Show Notes: S02, E04 - Why Hollywood Loves Rats
We recorded this entire episode in our sleep, and when we woke up, we were so impressed with what we heard that we just had to release it. Don't worry - we've cut the 40 minutes of snoring that followed the episode on the original recording.
Here's all the art we recommended.
(Art we only mentioned in passing, and never intended as a problem-solving recommendation, is in italics.)
Underlined items are this week's top picks from each of our presenters. If you're only going to try one of the pieces of art we mentioned, try these ones first.
