008 - The Internet Part Deux
This one’s a few weeks late because Will (6’2) is bad at time management and refuses to change. The main tallpic is following up on the previous conversation about the internet – particularly the way it’s enabled cool guys like Connor (6’4) to engage in nerditry across the world, and how it’s all ultimately a miserable heap of attention-seeking capitalism in the bloodshot eyes of Will. There’s also a touch of hip hollywood insider chat at the open. The TallBoyz are who they are 🤷‍♂️ Pertinent Links: kagi - a better, private search engine

Ep 007 The Internet & You
The internet has existed for the entirety of Connor's (6'4) life. Today he and co-host Will (6'2) talk about growing up in the age of an ever-changing system of tubes, along with rapidly-evolving society that built them.  Will also has some thoughts on the corporate centralization of what could be so much more!

Ep 006 The Spec-tacular Dynamics of Getting a Job feat. Dani
Tall Talk broadens our horizons (and lowers our average elevation) by welcoming our first guest to the podcast: Dani (5'6), of hotgirlnovels fame! Together with Dani, Will (6'2) and Connor (6'4) -- each a synecdoche of sequential screenwriting micro-generations -- talk through the advice each received as a burgeoning art kid, and examine how the differences serve as a rough history of an ever-changing, wholly unpredictable industry.
