It’s a messy world out there with a giant chaos agent hell bent on, well, creating chaos and generally effing stuff up. Nonetheless, Gifted Underachievers examines the impact of tariffs and the looming conflict between the US and Canada (WTF?!) and what it may mean for creatives. Pat offers her thoughts on how to navigate. Good stuff.
The Gifted Underachievers also explore the complicated act of creating a life that fits. In particular, Pat offers her thoughts on an essay by Henrik Karlsson, why it has had such an impact on her, and James goes along for the ride.
Before things get too heavy, Pat and James discover that as a stalker, James would be a slacker (sorry narcissists). Pat and James also discuss their life envy of Jenny Slate and her husband Ben Shattuck.
