No Opt-Out
Conrad Schwellnus & Verena Bryan
32 episodes
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.

S03E07: Where Do You Waste Time?
They did what? Verena and Conrad get reflective in the penultimate episode of the season, break the fourth wall by talking about the pod for the first time (!!), and revisit how the show and their friendship have grown. They also talk about dog (and human) SSRIs, visa wins, and the incomparable Kevin the dog. Community has long been a hot topic on the show, but have they built one by accident just by showing up for these calls each week?
