As heard by us
A warm, wandering episode about friendship, care, and the everyday habits that make closeness real.
An Ode to Meanderness lets The Seen and the Unseen loosen its grip at year's end. Amit Varma frames the episode as a type 4 conversation, distinct from the show's policy dives and long oral-history episodes: relaxed, agenda-free, and allowed to wander.
