A podcast about slowing down
Turn the volume down.
One calm conversation a week with people who found a quieter way to live and work. No ads in the middle, no music under the voices. Just two people talking.

About
Recorded in a small room with a big window.
Every episode is recorded in one take, at a kitchen table, with nothing cut but the coughs. We started in 2021 because everything else was too loud.
