Join hosts Marco Timpano and Amanda Barker for a calm, meandering conversation about home intercoms, dumbwaiters, and the things houses used to have that have quietly disappeared. Settle in, relax, and let the conversation wander wherever it happens to go.</p><p>Remember when some homes had intercoms on the wall, or a dumbwaiter tucked between floors? Marco and Amanda take a nostalgic stroll through the household features that were once part of everyday life and aren’t really around much anymore. Along the way, Marco remembers the time he was chosen to be “the messenger” for his teacher, and Amanda makes a confession: she once read her sister’s diary. That leads to the story of what happened at her sister’s school dance. It’s an episode that doesn’t go anywhere in particular, but it’s a lot of fun not getting there.</p><p>What We Talk About</p><ul><li>Intercoms in homes</li><li>Dumbwaiters</li><li>Household features that have mostly disappeared</li><li>Marco’s school days as “the messenger” for his teacher</li><li>Amanda reading her sister’s diary</li><li>What happened at her sister’s school dance</li></ul><p>If you enjoy spending time with us, follow or subscribe to The Insomnia Project on your favourite podcast app so you never miss an episode.
