2022-11-28 13:25:41 +0000 UTCA really strong episode from beginning to end. The highlight of Rieko Kodama and her staggering influence, creativity and legacy was such a powerful segment. Especially enjoyed the individual messages expressing how much her impact meant. A beautiful memorial for such an incredible person. Gita was so much fun to have back on the episode and brings such a fun energy. Gita and Tim being so enthusiastic during the recommendations was a blast. The dirt bag conversation inspired by Kiko's question was so good! I have a tendency to force myself through what I start, and this conversation was satisfying to hear examined more closely.
