18 - J David Osborne
Writer, editor, gym rat, and real-ass homie J. David Osborne joins me in kicking off the new year with a no-fucks-given all-timer of an episode. We discuss language policing and the dangers of making words taboo, how to have a nuanced conversation that actually goes somewhere, spiritual disdain for the rich, having skin in the game, realizing the mortal immortal, remembering Isaac Kirkman, events vs time stamps, real astrology, what "New Year" means, fatherhood, crackhead brain, advice for young artists, "are we cyberpunk yet?," conspiracy corner, book and music recommendations, New Year Tarot readings, and the energy we're bringing into 2021. // Follow JDO's blog at brokenriverbooks.com, subscribe to his and Kris Saknussemm's podcast No Country, and check out his many surreal grime novellas such as Black Gum, A Minor Storm, and By the Time We Leave Here, We'll Be Friends. // Keep up with Kelby and buy his books at kelbylosack.wordpress.com.
