Mystery Topic
Date: February 18th, 6 pm
Location: Mitch's in Kalispell (see email for directions)
We are going to try something a little different for this banter.
We will all listen, together, to a 20 minute podcast segment.
The episode will remain a mystery....no prep work or submissions needed for this one.
The podcast is a story that is quite visual, with a number of different threads to discuss.
So that you know what the gist is, the segment is described as 'bearing witness to something that, maybe, we weren't supposed to'. It has some funny moments, some adult themes, and some sad moments.
It will, likely, bring up different thoughts from each participant. After listening, we will each discuss the primary 'thread' of the story that we were stuck with at the end, and why.
We don't want to 'seed' too many ideas in advance, but possible topics that could come from it are, eavesdropping, passive observation, caring for people we have never met, love, and grief.
Being Valentines month, the thought was to find a 'love' related topic. There is 'love' in this one, but it is nuanced and should make for good conversation.
After going around the circle, we will pick a theme or two and discuss them in more depth.
It should be fun. The last time we listened to a podcast together the topic was laughter, and lots of that ensued.
