own, even if we're doing completely different practices. Annie: Yeah, it's about sharing the work, but it's also about sharing the vulnerabilities. I'm thinking about Asali Solomon and Liz Moore, who will have later this season, who are both part of the Claw, a writer's salon for women and non-binary writers in Philadelphia. And, you know, they don't necessarily share work, but they share experiences. They commiserate, they talk about their anxieties, they talk about their successes. And it really makes me think about the industry necessity of having mutual knowledge like this. When publishers want to keep us really divided as writers and artists, right? If we are quiet in our corners and not collaborating, then we actually don't have the kind of collective understanding of how to advocate for ourselves, how to protect our work, and how to support one another. Lito: Yes, and I'm thinking of Angela Flournoy, whose first novel was shortlisted for the National Book Award, and Justin Torres, who just won the National Book Award. And their conversation with us, in which they really get into the boostering of each other, the promoting of each other, the helping each other through, the counseling each other through, that happens in these quiet spaces between friends on the phone, like with Lucy Corin and Deb Olin Unferth. I think you'll join us for an incredible season of inspiring conversations in which we talk to some of the best thinkers of our time. Both: Happy Friendsgiving LitFam! Lito: In our first episode, we speak with Justin Torres and Angela Flournoy, available for download on Friendsgiving, Friday, November 24th. Join us.

Hannah and Maia try to make sense of the Rorschach test that is "Who is the Bad Art Friend?". Is the literary beef between Dawn and Sonya actually as juicy and layered as Twitter made it out to be?

Sarah goes deep on the Duke lacrosse rape scandal — the complicated true story, the troubled woman who filed the claims, the abdication of due process, and the false narrative promoted by key figures including Duke faculty members calling themselves the “Group of 88.” The goal was to exact justice “regardless of the truth.” A bunch of preppy white athletes needed a historical comeuppance, though it didn't work out like that. “People who lie endorse lies,” Nancy suggests, before giving a big huzzah to a recent New Yorker piece asking why we valorize trauma and what happens when we do. In her own reporting, Nancy has seen how lies like that result in dead kids.Nancy engages in some mouth-frothing over the Fabulist of the Week, a writer on Grey's Anatomy who faked cancer for years, while Sarah shares a story about her run-in with New York Times fabulist Jayson Blair, and we bond over childhood fibbing: Nancy said she was related to the Osmonds, and Sarah told people she had a phone date with River Phoenix.

When it comes to generosity, there's a wide spectrum in terms of how far we'll go for others. There's buy-your-friends-dinner generosity, donate-to-charities generosity — and then there's give-your-organ-to-a-perfect-stranger generosity. There's generosity that makes us feel good, generosity that happens anonymously, generosity that goes viral on social media, generosity that changes someone's mood, and generosity that changes someone's life. On this episode, we explore generosity — what it is, where it comes from, and how it spreads. We talk with Georgetown psychologist and neuroscientist Abigail Marsh, who studies everything from psychopaths to extraordinary altruists. We hear stories about the role of an altruistic family structure in the Black community and find out how the TV show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” is inspiring random acts of kindness. Also heard on this week’s episode: When Kelly Schmidt heard about a stranger who was hanging onto dear life as he waited for a donated kidney, she made a spur-of-the-moment decision to help him — by donating one of her own. She'd been a volunteer for an organization called Gift of Life, and had long felt passionate about organ donation — but this was a huge step beyond her previous volunteer work. What motivated this incredibly generous act? We talk to Kelly and the recipient of her kidney, Roc Hyon. Georgetown University psychologist and neuroscientist Abigail Marsh has spent years studying the human spectrum of altruism. She explains what brain scans of psychopaths helped her discover about extraordinary altruists, how the desire for gratitude complicates altruistic motives, and how organ donors felt about The New York Times Magazine's viral story, “Who Is the Bad Art Friend.” When Sade Boyewa lost her job due to COVID-19, she took it as a blessing in disguise — and started the Harlem Community Fridge, sparking a movement of generosity across New York City and beyond. But can altruism stirred by the pandemic create lasting change? What would cause strangers who've never met to send each other help, money, and gifts? Just one shared interest: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Alan Yu reports on a close-knit community that's sprung up thanks to a Facebook group for fans of a podcast dedicated to the show, “Buffering the Vampire Slayer.”

