Nodes in the Net
by Geoff Gallinger
It’s not robotic small talk; the Nodes in the Net podcast is weekly, wide-ranging, irreverent, tangential “big” talk featuring delightful conversations with Geoff Gallinger, millennial dilettante. It’s spiritual and philosophical; introspective (often) and political (on occasion). Borrowing from Buddhism’s Indra, Geoff and his guests are Nodes in the Net—but so are you—and we’re all aiming to strengthen the fibers connecting us by polishing up each brilliantly reflective node.
