How We Got here

Ever since they met in the early 2000s (whoa), Dan, John-Paul, and Keith have had a shared love of music, design, art, tech, and, well, having opinions. Sometimes these opinions were serious (politics) and sometimes they were ridiculous (cow tipping).

Somewhere along the way, they became adults and drifted apart, geographically and metaphorically. The frankly bonkers events of 2016, though, kicked off days long arguments that eventually became a long running text thread of constant ribbing, trolling, and I told you so.

The Semantics Dept is a podcast hosted by three friends who can never quite accept that they agree most of the time. Not all the time, as listeners will find out if they dare to get to know these ding dongs.
