All of my flaws are things that Javi has let go of, and I love him.
Joakim Eriksson, the host of 'This Week in Sparkling Water', takes a breather in episode 123, but not without leaving listeners with some food for thought. Even though there's no official episode this week, Joakim still cracks open a can of tangerine-flavored sparkling water to quench his thirst and shares a reflective monologue that touches on various facets of life and sobriety.
He dives into the significance of silence in podcasting, the impact of alcoholism on memory, and the subtleties of artistic credit and office dynamics. Ever wondered about the character of vinyl records compared to the sterility of CDs? Joakim discusses that too, along with the potential for AI-generated films and the cultural importance of dance and imagination.
He also explores how neurodivergent individuals often gravitate towards Tesla cars, the possibilities of alien life forms, and the simple joys of spending time with friends. This episode showcases Joakim's knack for making complex subjects relatable and engaging, even when he's technically on vacation. So grab your favorite fizzy drink and join Joakim for a thoughtful pause that might just make you see things differently.
