Stuff about Things 
That. Was. Epic. Thanks so much for all your work on this episode! After these last two, I’m really struggling with what/how to think about Hirst and his work. I think for the first time I’m left wondering if some of an artist’s projects are even ethical, let alone “good art” (whatever that might mean). Maybe he’d be glad to leave me in such a spot…
