A Cup of Java
Hello Friend, I'm John. Join me for A Cup of Java as I try to make sense of the many thoughts sloshing around in my head, from pop culture to art, sports, and personal happenings. This is a diary that's meant to be shared between you and me, so feel free to DM me with your reactions, or email me at acupofjavapodcast@gmail.com
Thanks for listening :)

Hello Friends, it's me again. I'll be doing this pod more like diary entries moving forward, which I hope I can use to connect with you, wherever you are, and however long it's been since we've last talked.
The book I mention in this ep. is Nobuo Suzuki's Wabi-Sabi. Alysa Liu's interviews on Rolling Stone and 60-Minutes (among other wonderful interviews of her) are on YouTube, as are her Olympic performances, including her performances to Laufey's "Promise" and Joji's "Slow Dancing in the Dark". They're simply divine.
DM me with any of your thoughts on this ep., would love to hear from you! :)
