1984: dating, taking different things from a book and modern doublethink with Aidan Taco Jones

<p>This episode has me sitting down to discuss George Orwell's 1984 and a whole bunch of other books with comedian Aidan Taco Jones. We talk about the ways we sabotage relationships, the difference in what we both took away from the book plus how some 1984 concepts are amazingly relevant even on the specific day of recording.
