An interview with Tristan Welch featuring poems by Debasery

Tristan and Alex examine how work and creativity shape our lives, from time spent at a feel-goodery factory to the experience of arranging your own mother's funeral. They ask whether wealthy and poor people face the same struggles and why healthcare remains tied to a 40-hour workweek. The episode includes two recorded poems by Debasery (A Friend of Yours Has Other Friends and Luxury Lobotomy), a story from Alex about anarchy in action, and reflections on how nostalgia, free time, and past employers influence what drives us to keep going, make art, or step away. We sample Tristan's track Economic Fear from the album Ambient Distress, you can hear the full version on Bandcamp. All transition music is by Fat Kneel, also on Bandcamp and used with permission.
