Blobcast: Slow Down

In these troubling times of change, strife, and iPhone releases we often forget to take a step back and have just a moment to slow down. This week we are discussing whether that very concept, slowing down, could be the solution to both our own problems and the larger issues that trouble us. Join us as we chat about making our tech last, robots writing poetry, nostalgic ear-worms, as well as trains, planes, and automatons runing wild.

About the Podcast

Indulgently Minimal
This is a podcast that is not about tech
Indulgently Minimal is wondering if there is a better way to navigate our current world of work and play in an environment saturated with advertising, social media, and other nudges to consume.

Join us as we explore these questions; discussing tech, lifestyle, and philosophy; as we search for a balance between buying new toys and indulging in our passions, as well as reducing our wasteful behaviours and removing from our lifestyle the things that don't make us happy or contribute to healthy living.
