The Paris Review Podcast
An audio magazine, quite literally.Available on all platforms.Listen here.
I dont necessarily share the ferocity of the sentiment, but I can see where theyre coming from.
The Paris Review Podcastis quite literally an audio magazine.
They tend to favor a drifting, dreamlike aesthetic that recallsearlyLove + Radiostuff, which feels appropriate.
Both projects share a certain high-mindedness.
Its my preferred form of time travel.
This is an extremely niche rec, but whatever.
I also seem to have the worst timing possible.
At least I have about 150 more episodes to get through.
And thats a wrap for1.5x Speed!
Hope you enjoyed it.
