Episode Synopsis

In this episode, The QR Poet and The Cyber Gypsy wander through the ruins of modern discourse, pet a few metaphors, and emerge with something resembling hope.They begin with geese and end with Gandhi, somehow covering fascism, Facebook, Buddhist breathing, Bob Vylan, media theatre, and what it means when a dove won’t move for you on the pavement.This isn’t a manifesto. It’s not even a hot take. It’s a quiet rebellion against certainty, clickbait, and the death of nuance.Breathe. Think. Comment kindly. Maybe stroke a swan.
