Tragedy Academy

Detention Episode! ”Exploring New Live Formats and Fun Conversations”

Do your dogs have different voices, or is that just Jay?

Jay and Caroline settle into a Detention conversation that moves from confidence in the gym to confidence in front of a camera. They talk about the stories people tell themselves, the appearance rules they inherit, and how easily adults lose touch with things they once loved.

Then come the cartoons, dog impressions, and a surprisingly committed debate about mayonnaise. The episode also captures an earlier stage of the show's experiments with live broadcasts; the schedules and plans discussed belong to that moment in its history.
