Permanent Filter: Recent Episodes
Gail Cooke and Kara Aimee Maxwell
Definition of ‘filter’: “a program designed to take a stream of input and transform it into a stream of output.”
At Permanent Filter we seek to transform the raw data constantly bombarding all of us…into thought-provoking conversations that begin - and end – with questions worth asking.
Are you a Renaissance person who loves to learn about a myriad of practical, extraordinary, and sometimes unsettling subjects? A curious sort with infinite curiosity?
Then come along with Kara Aimee and Gail on our journey of deep dives into mentally provocative subject matter: Learn along with us as we explore how to improve communications with impossible people, whether the living can speak to the dead, what our decaying buildings say about our societies, what to do about food insecurity, how societal fears are represented in pop culture, and how to enhance your life with criticism (and many, many other topics (TBD/TBA!) )
