This Week's Interviewers: Mindy Bond and Raphie Frank

This week, our guest interviewers for the Gothamist Interview are two of the city's more prolific gadflies about town: Our favorite Bond girl, Mindy Bond, and Raphie Frank:

Hailing from the land of presidential hopefuls, Brookline, MA, Mindy Bond blew into the big city in the early nineties. She spent the decade learning about swedish furniture, people's gambling habits and making others forget the Valdez. Then she had a cultural epiphany, thus beginning her ascent into the world of what's happening. A self-proclaimed pop culture junkie, Mindy spends her days feeding her addiction.

Raphie Frank, Senior Producer at swandivedigital, has been known to act upon the stage (badly, but energetically by all accounts), argue passionately in defense of positions he doesn't agree with, and sing original songs on European streets for spare change to buy cabbage and eggs. His motto, shamelessly appropriated from philosopher Daniel Dennett, is: “Never mistake a failure of imagination for an insight into necessity.” Zombies don't scare him and he breaks mirrors just for fun.
