Where do we find strength? How do we take care of ourselves when everything feels hopeless? How do we deal with feeling a lot, or nothing at all? How do we deal with feeling overwhelmed? What are our rituals to tune out the world? Also: relationships, found family, and change.
Society, tech, culture
Things of Interest is a podcast that encompasses, in its purest form, things that we find interesting. Our discussions often center around technological advancements and how they affect social issues. As two socially-conscious millennial nerds, who better placed to talk about artificial intelligence, leadership, bitcoin, modern dating, gene editing, and fandom? Probably no-one.
We’re both from New Zealand so have beautiful accents that you can put in your ears. Episodes are roughly an hour long, and come out when they come out.
Things of Interest is a non-commercial podcast. We run no ads, make no money and are beholden to nobody. 🤘
