Odd stuff all around this week. Juan actually worked, I exposed my sock fetish and weird photos from space.

In Episode #317 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: why we enjoy manual labour but only in small doses, trying to explain BTC to my dad, how I met and lost a kindred soul, why Dothraki was copyrighted and Luis von Ahn couldn't use it for DuoLingo, Juan's fascination with physics/outer space and how you can help to support us with value for value.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
