#336: Feeling Untethered?

A sonic scrapbook that celebrates of the magic of strangers

Well, whaddya know?

Our increasingly connected world is inching us closer and closer to a society with weaker social bonds.

What do weaker social bonds get us?

Less empathy, less patience, and less understanding.

They say that the number one thing to feel a sense of well-being in the place that you live is to be able to greet a stranger and have the stranger greet you back.

It’s as simple as that.

Petra Barran

With technology accelerating these trends and dramatically altering our behaviors across every variety of relationship you can think of, we actually have to make an intentional effort to connect with people.

Your well-being could very well depend on it, so when you come around to the idea of learning how to socialize all over again, give Lowlines a listen if you want to gain a new frame of reference.

From the moment you press play, you’re prompted to reflect on your place in the world around you. Petra Barran’s pointedly earnest question “where are you right now?” fuels the premise of Lowlines and is guaranteed to change the aperture of your perception, especially if you find yourself chained to your desk.

So rarely does a podcast that prompts this amount of introspection come along, that you may feel the need to reference more familiar bearings while you listen. This isn’t simply a traveller's diary podcast or a podcast about one woman's transformative journey – it’s the outcome of Barran pouring her entire self into understanding her own meaning in the times and the places that make up life's moments.

Looking for that same lust for life?

Episode one forces you to lust for New Orleans and everything it's made of – from culture to crawfish. One episode is all you'll need to feel the encouraging reminder to take the moments life gives you, get out of your head and plant your feet back on the ground.
