Deep dives
Acknowledgment of Traditional Owners
The discussion begins with a recognition of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of the land where the podcast is recorded. This acknowledgment serves to honor the Indigenous culture and history of the area, reinforcing the importance of respecting the world’s oldest living culture. The hosts express pride in sharing stories that pay homage to this rich storytelling tradition. This moment highlights the podcast's commitment to cultural awareness and sensitivity.
The Ghostly Experience
A significant portion of the conversation revolves around one host's unsettling experiences with what he believes to be a ghost in his home. After feeling a hand on his chest in the middle of the night and later being questioned about odd occurrences by his daughter, he seeks help from a shamanic healer. The healer indicates the need for a personal visit to the home to communicate with the spirit, suggesting that it doesn't want to leave. This narrative not only captures the listener’s attention but also reflects on deeper themes of fear, belief, and the unknown.
Introduction of Patreon and New Content
The hosts introduce their new initiative to create additional content through a Patreon subscription, aimed at fostering a stronger community with their audience. This subscription model will provide listeners with exclusive episodes and access to more personal discussions among the hosts. It is emphasized that this initiative will enhance the existing content without removing anything that’s currently available for free. The new show, called 'A Little More Imperfects,' promises intimate updates and discussions, allowing fans to engage more deeply with the creators and their journey.
