Hello everyone.
On today's episode, we discuss the launch of our Discord, the problem with going abroad but being ignorant and a large discussion on our perspective of why returning to primitivism can benefit us, as well as be hijacked by those who commodify it.
Enjoy.

Hello everyone and welcome to our Friday podcast pilot episode.
If all goes well then we will continue to make Acid a twice-a-week show rather than the one. And if it doesn't go well, then it was good while it lasted.
Today's episode follows the Kendrick/Drake beef, how to juggle multiple interests, people wearing diapers for concerts and a terrible Bjork hologram.
