ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Why are we always out of time? How does the culture we live in influence our scarcity of time? And what are other ways of viewing how to use it?! Through the experience of applying more effort & yielding poorer results while designing a piece for a runway show, we explore why we live in an age where time behaves paradoxically to how we typically best describe using it.


In this episode we explore: Absolute Time, Subjective Time, Temporal Perspective, Linear / Cyclical Nature of Time and much more.


Theme music by Brooks Hamilton / @brohama
