Introduction to This Microcast
This isn’t an episode! It’s my introduction to the microcast - the reason I started this: to focus our time with others by introducing a topic to spark conversation and connection with each other - or even just with ourselves. These are short, simple - sometimes fun, sometimes more serious - provocations to get us thinking and talking. I was inspired to do this by a series of soirées I held - by watching what happened to a room of people if I introduced a topic and provoked people with a question.
In each episode I talk briefly about the topic - share a personal thought or opinion on it - and then pose a question for discussion. It only takes 2.30-5 mins to listen - and then it’s over to you!
If you enjoy these first topics, let me know by liking, subscribing and sharing - and if there’s an interest, I’ll add an episode every week. Thanks!
