Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨
Everyone is in their 'going analogue' era in 2026, so we thought we'd chat about this shift away from the digital world! From analogue hobbies to physical media, the return to a slower paced life is on the rise... but is it just another trend?
As lifelong journalers and creatives, we're so excited to see people embracing a more 'analogue life'! We talk about the discourse on social media, the different analogue hobbies that we enjoy, and what we keep in our versions of an analogue bag!
We also touch on how we can all be mindful of overconsumption, and ways we can make these screen-free hobbies part of our daily lives long-term.
Oh, and a knitting update, of course!! We hope you enjoy joining us for this crafternoon ☕️📚🧶
