About this episode
In this episode the death of a high school friend takes Andrew on a road trip back to his home town. Through reflecting on this trip he visits St. Genevieve and the studio of Ali Cavanaugh, takes a drive through his old stomping grounds, drinks some bad but coincidental coffee, sees some telling Trump signs, reflects on the idiocracy of the current political moment, bemoans the use of crosswalks, the tyranny of phones, and college students held up in their rooms, muses on The Night Watch and the nature of “live”, considering millennial parish trends, the nature of community, and so much more.
