The Drop – Part 26 “Surprise Drop”

We sat down to record something short when Branan dropped a spontaneous Drop on Anson.  Television: The Handmaid’s Tale’s 6th & final season. Severance, The Studio, The Rehearsal and Nathan’s Fileder’s hybrid comedy.  Books: Jeff Vandermeer’s latest addition to his Southern Reach Trilogy. Ray Kurzweil’s latest book The Singularity is Nearer sparks a long discussion about the transformational power of AI and is immortality worth it?       Podcasts:  “Short history of…”  and “Cautionary Tales”  Plus, Anson sees his first Metallica show and conforms the rumors: they still rule, especially when they’re channeling Ennio Morricone.  https://youtu.be/d3OMz76mDCM https://youtu.be/d3OMz76mDCM: The Drop – Part 26 “Surprise Drop” [https://thewellpod.com/the-drop-part-26-surprise-drop/]
