The Gibson-Reid Summit; Performancelessness 2 Roundtable
Things That Seemed Important At The Time
A real barn burner of an episode as violinist Laura Reid joins Quinn and Mark for a "cast reunion" from the "Performancelessness Chapter 2" video in which all things Education were discussed. Due to the cruel necessity of editing, many things, however, were inevitably left on the table. Thus, a roundtable was assembled to dredge up what was buried, what was lost, what was obscured.
Check out Laura's duo project with Jia Jia Li, "Who Cares" on Bandcamp, their new album "Who Cares Vol. 1" now available!
