How would you define "visual pollution"? In this episode, Rae and Andi tackle the visual blights that affect us all. Where is the line between advertising and art?

Episode 16: Postcards

Most mail is spam, or maybe bills. But postcards! Getting a postcard is a joyful little moment, and then you can keep it on your fridge, or your mantel, or a shoebox, and then every time you look at it you get another little burst of joy. So this month, Rae and Andi talk about postcards and share postcards and generally appreciate all things postcard. Hope we can encourage you to send some to your loved ones! 📫
