Episode 44: In Dreams
On this episode, Michael and Jessica start off talking about a thread of tweets by Marcin Wichary, a vacationing designer who stumbled into a technology museum filled with antique typewriters in a Catalonian provincial capital. Reading Wichary’s story was like watching someone else’s dream, and Michael and Jessica share their own dreams about collecting and wonder.
Also, they consider why Wichary, who works for Medium, choose to lay out his story 140 characters at a time — and how Twitter is a platform for lyrical beauty as well as toxic tweet storms.
