What’s your hybrid loner vibe? Are you a cat person or a dog person? Are you an introverted extrovert? Or an extroverted introvert? This episode explores what it might mean to relish in your alone time, that space of solitude so many of us need to recharge our batteries, and go into a very special form of contemplation. To take a page from Frank O’Hara, it can be a dark time, but maybe a richly dark time.
- As usual, intro music for Something Like is provided by Roger 3000
- The music behind my voice in this episode is Enno Velthuys’ Different Places (1987)
