When Helena became the hero of a 16-year old desperate kid who'd bought her son's Fortnight account, Dominic playing the evil Easter bunny and Caspian counters Helena's cute story with a crazy Santa-movie.
Then we go down a rabbit hole where the former Swedish chancellor was arrested and locked up for a few days for a #metoo-ish issue, and out collective and individual difficulty of having the sticky, messy and hard conversations. Malmö University had a public spat on a similar topic with a group of sexology students having some serious issues with the teachings and culture of the department. And then there's the issue of the power dynamics on and on social media platforms, and the dumbing down effect of our "modern lifestyle".
About role models and airing dirty laundry in the open or behind closed doors, ending on a fairly serious note, asking if there is a way to help someone start to look within and reflect?

Caspian being dubbed depressive. Not depressed, depressive. Not sure how he's to tackle that one...
Wokeness hitting NYC schools hard, and how we've ended up with a culture where the way the simplest accusation is automatically a conviction with jobs on the line, and how "the in-betweens" (neither For nor Against) are necessary in order to even start to approach the sticky conversations. And attention. Oh, attention - what's happening with that? Anything? Nothing? Everything? And does it influence our ability to read long-form books or not? Jozi Gold, the documentary, and how sometimes, humans don't really think things through before starting something.

We've been working on this podcast for about 8 months without releasing anything. We have had troubles finding our format, some technical issues and so on. Now, we want to talk about the elephant in the room. All of these episodes are fairly unedited and we try to shine some light on the Covid-19 pandemic from as many angles as we can.

Please note that the name of the episode is also when we recorded the episode.

Buddhas by the Roadside is a podcast by Helena Roth, Dominic Venter and Caspian Almerud. All three of us live in Sweden.
