Recorded music used to move through records, radio, stores, studios, and labels. Then DAWs, MP3s, Napster, iTunes, streaming catalogs, recommendation systems, TikTok, and direct-to-fan tools rearranged the whole circuit. Mira and Theo trace how the internet changed who could make music, who could find it, and who got paid when listening became data. Created with NotebookLM.

Dada begins as anti-art in the wreckage of the First World War, but it keeps escaping its own moment. Mira and Theo follow Cabaret Voltaire, Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, readymades, photomontage, Neo-Dada, punk graphics, classroom provocations, and meme culture to ask how absurdity became a durable modern tool for attacking stale systems of meaning.

Genesis is often treated as a beginning, but this episode treats it as an intricate architecture of text, transmission, commentary, translation, and literary design. Mira and Theo move between rabbinic commentary, modern literary analysis, manuscript traditions, chiasmus, and translation debates to ask how the book's structure carries meaning across time.
