Being Alone Together: In Conversation with Koko
In this episode, Koko talks about the ups and downs of sharing space and time with your chosen person and she has some advice for you as well!  The quote I couldn’t quite remember was by Ursula K. Le Guin and goes: "Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; re-made all the time, made new." Apologies for the bits where the audio is a bit scratchy, the next episode will be super crisp! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelost-tapes/message

Identity + Poem by Dambudzo Marechera
Thanks for swinging by! In this episode I ponder out loud about the concept of individual identity. I have more questions than when I started out, though. I also read a poem called Identify the Identity Parade by Zimbabwean writer Dambudzo Marechera.
