Elucidate No. 104 (Truth, Gentrification, The Economy, and a Meditation)

It's been a while since I podcasted. The delay is mainly because every time I'd turn the mic on I'd have something to say about my recently dissolved relationship. I know that many of you want to hear about that, but I can only touch on these things for the moment.
