Abstract
Kim Adams and Saronik Bosu share an office at the English department of NYU-and now they also share High Theory a podcast where you can "get high on the substance of theory." Their lovable podcast always identifies a single manageable topic and asks three magic questions (what is your quest? is not one of them). Today that topic is "the pastoral"; in a role reversal, John asks the three questions of Saronik and Kim. Topics covered include the joys of sharing an office, and the irony that podcasts mimic the very social face-to-face intimacy that they actually displace. John admits RtB's informal motto, "After the conference, the bar" is blatantly cribbed from the cry of the Paris '68ers: sous les pave, la plage (under the pavement, the beach).
