Welcome to "In The Stone," (possibly) the first podcast of its kind. In this episode: A lukewarm welcome, USDA certified organic insights, spreadsheet jokes, city-dwelling whales, metaphors, comedy, philosophy..and much more. What on earth am I listening to? A conversation between a Gen Z hermit's Id ("Ruby") and Superego ("Blue John"). I took snippets of old audio diaries I recorded in the past (for no reason), responded to them as if I were talking to another person, and sewed the cacophony together into a somewhat cohesive quilt with questionable audio quality (sorry)!
