Browsing vinyl and just came across this Caroline Polachek record, Desire I Want to Turn Into You. If you listened to episode 2 of Empathy at the Apocalypse, you heard @joshseybert.bsky.social & I struggle to remember Caroline’s name. If you didn’t listen, what the hell are you doing with your life?
