It's been said that the internet exposes the genius of the everyday public. This illustrates the aim of this project: to showcase the subtle, original, and life-affirming thoughts and stories of these so-called "normal people." We aim to paint a generally hopeful picture of life with open-ended conversation among more-or-less regular people. We choose to keep our guests anonymous as this is not a program about promoting or elevating individuals to prominence. This is a podcast for and about everyone. I hope you enjoy.

Easy ponder ,

Very enjoyable.

Unpretentious dialogue with a wide range of creative artists. Often points out flaws in norms in order to inspire to find a better path. Good with a beer.
