I'm Actorbot (with Janelle Monáe & Sarah Edwards)
About this episode
This week, Ben and Adam welcome actor, musician, and world-builder Janelle Monáe to the podcast to talk about their creative process and how sci-fi influences their work. They share what inspires them to build futuristic worlds like the one in Dirty Computer, why they are drawn to the concept of duality, and how family parties can be a surprising source for material. Then, Ben and Adam sit down with Severance costume designer Sarah Edwards to break down the Lumon dress code and answer some hotline questions.
