What’s that? Audio? That you can play? In your Inbox? Or the Substack App? This is the first-ever episode of something I’m calling Radio Fixate: an audio companion to everyone’s favourite middling newsletter on pop culture and media consumption! We’re mixing it up a little as Hyperfixate transitions into an every-other-Wednesday newsletter instead of an every Wednesday newsletter. Classic Ari! Dialing it back by doing too much! Anyway, I’ve missed doing podcast-y bits. Hope you enjoy it.

Small promo tidbit: I was on Is Paul Dano OK? last week to talk about Christopher Peditto’s Light and the Sufferer, a film where Paul Dano does euphoria in Josh Safdie’s New York. I had a brilliant time. And no, Paul Dano was not okay in that film. He offered a crackpipe to a CGI sphinx! Thank you to Daryl and Matt for having me on :)

Have a lovely rest of the week! Let me know what you think of this!
