Sometimes it feels like all there is to do and think about is work. In Canada, our lives and identities are so tied up in our jobs that I can't help but wonder, "who are you outside of capitalism?" This episode talks about capitalism, intuition and desire. It also pulls on themes from my first zine "Oh to be A Cow Resting in the Green" where I talk about how shitty it feels to be beholden to capitalism and how to imagine a more fulfilling life. P.S. You can watch Sam Jones' "Off Camera" interview with Brit Marling here ..read more

And since people are scared, tired and ready to get back to real life – they’re giving in, and gi ..read more

Living alone together describes the state of living within a community of people who are bonded more by their geographic proximity, rather than their social ties. It’s the feeling of recognizing your neighbours, but not really knowing who they are. It’s the curious sense of feeling lonely in a crowded room. It’s feeling alone – together. This podcast explores feelings of isolation in modern society and how they may stem from a combination of cultural and personal sources. Who we are is, in many ways, inseparable from the cultural context within which we exist, however, we possess the agency to ..read more
