2023-08-0554 minThe Mike Neumann ShowAbstractishEpisode 33: Abstractish
Finally, an episode with some forethought. Probably because Tim and I spend a lot of time thinking this way. We delve into language, metaphors, and paradigms with the goal of characterizing characterization. Ok, I'm freebasing a bit, but Tim and I pulled from our experiences and his study to put some pavement under our feet for future discussions that address how we communicate concepts in a way that is hopefully understandable by other abstract thinkers.

Dessert Before BreakfastMob Psycho 100 (with Emily Neumann)Ahhhh Mob Psycho. The touching tale of a young man in his journey to become less mediocre. That's something we all can relate to right?? (Ok just me then). Thankfully Emily Neumann is here to flex her organizational stage management skills to succinctly take us through this wild ride of an anime! I remember high school being tough, but there weren't quite as many high stakes fights (with well-dressed businessmen anyway!)
