Connecting the dots on our surprising lack of connection

I'm joined by Homestand's senior writer Edwin Tubb to go over the recent Local Agitator blog post on the loneliness epidemic. We deep dive and expand on some of the points made in the article and tie it to everyday life.

The loneliness epidemic 

The pride of Brockvegas.

On today’s episode I chat with the pride of Brockvegas, Tommy Moore, who dials in from his under the stairs Harry Potter office. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Today I spoke to my pal Nick Pomponio. We talked about his new dog Rocco - who at 10 weeks old is already ringing the doorbell - we also got into take-out night, and his growing wine collection. I hope you enjoy our conversation.&nbsp;

Today I spoke to my pal Sandro Mancino. We covered a variety of topics including what it’s like teaching online, putting in the miles on the elliptical and burning vinyl to cassette tape. It was a fun and honest conversation and I hope you enjoy it.&nbsp;

Hockey without fans. It’s what Baudrillard called “hyperreality.” An illusion we (kind of) know isn’t real, but (kind of) accept, because we need it. Watching NHL games in empty stadiums with phantom “crowds” cheering; we know there’s no one there but we’re comfortable — even comforted — by the illusion.

With or Without Crowd Noise for the NHL

Just one more quick question.
