Two fast friends explore living in harmony with tech, one transatlantic phone call at a time. With a touch of nostalgia, Conrad and Verena blend the old and new, using analogue forms of communication to highlight how technology can enhance relationships and encourage connection.
The pair also regularly writes handwritten notes to each other, a nod to the pen pal culture of their youth. Join them as they search for harmony with tech in a no opt-out world, providing listeners with a soft place to land as technology weaves its way into more and more facets of modern life.

In this episode, Verena gives Conrad a surprise update: she’s accidentally become a dog mum somehow! A mystery pup showed up in her neighbourhood, so now she’s navigating social media like a pro (well, sort of) to find him a new home if needed. Spoiler: He’s “nutty”. Sorta. Quite literally.
Conrad dives into his recent No Tech Retreat, where boredom lead to poetry and—gasp—fun. They also brainstorm what makes digital communities tick, dream of being digital mayors of the Global North and South, and ask the big question: could a reimagined digital community change the game?
