Welcome to the Avocado Proust podcast with Jeeves & Lumes! Every week we'll talk about what's been happening in our worlds, from tech and science to TV and culture.
The name Avocado Proust speaks to our varied interests. We love basic activities like eating avocado toast at brunch, but also enjoy discussions of literature and philosophy. This podcast is basically bringing you into our group chat as we try and figure out this thing called life.
