  • Zenwalking for the brain.

    Really enjoy their perspectives. Went through four episodes in one sitting. Relatable, curious, and lively topics of the intentional yet unintentional role art and design plays in our everyday. Naturally makes you think about what you personally see and observe and why these things or experiences might be of importance to you too. It’s also filled with understated humour—so fun and funny.
