In this episode of From78, I reflect on how place and technology shape the way we experience time and connection. Recording from my office before a day of clinical work, I think about the privilege of listening, the importance of “regular” places where relationships once accumulated, and how those spaces seem increasingly rare.Rather than simply criticizing technology, I explore a more balanced view—drawing on Marc Weidenbaum’s idea of being “digitally cozy”: staying engaged with books,

I talk about how it has been some time since I last produced an episode of this podcast. In the time between when I released the last episode (018) and this one (019), I went back and re-listened to all the episodes I made in season 2. This leads me to reflect on two things. 1. How technology lets me kind of travel in time, by letting me listen to past me. 2. My general liking for audio as a medium.
