Hello folks! This website is mostly about reading and writing — and I still do a lot of that. Especially reading.

However, a lot of people don’t read much, or only read snippets and articles that are recommended on social media — a place which I find increasingly toxic.

So I’m trying something new. A podcast.

It’s called Future Mending Radio. It’s going to be about better ways of meeting our daily needs. Practices that are more sustainable certainly, but also things that are cheaper and better for our mental and physical health as well. Things like clothing swaps and e-bikes and repair cafes. As the podcast grows and gets more listeners, I hope to build a community around it. Meet-ups at bars or coffee shops or restaurants. Picnics with live music. Maybe something along the lines of the epic ‘Drum and Bass on a Bike’ events that Dom Whiting puts on over in Europe.

You can listen to the trailer — and other episodes once they’re live — over at FutureMending.com.
