Show Notes Note: for copyright reasons this episode does not include any audio of 4'33", composed by John Cage - you will need to find your own version to listen alongside this track. Start both at the same time in order to make sure our commentary is appropriately synced to the song. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people.

We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment…
