Leap Year Vibes

Spencer Klavan
About this episode

Everything is completely insane, so, in other words, it's business as usual. Everyone seems to feel certain that we're in for a year of madness, and it's hard to disagree. But it's also hard to remember that human life is always madness, playing out against the backdrop of the stars. That's what the calendar itself represents. So on this first episode of the year, I'll talk a bit about the history of leap years and the wisdom I want to seek with you in 2024.
