In this episode of Kite Flying, hosts Jenny and Mandy explore various themes ranging from their experiences as Gen Xers to the impact of apocalyptic narratives in media. They delve into philosophical questions about the meaning of life, the distinction between fact and perception, and introduce a new term, 'perfactually,' to describe the blend of fact and reality. The conversation also touches on the role of art in society and the evolution of cultural norms, culminating in a light-hearted discussion about their podcasting journey and the creation of new words.
