Jenny and Yelena look at the body physical in the infinite digital room (zoom) that collapses distance and makes everything cinematography. Despite the omnipotent 21st century technology, we remain surprisingly fragile humans, though just from the waist up. The phone as oracle returns (we discuss this regularly) but does not glow with the same comfort as before.

Artist Tanya Brodsky stops by the pod with notes on the Soviet past and weighs in on advertising in the corona era – follow and send contributions to @quarantineads, Tanya's collection of poignant insta ads that encapsulate our drastic, ravenous times.
