For many people, including Marc, David Byrne has served as a tour guide through a new frontier of creativity.

This episode is sponsored by the new film Ex Machina and by Stamps.com.
Richard Lewis and Greg Proops have been in the garage before, but whenever they stop by for a chat, it makes sense to turn the mics on and roll tape. They always have a lot to say.
