Every expedition needs a crew manifest. Who is on this couch? (One name is fine. So is “me and the cat.”)
Choose your mission. You can change course anytime with the filters.
The Theorist’s Oath. Repeat after us:
“I will ask who is telling the story.
I will ask what they get out of it.
And if the mothership ever does arrive — I will feed my fellow humans.”
Oath accepted. Your guide waits in the corner. Earn the six badges. Win bingo. Argue at every credits roll. And question everything — especially us.

The Debrief
293 episodes, one lesson the show never says aloud: every story has an author with an angle. That’s what I make media about — power, narrative, who benefits. If the couch talks were your favorite part, you’ll feel at home.