By the late 60s, that Vegas “anything goes” philosphy was fully solidified. And look no further than Hunter S. Thompson's drug-fueled literary romp, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, to see this on full display. In making his surreal, snide and colorful portrait of Las Vegas – Thompson would later be accused of erasing the identity of the man who helped tell the tale. And that's what this episode is about, how Thompson capitalized on a fantastical version of Vegas, and his friend – Chicano journalist Oscar Acosta – to promote the enduring representation of Las Vegas as “Sin City.” So what did he leave out? And what do people continue to leave out to espouse this fever dream fantasy of Vegas as a vice vacation? Host Brent Holmes digs into it with filmmaker Phillip Rodriguez and writers Zach Baron, Abby Aguirre and Scott Dickensheets. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is the free edition of Rich Text, a newsletter about cultural obsessions from your Internet BFFs Emma and Claire. If you like what you see and hear, consider becoming a paid subscriber. Rich Text is a reader-supported project — no ads or sponsors!We soft launched Rich Text one year ago. It was supposed to be a hobby, an experiment, an attempt to rediscover joy in writing after a demoralizing year of Covid scares, lockdowns, and (for Claire) new motherhood. Instead, in the 12 months since our inaugural newsletter — thanks to an unexpected layoff — it became one of our primary projects and sources of income.We rapidly ramped up our newsletter capacity, and, in an attempt to keep up with our Bachelor coverage as Matt James's season wound to a chaotic close, we began publishing our recap podcasts here as well. Our Bachelor podcast, Here to Make Friends, eventually found a new home with Stitcher as Love to See It with Emma and Claire, but we immediately realized that we had an opportunity with Rich Text to podcast about everything else: scripted TV, books, weird Twitter storms like Bad Art Friend and broader cultural topics like motherhood. We kept writing essays, if less frequently than we should have. In the year since we launched this newsletter, it's grown from a tiny side gig to the center of our work life. And that, to be honest, is about all of you. We were, and are, profoundly grateful for everyone who subscribed to the newsletter in the wake of our involuntary departure from HuffPost, and we are grateful for everyone who subscribes now. We appreciate everyone who reads and/or listens to Rich Text, everyone who shares it, and everyone who lets it pile up in their inbox because it really can be pretty hard to keep up with all your subscriptions (Claire says, eyeing her stack of unopened NYRBs in the corner). And, of course, we appreciate those readers and listeners who pay for premium subscriptions. Everyone who pays to subscribe to Rich Text makes it possible for us to keep doing what we love, which is writing and talking about culture. Starting a newsletter was a sort of optimistic, clean-slate New Year's gesture in 2021, when we wanted it to signify our renewed commitment to blogging it out and keeping our synapses firing. Now it's another new year, and another moment to take stock. Much like 2020, 2021 didn't go much like we expected (globally, politically, professionally, or personally). Professionally, it's been a terrifying and yet exhilarating new world for us. In this week's pod, we talk about how this year of Rich Text went, what we're proud of, and what we want to work on in 2022. This week, in lieu of recommendations, we're digging into the Rich Text archives. Here are our favorite podcast episodes and essays of 2021. ClaireEmmaPodcast EpisodesPlease let us know in the comments what you'd love to see more of in 2022! And again, thank you for being here.

This week we fondly look back at Frankfurt 2021 with special guest, literary agent, and host of the Make Books Travel podcast, Marleen Seegers; an opinion piece by TRF agent Kathryn Willms on receiving passes; and our first in-house panel discussion on the Bad Art Friend drama, made famous by Robert Kolker in the NYT magazine, featuring editor Diane Terrana, agent Natalie Kimber, brand manager Anne Sampson, and moderated by Kathryn Willms.     

Chris finally gets a taste of pandemic parenting, while Liz has unexpectedly gotten sucked into Succession. Then we dig into the last two items in our pop culture grab bag: The viral New York Times piece "Who Is The Bad Art Friend?" (where we arrive at different conclusions) and our experiences of taking our dads to see the new Bond movie (where our experiences are strikingly similar -- is Bond an immigrant dad thing?). Plus, our top five greatest joys from smallest pleasures. Turns out there's joy to be found everywhere, from In-N-Out burgers to perfectly-sized Tupperwares! We hope your holidays are full of it.

