Hey Cole, been a listener to Dissect since TPAB, absolutely love your work and the approach you take to understanding themes behind music. I've got two questions:

  1. Given how spiritually rich some of the music you've dug into is (especially Kendrick and Ye), do you feel like dissecting on this deep level has had a significant impact on your own views of spirituality and religion?
  2. You've mentioned frequently your love for Radiohead through tweets and IG stories (as well as even here in your AMA intro), and RH are my favorite band of all time. If you were to do a series on Radiohead, what would that look like? Would you dive into a particular project (OKC, Kid A or AMSP for example), or would you take a more holistic approach to how they've changed the music industry through their whole discography (like two eps covering an album and so on)?

Keep up the good work man, so excited to go through DAMN. Appreciate you.

Thanks for the response man, honoured!

Would love to hear from Femi for sure. I got into Kendrick around the same time as I was reading Theology for my MA, so I feel like the themes and concepts explored in GKMC and TPAB heavily informed what I would read for my degree (social gospel, black theology, etc). Love it when music and theology intersect, and glad you got something out of writing this season especially, can't wait to hear your thoughts.

And you telling me you can't base an episode solely on waking up sucking a lemon?
