Well, what a difference a decade makes! Does it make one wiser? More insightful? More curious about the world? Perhaps. And for all these reasons as well as those that defy reason itself, we decided to relaunch our podcast, Pass/Fail/Incomplete. Join our intrepid omni-curious hosts, Oliver Wasow and Peter Rostovsky as they talk with “experts” from the arts and other passion-driven professions in hopes of finding an answer to some key nagging questions and navigating our seemingly endless dystopia. Tune in. You are sure to profit…intellectually. And it's all free!
