In the Pilot episode of artPost21's flagship podcast: Listening with Artists, Kholeif invites the artist to think back to the Pre-Borat mankini days, when Spandex was still considered fashionable attire for a rock-star to be. Together, they discuss the politics of language, and the learned act of code-switching.
