<p>In this episode, we are joined by the host with the most, <strong>Trace Crutchfield</strong>. You may remember him from the <a target="_blank" href="https://themodernistsociety.substack.com/p/coronavirus-potluck-the-modernist-society-ep-7-39dfa128f961">Coronavirus Potluck episode of The Modernist Society</a> back in 2020, but you more likely remember him as one of VICE’s most beloved on-camera correspondents in the company’s earliest forays into video (think classic <em>Vice Guide to Travel </em>pieces like<em> Screwed in Houston orBolivian Marching Powder. </em>Yes, he was the guy you saw indulging in purple drank, chewing coca with Evo Morales, and fitting right in at a baile funk in the favelas of Rio.) </p><p>But that was then and this is now, which happens to be the name of the new non-consumerist travel show that Trace is making together with <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/themodernistsociety">The Modernist Society</a>’s own Jason Mojica. <a target="_blank" href="https://thisisnowshow.substack.com"><strong>THIS IS NOW</strong></a> is a show that “drifts through the spectacle, notes the marginal, and refuses to let belief limit surprise.” We talk all about the philosophy behind this <a target="_blank" href="https://thisisnowshow.substack.com/p/a-vow-of-chastity">DOGME 95-inspired</a> approach to the travel show and the upside of low-budget, DIY video production.</p><p>Thanks for reading The Modernist Society!