Kan en författare samtidigt vara en bra kompis? Författaren Lyra Koli funderar på vilka krav vi kan ställa på en skrivande vän och på litteraturen som vännen skriver. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Föreställ dig att din kompis har donerat sin njure. Hon har gjort det av fullständigt osjälviska skäl: på Facebook skriver hon att hennes svåra barndom har fått henne att fatta hur viktigt det är med empati med främlingar. Därefter har hon lyckats träffa den för henne dittills anonyma mottagaren: en ortodox judisk man, och tagit glada bilder ihop med honom och hans familj. Hon blir ett ansikte utåt för organdonationer. På sociala medier hopas hjärtan och kommentarer om hennes storslagna medkänsla.Du stör dig på statusuppdateringarna, bilderna och reaktionerna. Du tycker inte att hennes organdonation verkar särskilt osjälvisk, men du vågar bara gnälla över det i privata chattrådar. Hur skulle du framstå om du öppet anklagade henne för att vara självgod, du som själv aldrig skulle komma på tanken att ge ett av dina organ till en främling? Och vad exakt är det du stör dig på?Tankarna börjar snurra, och med dem inspirationen. Snart har du knåpat ihop en novell om en organdonation, där en av din kompis facebookstatusar förekommer nästan ordagrant. Novellen heter Den snällaste och handlar om en narcissistisk organdonator, en vit riddare som bygger sitt rykte på att gett en bit av sin kropp till ett stackars rasifierat offer. Du försöker dölja novellen för din kompis in i det sista, men snart blir den din genombrottsberättelse som en bokfestival ska trycka i 30 000 exemplar och dela ut gratis i hela Boston. Din kompis blir förkrossad och rasande. Hon stämmer dig och festivalen för plagiat.Ungefär såhär går historien om organdonatorn Dawn Dorland och författaren Sonya Larsen, som väckte stor uppmärksamhet i amerikanska litteraturkretsar när New York Times publicerade en lång essä om dem av Robert Kolker med rubriken Bad Art Friend, i oktober 2021. Larsen och Dorland kände varandra från skrivande kretsar i Boston, och båda kände sig svikna av varandra. Dorland tyckte inte att Larsen hade rätt att ta hennes historia, ännu mindre hennes ord. Larsen ansåg att Dorland försökte inskränka hennes konstnärliga frihet och sabba hennes karriär. Vem var egentligen den dåliga konstkompisen här?Frågan om vad en författare har rätt att göra och inte har ofta svårt att hitta fotfäste, eftersom den skär sig med idén om konstens grundläggande frihet. Det brukar också vara lite otydligt vilken sorts rätt man talar om: juridisk, etisk, social eller estetisk? Ska överträdelsen ställas mot det konstnärliga värdet, som när vissa i debatten om Larsens novell försökte hävda att den var för dålig för att rättfärdigas? Hur bra måste ditt verk i så fall vara för att du ska få såra någon, eller till och med förstöra någons liv? Vad ska hända när du går utanför rätten: ska du censureras, göras ned offentligt eller kanske till och med beläggas med yrkesförbud?Som författare har jag alltid känt mig som en tvivelaktig person. Oavsett hur mycket jag arbetar med fantasier så hämtar jag näring till skrivandet ur verkliga erfarenheter. Allt jag är med om och alla jag träffar riskerar alltså att användas som material för mina fiktioner. Jag är beredd att ta mig nästan vilka friheter som helst, både vad gäller att återge och förvanska verkligheten, även om det knappast skulle vara moraliskt försvarbart.Men litteraturens frihet brukar beskrivas som något rakt igenom gott. Skamlös och ohämmad har blivit positiva värdeord i recensioner, ofta sammankopplade med kraftfull, drabbande och modig. Om det inte handlar om en själv tenderar man gärna att bortse från det stötande med biografiskt inspirerad fiktion, eftersom utlämnande texter kan skapa frigörande läsning. Få skulle kanske vara beredda att gifta sig med en Karl-Ove Knausgård, men många vill ta del av privata detaljer om hans äktenskap.Men litteraturens överträdelser kan inte bara mätas i relation till den information som lämnas ut. Det är snarare något annat som gör författaren obehaglig: en blick som vägrar låta sig slätas över eller relativiseras. Som gärna sväller upp sitt eget godtyckliga omdöme på bekostnad av alla andras, som inte heller avhåller sig från att notera och tänka och känna sådant som man socialt sett borde förtränga. Författaren intresserar sig för det faktum att hon kan känna avsmak för sitt eget barn, begär till sin bästa väns partner eller förakt för sina närmsta vänner. För hennes verk spelar det ingen roll om de här uppfattningarna är rättvisa, rimliga eller direkt skadliga, vare sig för henne själv eller hennes omgivning.Platon ville bannlysa poeterna från sin filosofistat, eftersom han ansåg det förkastligt att uppmuntra människor till att släppa sitt goda omdöme och bara ge sig hän åt alla möjliga känslor. Svartsjuka, lögnaktighet, depressivitet och skadeglädje närs av att man får se inte bara andra som en själv, utan hjältar och gudar, handla utifrån dem. Kanske hade Platon ändå en poäng. Konstens förmåga att gjuta ett ärofyllt ljus över låga känslor kan göra den verkligt farlig. Goethes roman Den unge Werthers lidanden romantiserade ju självmord så övertygande att den gav upphov till en suicidvåg.Det finns alltså ingen garanti för att den kraftfulla litteraturen ska göra mer nytta än skada. Idag finns en något naiv syn på att böcker ska bidra till det demokratiska samtalet, bryta normer och tillhandahålla vittnesmål. Men vad romankonsten ofta synliggör är just de delar av oss själva som vi annars, på gott och ont, helst låter bli att dela med oss av. Konstens frihet överstiger den vi kan ge varandra i en fungerande social samvaro. Freud förundrade sig över diktarens förmåga att få sådant som vi annars inte vill veta av, varken i oss själva eller varandra, att låta vackert. Litteraturen kan sudda ut skammen som bevakar det undanträngda, och frånta författaren sitt sociala ansvar.När Birgitta Stenbergs styvfar dör i Apelsinmannen ser hon både honom och hans sörjande systrar i ett löjeväckande ljus. Birgitta smiter iväg med sitt anteckningsblock, och skriver: Det kändes som ett förräderi att förvandla de gamla damernas gråt och jämmer till en berättelse, inlåst i formuleringar och ord. Samtidigt var det en befrielse, skulden jag kände fick en logisk mening som också upplöste den i intet. Den blev litteratur, en dag skulle den bli allmän egendom.Det är inte bara de gamla damernas gråt, utan framförallt Birgittas något hånfulla blick på dem som blir till allmän egendom. Att litteraturen ibland delger privat information kan göra den suspekt, men det är genom att gestalta de perspektiv och omdömen som vi vanligtvis förstår att hålla för oss själva som den blir verkligt obehaglig. Organdonatorn Dawn Dorland kände inte bara att hennes juridiska rättigheter hade kränkts för att Sonya Larsen hade plagierat hennes facebookstatus. Hon hade blivit framställd som en patetisk narcissist inför hela sin litterära gemenskap. Det är inget man ska göra i en vänskapsrelation, men personligen är jag inte särskilt förvånad över att en författare visar sig vara en usel kompis.Lyra Koli, författare

