I wasn't sure if I was going to do this one until next week, but it is flying around in my head. And it seems to be the thing that my brain wants to talk about. It's been a couple of weeks since I've been able to be on the park bench to record a podcast and I'm not quite in a position where I can do un-benched podcasts spontaneously. Its a little bit of everything this week. Update, Whats Next and some meta-philosophical reflection.
This is episode 30 - Parasocial. This podcast is recorded using Otter.AI which generates a transcript. Its not perfect but if you'd like it to help process the audio here is the link
