Ep: 61 - Ken Johnson - Do I Like it?
This week Marshall and Sophia speak with writer and art critic Ken Johnson about a life full of looking at art. We covered a ton of interesting topics including the humor in art, the brain as the epic anticipator, consciousness, psychedelics, and of course writing art criticism for the New York Times. Stay tuned to the end for a little mini art critique reaction to some funny paintings we showed Ken.
