The hostful (with the mostful)
It’s not over-exaggerating to say that the past year has been weird and hard for all of us, for many different reasons. So to kick off the new poggie season, Ben and I decided to sit down and talk through the past few months in our corner of the world, as well as answer some fantastic listener questions.
So that’s exactly what we did. Except that we sat down in our very echoey living room, next to our very loud dogs to do it. Not ideal, but, as it turns out, necessary.
We actually answer a listener question about sustainable dog ownership and offer our experiences with minimising waste and the environmental impact of having dogs in the family, as well as questions about working from home, writing, the upcoming release of Care and how our idea of slow living has evolved over the years.
We also reveal new intro music, and while I’m nervous what the response will be (the old intro music has nearly as many fans as the podcast!) I’m so thrilled to tell you that it’s a song from my favourite band: Shred Kelly!
It’s a good’un friends, and I hope you enjoy it!
