Discussion : Lucas Brown : Creating Living Worlds : Part 2 Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

Today in the Watchtower we welcome Lucas Brown for Part 2 of his discussion. Lucas is the mind, and mixologist, behind the pop-culture podcast, The Math of You. On the Math of You, Lucas invites guest onto the show to discuss the formative media of their youth. Aside from being a podcast filled with nostalgia, it is also fascinatingly insightful. We live in time of human history where media of all kinds informs our lives, personalities, and identities. The Math of You treats that reality with both joy and respect. There's also personal drink recipes. Mine's called the Red Tornado.
