Matt & Phil chat on a cross-country check-up this week. Phil opens up about his life as an aspiring PhD, Matt tells us how to travel with a young one, and we debate the merits and demerits of compression socks and tourists. Yup, it got a little silly. Go figure. We do settle down and put on our serious faces to discuss how we, individually and collectively, experience space and time.

We thank Matt Steady for kindly allowing us to play three of his songs:
-
Theory of Ruins (from the new album “Theory of Ruins”)
-
The Roamer (from the album “Blood is Thicker Than Gold”)
-
Time (Original song written by Jeff Black)
