Just Listen To Yourself

On today's episode we look back and give thanks for the first season of JLTY. We also talk about racial humor. It was a great season 1 and can't wait to talk to you all in the new year. We love ya, and don't forget to keep listening to yourself.

This week we look at the Atlantic's article on Mona Lisa's smile and how that relates to our BIG ANNOUNCEMENT for the show.

Van Gogh changed the world with his painting Starry Night. This week we look at letters between Van Gogh and his brother from that time period to speculate on the thoughts of the artist.

Nolan tells firsthand accounts of creepdom from members of the ComeUp. From cutesy guy, to dirty old men, to the White Knight, we hear it all from our JLTY Girls.

Just listen to yourself, is there any part of you that may be on the verge of creepdom? Today Nolan uses King Creep, Harvey Weinstein, as a medium to discuss and highlight subtle traits of creeps and what to do about them whether you're the creep or the one getting creeped on. Make sure and email the JLTY team with creep stories for Vol. II!

Nolan gets interviewed on his own podcast by the one and only Hugh Bettiment. They talk about the importance of alone time and being at peace in your own headspace.

The universe is always trying to say something to you. It's up to you how you hear it. This week our show intersects with Amy Sherman-Palladino once again causing us to look into Squire Rushnell's theories about "Godwinks."

This week, listen to Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino speak on never saying no and seeing your ideas through from start to finish. I'm not a Gilmore Guy, I'm a GG OG.

Nolan is cranky after going to the Father John Misty concert but decides that his unrealistic expectations and lack of perspective are what have made him feel that way. Josh Tillman himself helps us get over ourselves.

We almost lost our studio above the barbershop because certain people have yet to adopt the "Do It Now" rule. This week we hear Josh Zerkel, one of the "heads" of Evernote, on the importance of doing it now.

For a much needed laugh this week, Nolan goes in-depth about his favorite character, Duncan Donovan. We later look to Keegan-Michael Key for his opinion on creating characters. Lastly, we talk to Sara Ornelas about her current role as Frida Kahlo in the production of "Ribbon About a Bomb."

We will return next week with a regularly scheduled program but it just felt wrong to do a normal show this week.

In one of our goofiest episodes yet, we're headed back to the classroom to hear what Buzzfeed and Noam Chomsky think about the American educational system. We then listen to music from the Austin group, Smiile. You can hear their full album at www.smiilemusic.com. Class clownage - commence.

"I'm a man, I'm 40." We listen to Mike Gundy's famous rant arguing that it was the spark plug which revitalized Oklahoma State's football program. We also sit down with Melanie Notinger in our first ever JLTY interview to discuss her upcoming film, "Choke Artist." This episode is not "garbage," I promise.

JLTY is officially a New York podcast! Nolan settles in "Above the Barbershop" to profile Humans of New York creator, Brandon Stanton. We also jam music from LAM during our local listening segment. Fuhgeddaboutit.

This week on the show we read and listen to interviews with the late mathematician, Maryam Mirzakhani. Afterwards, Austin rapper Junior Flexwell showcases his newest single "FFSW" in our local artist feature. The new era begins.

Nolan is moving in a new direction with the podcast after receiving backing from senior members of the Come-Up. A great episode for new listeners but an important show for all. Prepare for the new era.

Nolan is back from the woods with new perspectives and a final decision on the future of JLTY. Before embarking on that journey we pay reparations to a select number of shows and hosts which were heavily criticized in the past after hearing from one of the hosts themselves.

I'm headed out into the wilderness and I don't have time to record a full podcast this week. In preparation for my absence, I'm recommending 5 shows in 10 minutes. Enjoy!

"The Heart," created by Kaitlin Prest, is an audio art exploration of humanity and intimacy. On this episode we review "The Heart" and Nolan attempts to be an intimate human.
