Pastchords: Recent Episodes
Saira Manns
Welcome to Pastchords, a podcast where I read postcards from my past and send voicemails to my future, inspired by Dear Data. Each week I track a random topic, then draw and compare the dataviz from back when I was 25 to now that I’m 29.
This week I tracked my swearing - what words I used, around whom, why, and how. Am I more of less of a potty mouth today than I was back in 2017?

I acknowledge this podcast was recorded on the custodial land of the oldest living civilisation in the world. This is a contested space, so I pay my respects to both the Jagera people and the Turrbul people and their Elders, past, present and emerging, for they hold the hopes, dreams, traditions and cultures of Aboriginal Australia.
This week I tracked my indecisiveness - about what, the level of anxiety it caused me, whether I consulted anyone about it, and how long it took me to make my decision.
