Pondercast explores the thoughts and feelings we often feel but rarely put into words or sound. Host Laurie Brown writes thought-provoking scripts set to ambient scores by Joshua Van Tassel. We dive beneath discomfort, into the mundane, and examine the sky. We explore the unknown within the solace of the present moment. New episodes every three weeks. Pondercast is supported by listeners through Patreon. Www.patreon.com/Pondercast Www.pondercast.ca

Stop, Collaborate & Listen: “You know when you stumble upon someone fab, and your brain goes ‘ooh, collaboration potential’? Perhaps we meet on LinkedIn and then organise a cuppa or intro call. We chat, we laugh, we bond over work joys and woes... and then we part with that cheerful, 'let's collaborate soon' but then… often our busy lives take over. I'm on both sides of this — an instigator of these types of calls and also someone who people reach out to. So, I'm wondering... How can we make these cuppa-time conversations transform into actual collabs? Or should we even bother with these sorts of meetings? It feels like I need to be more strategic about which invites I accept and who I reach out to. The social side of me responds to new folk with a Pavlov-dog response of ‘let's arrange a call’ but I’m increasingly feeling a bit unsatisfied with that approach. Anyone else? How do I get more strategic about these calls without being a nob?” by Doing It For The Kids
