They discuss everything from public transit and fitness trackers to five-star reviews, hidden gems, and whether today's navigation tools are helping us explore—or simply guiding us toward the same destinations as everyone else.

In a world where your phone, TV and even your fridge are always online, what does logging off even mean anymore? Steve Flavin and Kim Horcher unpack the chronically offline trend, the pull of going analog and how to log on with intention.
They unpack why being offline can feel like a luxury, why going analog still has such a strong pull and how small “speed bumps” can help build healthier boundaries online — including Firefox Focus for browsing with less tracking and fewer follow-you-around ads.
