Indulgently Minimal

Do you ever come home after a long day at work and want to play that game, knit that scarf, or write that novel, but are so tired you feel like you can't? Ever feel guilty about that? You're not the only one. Join us this week as we discuss these feelings and our strategies for finding and saving energy to spend it on ourselves and our passions. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulge...

Continuing our discussion on rest and relaxation, this week we take a look at why we, sometimes desperately, need to take a breaks. Whether it's just a change of scenery or to avoid burning out, a holiday is often far more than an annual routine to fulfil, but an important part of how we rejuvenate. Join us as we discuss this and more. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminima...

On this week's blobcast we discuss the siren call of summer, the call to adventure. Whether it's relaxing on a beach, diving to the squidly depths, or wandering into the wilderness, it's important to find time for ourselves, so join us as we relax and chat about how we plan for the holidays. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:&nbsp...

How did it come to this? How did Moggy switch sides and end up an Apple guy'? Join us this week as we discuss what it is about Apple and their ecosystem that appeals to each of us, what made us switch, and how can any Apple product be minimal anyway? www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

Apple's yearly developers conference is almost upon us and in keeping with the fact that this is a podcast that is not about tech we thought we would dedicate an episode to some wild speculation. Join us for discussions on the rumours, the tech, and the chinchillas we are all waiting for.

To preorder or to not preorder, the question seems to remain in spite of concerted efforts to convince us to avoid preordering, and stop supporting half-finished, broken products; and yet we still do it. Join us this week as we discuss preorders, the new Legend of Zelda game, and if there is any nuance to be found in this debate. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twit...

This week we spend our relaxed episode taking a look at what we have covered so far, take some time to stop and appreciate the little joys like a good meal, a feature well implemented, or the fact that Moggy's dog has flappy ears. Join us as we discuss what we've learned and what we hope to learn with the podcast. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indu...

Back with another episode re-looking at an episode from the start of the show, we ask the question, 'Did Murdoch ever buy that TV?' Join us as we discuss the process vs procrastination, new and upcoming TV tech, and if there is really a best time to take the plunge. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail...

It’s been twenty episodes since we first asked the question when we should replace our phone, so this week we take another look at the question asking ourselves what we’ve learned so far. Can we resist the temptation of the new shiny or is indulgence an inevitability? www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gma...

Back from our short break, this week we cleanse the palate from our previous series with a conversation on our thoughts about food and travel. How do we approach trying new things in new places? How do we break out of our comfort zones and avoid missing out on the best a new location has to offer? Join us as we ask all the important questions, like Ice Cream or Gelato…?

Moving on from Hobbies, this week we’re talking hobbies of old & nostalgia today. This is some real old man corner going on here; so join us as we talk about everything from Final Fantasy to the Violent Femmes, and how nostalgia can be a major drive for us even if we never even experienced the thing in the first place… www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:&nb...

This week we finish our look at hobbies with the question: why do we need hobbies in our life? Join us as we discuss how we find balance and make time in our lives for the things that we are passionate about and that help raise our energy levels rather than deplete them. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@...

This week we spend time talking about how we spend time. Digital or Dice? Solo or LFG? We often have limited free time and how we choose to spend it, and with who, is all on the table. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

This week we teeter on the edge of the various rabbit holes we can easily fall down when getting into new hobbies or collections. Join us as we discuss how we approach a new interest without over investing or diving in ‘wallet first’. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

In this week’s blobcast we discuss the tendency we can have to obsess over a game, and decide to try and completely max-out a game; whether that is achievement hunting, an in-game completion counter, or just for our own satisfaction. Do you prefer a structured game with clear objective, or would you rather make your own fun? Join us as we discuss this and more. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram...

This week we discuss how we fit our devices into our lives, in this case literally! We discuss the size, shape, and even weight of some of our devices, how we carry them and if we take them everywhere, and how this impacts our decisions to buy and use them. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

This week we discuss what we do when we realise we may no longer want what we once did, the hidden threat of wishlists, and how we reconcile the person holding the credit card with who they used to be. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram: @indulgentlyminimal Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

This week we try to figure out what makes a space cozy and reflect on how a comfortable space makes for a happy place.

This week we discuss the age old question, to smartwatch or not to smartwatch. Do we need one and even if we don’t, why do we still want one? Watch this space… www.indulgentlyminimal.com Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

This week we skew heavily towards indulgence as we discuss comfort foods and how important these kinds of indulgences are to our mental wellbeing. Strong flavours and strong opinions come out as we talk about some of our favourites. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

This week we discuss the grieving process for the tech we lose, as well as the opportunities we may have missed out on. A device long loved, a mistake that cost us dearly, and the introduction of the FrankenPhone, how do we act on and process these kinds of loss? www.indulgentlyminimal.com Twitter:  @indulgentlymini Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

In this week’s blobcast we talk about our favourite furry companions; how we go about fitting them into our lives, and some of the fun tech there is available for pets. Note: The quote comes from Jean Cocteau, for those wondering. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Twitter: @indulgentlymini Email: indulgentlyminimal@gmail.com

This week we continue the conversation from the previous episode, talking about the software we have to use in the workplace. With instant messaging becoming a common part of many of our workplaces we ask the age old question: to meme or not to meme?

This week we discuss how we don’t always have a choice to use the tech we want or love, especially in the workplace. How do we navigate and balance our personal desires with our professional needs? And was the true treasure the IT friends we made along the way…

This week, we discuss how we go about finding the right gifts, and how sometimes we have to remind ourselves of what other people care about and enjoy in a gift.
