So why it so hard to just stop looking at it so much? Because nature abhors a vacuum – you have to fill that screen-hole with something else. In this ep we talk about how putting pen to paper can be…

No, this ep isn’t about whether our body-image is healthy enough to run around naked on the field during a football game.
