A new weekly podcast from long time friends Rich & Raquel we will creatively explore mainstream and taboo societal issues including love, relationships, philosophy, life expectations and sex from the perspective of two modern, ageing, frustrated humans searching for enlightenment on planet earth.
Our goal is nothing more than to be honest and authentic with ourselves and our listeners, we hope that we can connect the beautiful human shaped dots together.
Part one of our three part series examining the good the bad and the mediocre of our world today. Part 1 "Apocalypse" focuses on our past, present and future perceptions of what this means. We examine history and how this is linked with our personal beliefs and fears, how does this manifest itself in today's world and how will this affect our future.
We are also proud to present Juan Carlos the author of "Los Viajes del Zid” who we had the pleasure of speaking with earlier this week to discuss his views and perceptions on the apocalypse and its influence on his work. Juan Carlos has been kind enough to offer his book as part of our first GIVEAWAY hear podcast for details.

Self - Ish
As a masked carnival hits the town in the Panamanian countryside, we ask ourselves what is it that makes us who we are? Are these celebrations a chance for us to express ourselves or are they an opportunity to pretend, if so, how does this manifest itself in our day to day lives.

HOLA MAJO!

Episode 11 - 20/20 Vision
A naked reflection of the year that was 2020. A year full of excitement, passion, love and positivity.
Join us in reviewing how the year of clarity changed humanity for the better and how we all learned to love and appreciate the natural beauty and energy of the world we live in.
2020 showed us all to make the most of the opportunity we have to make the most of this one in a billion billion million billion chance we have to explore, innovate, share and love, it showed us that everything is possible if humanity comes together as one.
Nothing can stop us, nothing can keep us inside, nothing can close our businesses and stop us working. Not even a virus with flu like symptoms that kills 1 in 37,500 with an average age of death that is higher than the age of deaths from natural causes.
Oh wait............

Jacksie gives a reading of his writing “Unstuck”, which in his own words, “is the most inspiring masterpiece of writing that has ever been created by any sentient being in the entirety of the universe including god itself”.

The incessant pursuit of more. The meaninglessness of god. This weeks film review is Ex Machina.
