For our second episode, host Eric Huffman sat down with world-renowned street artist Mr. D (aka Sebastien Boileau).

As an artist, however, he's constantly drawn to pursue transcendence and beauty. This tension between spirituality and cynicism is what makes his art so powerful, and it led Eric to wonder, "Can an artist like Sebastien really be an atheist?"
