In episode 8, Mishka and Curt discussed the challenges of living in extreme weather conditions, the ephemerality of creative work, and the importance of legacy in art. They also shared their personal experiences and influences that shaped their artistic expression, including the impact of music and their tumultuous journeys from troubled childhoods to "successful" careers. Lastly, they reflected on their personal relationships, the concept of marriage, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, with plans (hopes?) to stay in touch and reconnect in the future.

She can come across in her performances as angry, brash, and insulting to some, but we found her to be wonderfully intelligent, open, and generous with her time. In this episode we touch on where Lydia came from - nature versus nurture - some of her many experiences, where she is today and where she is focused next.
