In advance of tomorrow's episode with Chris Landon, we want to highlight a podcast that recent guest Nova Stanley mentioned, The Magnus Archives. It's recently concluded after 191 episodes of following Jonathan Sims, the newly-appointed head archivist of the fictional Magnus Institute — a London research center on the paranormal. In Nova's words from his episode, it's got that "good ol' British library feeling".

Listen to the first episode below:

Nova Stanley singing Hoagy Carmichael/Frank Loesser’s “Heart and Soul"

We talked around music in our episode with Nova Stanley but never talked about it directly so today we're featuring a Banana Republic commercial from last year with his version of Hoagy Carmichael/Frank Loesser’s “Heart and Soul”. Granted, it’s a promotional piece but we think it sounds like an outside fire feels on a chilly night.

Our guest this week, Nova Stanley, wanted to highlight the work that The Okra Project does to bring “home cooked, healthy, and culturally specific meals and resources to Black Trans People wherever” they can reach them.

Below is Tiffany Alfonseca's “I Hope My Blackness Offends You” (2020) whose proceeds went to project.

It's Tuesday and today we have Nova Stanley on the show. He's a 17 year old from Brooklyn studying and working to be an illustrator. Among other things, we talk about what remote school looks like at his fine arts high school and being trans masculine in today's world. And this week, we don't just have the official show art but Nova also drew something for his own channels. Such fun, thank you!
