Show Notes: S01, E08 - The First Annual Agony Arties

This week, we're reviving our full-length format to bring you a finale packed with more content than any episode before it. Brace yourself for thousands of hours of art recommendations, another impossible game show, and an awards ceremony so self-indulgent that we would have abandoned the whole thing, had it not been so much fun.

Here's all the art we recommended.

Corrections

• Aaron said that Steinbeck: A Life in Letters was edited by Robert "Wallstep", but that was a case of bad handwriting. The real editor is Robert Wallsten. Sorry Robert.
