This week on Out of Curiosity with kt mather, I talk with slacker English student Brett Leister about excelling in things you love and doing well enough in things you don’t really give a shit about. He reads from a graduation card I gave him and we discuss how weird it is to see your teacher at a rock show, drinking a beer. We also discuss levers build by electron microscopes, weld science, and then a deep dive into the delightful and tragic story of Formula One phenom, Ayrton Senna (it’s like the crucible, only with a hot Brazilian race car driver, instead of New England ladies accused of trafficking with satan).