To watch the rise of viral content is always an interesting exercise. From "Charlie bit my finger" to the "Lulz That Broke Wall Street," the internet is capable of elevating any story, meme, joke, or idea through the ranks of digital fame. This week, we unpack one story, and one question, that took twitter by storm: "Who is the Bad Art Friend?".  The Robert Kolker piece from The New York Times Magazine proved digital catnip, but why? Brooke sits down with Michael Hobbes, journalist and host of the podcast Maintenance Phase, to discuss his review of the story, the Twitter storm, and why we're even talking about all this in the first place.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

The Many Saints of Newark is a film prequel to The Sopranos. It takes place in the 1960s and ’70s, and part of Tony Soprano’s origin story is one of its secondary narratives. It opened in theaters last weekend and will run on HBOMax through October. And: The Closer is Dave Chappelle’s sixth and final (for now, at least) feature-length standup special for Netflix. It is, let’s say, provocative. (The Nose has previously covered three of Chappelle’s other Netflix specials: Equanimity and The Bird Revelation in 2017 and Sticks & Stones in 2019.)

The Gouldian Finch is holding strong in the final moments of Bird of the Year; will this rainbow pom pom take the crown? Tweets have definitely been louder this week, that's for sure, after Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp went offline for hours, leaving people to flock to Twitter. What did the outage say about our daily habits and addictions? Meanwhile an epic long read about a Bad Art Friend has the internet in a tizz, but if you're seeing it and CBF reading it don't worry, we got you. Squid Game? That's another story. Myf is reading a great piece about how and why our work defines us, and how to break that pattern of self-objectification. And a thread about a man who has become a bird husband (basically) has us howling. We really are leaning into the ornithology aye? Meanwhile Zan is watching Summer of Soul, and Myf is digging into The Truth About Anxiety.   Show notes: Bird of the Year Poll final votes: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2021/sep/27/australian-bird-of-the-year-2021-vote-now-for-your-favourite Twitter tweet: https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/1445078208190291973 Who Is the Bad Art Friend: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/05/magazine/dorland-v-larson.html The Guardian summary of Bad Art Friend: https://www.theguardian.com/books/shortcuts/2021/oct/06/bad-art-friend-should-fiction-writers-ever-lift-stories-from-other-peoples-lives Self-Objectification: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/09/self-objectification-work/620246/ Summer of Soul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slFiJpAxZyQ The Truth About Anxiety: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/the-truth-about-anxiety-with-celia-pacquola/1945155651586 Wife Guy / Bird Husband: https://twitter.com/berudenotto_/status/1444915701630705669 Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au   Bang On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.
