We kick off with an episode about togetherness, and some of the many different
ways to find it. I call my mom and ask her about the Dutch word for the
opposite of lonely. Dylan talks about confraternities, which were basically
the meetup groups of the Renaissance. Wendy talks about how public libraries
are evolving to include maker spaces and “urban living rooms” where people can
learn and make things together. Was socializing simpler for our parents? How
can we make it easier for ourselves?
Guests.
