P.S. Apologies for the weird buzz in the background - K

This week, Kieran and Sarah speculate as to what  future generations will hold against us (that we might not already be aware of frown-worthy). Kieran uses his yet-fictional grandchildren as theoretical judges of his behaviour, and Sarah makes a variety of different expressive noises.

People are talking. There's a new word on the street. Buzzwords are flying and reductionist pundits are reducing. It's a great big discourse and you're just a small voice in a sea of many voices. So how do you do your part? How do you make a difference? Sarah and I talk twitter, constructive language, and crazy alien theories as we try to figure out how to make a meaningful contribution to the discourse.

You bought a new house; you got a new job; you're leaving or starting school. Change is the only constant in life, and yet we often don't expect it. In this episode we speak to the fear the consistantly accompanies major life changes, why we feel it, and how we should face it.

Enjoy!
