A genuinely fascinating podcast series - thank you! As a designer by profession, your conversation with Kyle Chayka in particular hit a nerve. I've really noticed a decline in "creativity" in recent years and can only inculpate a circular economy of internet sources as it were! (Read Soho House, the shoppy shop....) I may even write a substack post on this ;)

I’ve listened to all 5 and loved each episode. Afua Hirsch was just amazing, I finished that episode with so many feelings about ageing and beauty. The flattening of taste episode was so interesting too! I’ve noticed this happening when visiting friends in different countries and we all have the same interior decor. 🤯

I only discovered your Substack last year, so was totally new to the podcast too. Have gone back at listened to episode’s from past seasons too in the last week and loved them all too. Alain de Botton was incredible, so was Jessica Defino (she always is!) and loved Stacey Dooley too. I’ve learned so much from each guest. Thank you so much!

I’m excited to listen to the pod as a newbie. I’d also highly recommend 5 minute mum (if you don’t know her already) for phonics and learning games that are easy but very fun 🤩

So happy the podcast is back. I immediately started listening (started at episode 5 & 4).

Loved them both but 5 is stuck in my head. I’m really wondering how much of what I consume is really what I chose vs what the algorithm wants me to… 😬

I think about this all the time!! Sometimes I can even SEE the shift in me not liking something to become quite yearny for it - and it’s all due to exposure/ mindset marketing… fascinating.
