This is far from a boring episode! In fact, the subject of boredom is trending in 2020. During the pandemic and through all of our extra time at home, many of us have felt the effects of boredom.

Is it possible that boredom is sometimes good? What are some of the most boring activities, and why? What is the most boring art, and should art be boring? Are you bored at work? And what are the ways of getting rid of boredom that actually work? We'll be drinking the most boring of cocktails, the vodka and soda (don't worry, we're gonna tell you how to doctor it!), and getting drunk on the creative possibilities.
