a playful and curious design den disguised as a podcast 🎙️

Where we cozy up with devoted change-makers, ask bold questions, and sketch out the essential elements of a new (and better) society - one conversation at a time. With a mix of curiosity, creativity and a spirit of play, we are reimagining the world through stories that inspire action. We are using all our superpowers to explore and amplify the coolest ideas shaping the future we actually want to live in. We decided that building a better future should be as fun as the adventures of Saturday morning cartoons. We are wondering a lot of things…

  • the curious architect

    Always asking why and what if, this cat sees the world as a giant puzzle waiting to be redesigned. She has an obsession for making things work better and a knack for mapping the unseen connections between misfits, ideas, and handy tools. With a playful flick of the tail, she prowls the edges of possibility, questioning, tweaking, and occasionally knocking things off metaphorical shelves just to see how they land.

  • the trickster scribe

    A natural-born storyteller with a sharp wit and a love for the unexpected, this cat thrives in the space between humor and hard truths. She collects voices, weaves narratives, and unearths hidden gems in everyday moments, proving that the best stories often come from the messiest corners of life. Equal parts documentarian and mischievous raconteur, she reminds us that transformation begins with the tales we tell.
