Your Aleatoric Reality
A show about randomness in all its forms, especially what has been termed ”Random Reality,” the use of randomness in real-life applications, including decisions, leisure activities, creativity, and problem-solving. Your hosts Misha and Damon take you on a literally random journey, exploring many topics and themes through the lens of chance. P.S. ”Aleatoric” is a synonym for ”random.”
