Today I want to share an episode from 2023. One I still find myself thinking about. It's with the writer Sheila Liming, about a topic that just keeps getting more relevant. How we've created social structures that make us more lonely, that make hanging out just being around each other harder. And then how we might get better at this lost art of hanging out.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (77 minutes, 14,836 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
