About this listen

 Hello hello! On today’s show, our lives have never been this… frictionless. Everything is convenient and bespoke; dating apps present us with an endless stream of suitors, streaming platforms curate personalised playlists for any possible mood, ChatGPT can write tricky emails for us so we don’t have to. But what if the most satisfying part of being alive is wading through the friction? What could happen if we never have to be uncomfortable again? Also! The Coldplay affair couple. Lol. Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1). Big thanks to South Australia for making this episode of Shameless possible. Visit Australia’s hidden gem and celebrate the simple pleasures. On today’s show, Mich recommended The Gen Z Stare by Kate Lindsay in Embedded.
