This week's episode, Connoisseuring Something Awful, explores finding beauty and humor in the unexpected and unappealing. Fawn shares an excerpt from The Art of Noticing and reflects on Timothy "Speed" Levitch’s philosophy of "cruising" through life, savoring even the most mundane or annoying experiences. Matt and Fawn then discuss their own experiences with embracing "awful" things—like watching bad movies for the joy of laughing at them. The conversation dives into reframing negativity, with Fawn recalling her college professor's poetic perspective on crowded spaces and her own tendency to "connoisseur" life's little annoyances. Together, they examine how adopting a playful mindset allows us to handle life’s frustrations with greater grace and humor.
