About the show

Indulgently Minimal is wondering if there is a better way to navigate our current world of work and play in an environment saturated with advertising, social media, and other nudges to consume. Join us as we explore these questions; discussing tech, lifestyle, and philosophy; as we search for a balance between buying new toys and indulging in our passions, as well as reducing our wasteful behaviours and removing from our lifestyle the things that don't make us happy or contribute to healthy living.
