As we discuss in this episode, some of our listeners share the same discontent as we do about being an artist and/or person of faith and feeling like you always have to chase the algorithm. Our technological rat race is unsettling, to say the least, and dehumanizing, to speak more honestly.
Jack hijacks this episode right at the start to talk with us about a solution—and it involves all of us. He turns the whole enterprise on its head and opens up a can of worms that we hope one of which will lure you into this boat with us.
This episode is not about us, but it’s about you, our dear listeners. And the idea will take all of us. You could just skip over this episode, because you assume it’s about another harebrained idea, but then you’d miss the chance to take one mighty turtle step toward rediscovering something we’ve all known (basically) forever: more < 1.
Take a look at the chapter headings below. Our musical interlude for this episode was the song Ruth and Boaz by Jack Baumgartner.
