In this episode, John and Linnea dig into their fears, curiosities, and complicated feelings about technology and the rapidly shifting digital world we’re all trying to live inside of. From flatchulent cows and climate anxiety to AI slop, algorithm fatigue, and the strange emotional weight of social media, the conversation moves between humour, discomfort, and genuine reflection. (Like how can I get more real cats in my reels?) We talk openly about the ways technology both connects and disconnects us, and how easy it is to feel overwhelmed, suspicious, or burnt out by it all.

As always, art weaves its way into the conversation. We invite listeners to make art about their own experiences of navigating this weird technological landscape — the fears, the grief, the fascination, and the hope (if you can find any?)— as a way to process what words sometimes can’t quite hold.

True to form, we also circle back to the importance of real-life connection. We gently (and not-so-gently) encourage people to engage with others IRL, with John making a strong case for shared physical space — including the underrated intimacy of simply existing in the same room temperature — as a key ingredient for meaningful connection.

John opens the episode with the intention that listeners leave feeling a little more hopeful than when they arrived. While we don’t pretend to have answers or solutions, (or even knowledge on most of the things we yap about...) this episode offers curiosity, laughter, and a reminder that even in a hyper-digital world, being human together still matters.
