You’re reading WOODRUFF. I cover the convergence of pop culture, psychology, and astrology. Join my entourage of subscribers—you’ve been missed. My bio is here.
IN THIS EPISODE of the WOODRUFF cast, I take an unorthodox look at the return transit of Saturn through Pisces.
This final ‘reality check’ highlights that we’re in a place that is penumbral, a shadow zone—somewhere that feels unprecedented but is also one of the oldest recurring stories within the rise and fall of empires.
Helping me make sense of the chaos surrounding the recent Charlie Kirk tragedy, I invited culture critic and meme expert back onto the cast. (My first interview with Aidan, from back in February, is here).
Aidan is the author of the How to Do Things With Memes newsletter on Substack. He also has a popular TikTok channel. And his LinkTree is here. Aidan started his writing career with the popular website Know Your Meme. His writing has also appeared on The Daily Beast and on the BBC’s website.
Love,
