WtFritzcast

This week Brådley and Karen take a closer look at banned books and the (political) power of money while we let our body and mind wander through the Montana wilderness. Also, we rescue buried video clips from the digital graveyard into thumb-powered flipbooks, turn Claude into our ultimate morning gatekeeper, and sink into the soothing, velvet elegance of Cleo Sol. Because if billionaire-funded alg...

This week in WtF we turn up the emo-volume to remodel our bedroom, scream our heads off looking for an exit in a dark haunted forest, question why real life is suffering from digital decay, sip free wine from a fountain in Italy, go outside to look at grass and listen to the raw, mod-soul evolution of Paul Weller. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers o...

This week we talk about setting a painless tattoo without going to a studio ⚓️, a High Brow Haunted House where existential dread is complimentary and why happiness has decided to close shop in the West and set sail to the East. We also uncover the apocalyptic warnings buried in a dry financial appendix, hop into a cab that doesn’t have Silicon Valley behind the wheel and finish listen to the swe...

This week, we talk about having some privacy. Naturally, we’re telling everyone about it. We’re hiding from AI in a T-shirt, escaping the internet with rabbits, wondering which Big Brother is actually watching, rereading Orwell, and - because humanity has no boundaries left - mapping our poop. From 1984 to Delta 5’s post punk Mind Your Own Business , privacy has had quite the journey. So close the...

Welcome back to another What Thinks Fritzcast, your bi-weekly passport to the wonderfully unexpected.

From the I’m Back Roll to restaurant Masque , WTF #69 moves between slowing down and sensory overload.

Add the Snipd app and DJ Notoya to the mix, and this edition weaves technology, culture and curiosity into...

In this 68th edition, we champion the return to tactile substance and the luxury of deceleration. We explore bespoke intelligence through Gist Books’ personalized primers, find sensory recalibration in the wood-fired waters of the HotTug , and embrace the ‘quiet movement’ via the notification-free sanctuary of the Silent Book Club . While The Quilters offers a poignant lesson in compassion from be...

In this edition we navigate the fascinating intersection of heritage and high-tech. We begin with the luminous precision of the LUMO optical grill, before seeking refuge in Tokyo’s literary hideaway, Book and Beds . We track the return of vintage habits in a modern world and visit the SPAM Museum to dissect the ‘cubism’ of an immutable icon. Finally, we digitize vinyl crates with the Plastic app a...

In an ocean of unrest, the new What Thinks Fritz is an island of zen🧘. We float towards beautiful things, from Swiss-designed Geneva Time audio to a fairy-tale Belfast home, and sail past the apps that let you TravelReddi like a local.
