No Opt-Out
Conrad Schwellnus & Verena Bryan

2 weeks ago

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.

S03E06: This Does Not Have to Be Perfect
Verena and Conrad question what future tools should *actually* do for us. It’s clear they’re less drawn to sleek features and more interested in how technology might offer real support, particularly in healthcare and transportation. This leads to a pivot into teleportation fantasies, pink garage drama and an appreciation shout-out for typos on handwritten notes (as seen often in their pen pal letters). As the title suggests, this does not have to be perfect.
