What begins as a meeting with beloved friend and comedian Meg Stalter immediately devolves into an episode of depravity and psychosis. Shelby leaves the recording, seemingly out of rage. Caleb exposes himself repeatedly. Meg says the c-word. Producer Mike becomes Producer Michael. Quite simply, it's insanity.

But, aside from all that madness, Meg's Golden Record is angelic in its innocence.

Girls, Season 3, Episode 7 "Beach House" (audio-visual)
Knowledge of Dolly Parton's Existence (audio-visual)
Laughing hysterically at a restaurant with friends (multisensory experience)
The smell of poolside sunscreen and chlorine (multisensory experience)
Realizing you have a crush on someone (multisensory experience)

You guys...wait...This is huge.

Space artist and science journalist Jon Lomberg, co-creator of the original Voyager Golden Record (!!!), joins Caleb and Shelby to talk about his experience putting together humanity's epitaph, which left Earth in 1977.

Jon offers his take on aliens, behind the scene stories, and how to comprehend yourself at the scale of the universe.

Jon's own personal Golden Record is expansive and comprises as many genres of world music as possible, including (but not limited to):

Celtic music
Middle Eastern music
Flamenco
Inuit throat singing
Tibetan chants
Musical Theater
Marching Band
Michael Jackson
Afrojazz
K-pop

With hypothetical new technology since the original records, Jon would also include Earth's favorite molecules for the ETs, like caffeine and THC, as well as the smell of of roses and the taste of mango. Software like Tetris is on the table now, too.
