Two More Gifts from Dessa: music & podcast
Thursday, 3 June 2021 05:39 pmDessa (the Minneapolitan rapper and polymath) keeps making me happy.
Two reasons
Deeply Human Podcast
She hosted a 12-episode 30-minute podcast about core human issues, like lying, death, and pain. Tragically, no transcripts (I complained already).
I learned a lot from the pain episode! Pain happens completely in the brain — and that’s probably why I hurt more when I’m blue.
Dessa is a great host, asking useful and sometimes impertinent questions. (With an expert on lying: so how much do you lie to your kids?)
Monthly New Songs
She’s dropping a new song, with lively lyric videos, on the 15th of each month. Yes, it’s the IDES program!
Talking Business was May’s edition, which Dessa calls a "noir movie with no verbs."
