Just dropped a wildly fun episode of Why Am I with Meg Gustafson—aka the mind behind Hammy Whammy. We talked about why the 80s keep coming back, how aesthetics impact our creativity, and why laminate furniture deserves your respect. Plus: nostalgia, DIY rebellion, and yes... we slander Madonna a little.

Give it a listen—if you’ve ever painted a wall just to feel something, this one’s for you.
