There’s Eddie, the exhausted HOA Board President, a stickler for rules and a sucker for his cat. Evan,

Several writers, producers, and artists were asked to take on the concept of an audio tour, but instead of guiding us through a city or a museum, they guide us through our own homes.

A Very Good Question

Exhausting A Place
This month on the 11th, three people spend several hours (sometimes days) just sitting in one place. Watching. Listening. A cemetery in Virginia… a cafe in New York… a plaza in Mexico… It’s inspired by the book An Attempt At Exhausting A Place in Paris, by French author Georges Perec, who wrote that “nothing is happening all the time.” But what’s happening when nothing is happening? Something is h

The Beige Room — Part 2: Whatever Happened to Werner?
Cracks start to show as journalists put pressure on EST and Werner Erhard. The story of his separation from the group in the wake of profound controversy is incredibly telling. It’s a rare look into how a group with a divisive public image was able to rebrand itself in the face of disaster.
The Beige Room — Part 3: The Chicken and the Egg
The ideas and slogans Landmark draws on are seemingly everywhere. Particularly in the modern parlance of corporate America. Company culture — workplace authenticity, personal responsibility, making employees feel “like owners” — it can feel like a way to pass the buck on.

It's The 11th
What happens in this feed? Well, anything could happen really. Here's a taste of what’s to come.
The Inbox: Part 1, Emily
Emily was up for tenure at her university when a student she’d never met accused her of harassment. How does one defend themself when the very act of defense is seen as an attack?
The Inbox: Part 2, Frances
Frances was a Mexican-American, first generation college student, Ph.D. and head of a university department. Then a colleague reported rumors that she was sleeping with students. What do you do when a law designed to protect women from sexual harassment is weaponized against them?
