"They said it would be invisible. Like jumping into an invisible current that just carries you away." The conclusion to The OA's story ends here. Or does it? OA concludes her story to the Crestwood Five before being discovered. Consequently, she gets relocated to a hotel where she gives closure to Nancy and Abel, while the boys and BBA put the pieces of her story together in order to get a clearer picture of it all. Meanwhile, OA gets one final premonition that will propel her to do something she's never done. The OA's season one finale, "Invisible Self" was absolutely bone-chilling, as it leaves you shaken to the core. When it nears its end, we can only imagine what goes through everyone's minds: shock, awe, or laughter even. What happens in the final minutes of the show has been undoubtedly met with a polarizing reaction that goes from eerily beautiful to "unfortunate bang" and "imperfect feeling" by some. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij do not appear to be phased by the critics. Marling states, "What I feel is that your job as a storyteller just to, in that moment as best as you know how, try to tell a legible story. And each time, hopefully get a little bit better at making it legible, and the response is up to the audience. I feel all responses are fair game. Some of the things that have moved me the most in the world are things that other people have not been moved by at all." Batmanglij has a similar sentiment, "But I think people laughing at it and stuff, that's good. That's part of it." He goes on to elaborate that anything unique or otherworldly would cause someone to laugh. He goes on to say, "I think anything truly different, it doesn't just cause awe, and I think a lot of people feel awe when they see the movements — but probably just as many people feel the giggle inside of them and I think that's OK. I don't think there's any specific way to feel." It's wonderful to know that no matter the reaction people have voiced about the finale and the movements, Brit and Zal are open to any and all criticisms, and they're facing it head on with their heads held high. After the credits roll, we go from questioning and discovering what is reality and what is fiction, and where do we take it from there? Since chapter 1, we've been on a journey to uncover what it really means to find your invisible self. Would you say you've found it, or is this just the beginning? There are so many questions and such few answers, but we're so happy that we've found a following that's willing to go on this journey with us. Thank you to the OA community for all the love, support, and interaction you've given and we hope to do more of this in the near future. We hope you enjoyed our season one finale recap and reaction by @patbermcgill @actuallyrichy and our special guest @_kevincarpio_ . Special shoutout to @joshmull for the support and interactions and @davi.cohen for the lovely clip he's allowed us to use. Stay tuned to the latter portion of the episode as we answer the mailbag question and give our thanks to you both!

"To exist is to survive unfair choices." In part 1, chapter 4's The OA "Away", we are given more details as to what's going on during Hap's experiments, OA returns from her second NDE and makes a difficult choice that will steer the group's purpose in a new direction, while Homer is determined to recount the deadly experiments being done to him. According to KPCC's The Frame, in an interview with Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling, Batmanglij explains the incredibly real drowning sequences, "that's a real apparatus that we designed. That's not CG. That's real. So Brit really held her breath." He continues by saying, "I think we watch movies and stories on TV and we think that these things are completely fictions, but they're not. The actors have to really go through a lot of these emotional spaces to experience them." Brit Marling adds, "I think also there's something about this story that felt like, in order to touch the heights and the light that it wanted to touch, you have to go with this young woman who has survived a great deal and touch the very center of the dark with her." We're finally at the halfway point of part 1, and we hope you enjoyed this episode's recap and reaction by @patbertmcgill and @actuallyrichy. Thank you again for listening, and continue to keep your front doors open.

On today's episode I talk to Wes Miles of the indie rock band Ra Ra Riot. Originally from New Jersey, Wes has been playing music for most of his life. Ra Ra Riot formed in January 2006, playing at houses and venues around the Syracuse University campus. After recording a demo, they started to attract attention, eventually getting signed to Barsuk Records, who's released all four of their albums The Rhumb Line, The Orchard, Beta Love, and their latest Need Your Light (all are very worth your time!). On the side, Wes has released an album with former-Vampire Weekend-er Rostam Batmanglij under the name Discovery. It is also awesome!
