The Hobbyist

The Bender Continues

Ever wondered how your passion for Uno or your Saturday morning birdwatching excursion might be more than just a way to pass the time? Kenny and I sure have, and we're taking you through the intriguing labyrinth of hobbies and free time in our latest audio adventure. We chat about everything from the bonding power of binge-watching reality TV with your spouse to the age-old query: Is working out really a hobby or just a necessary evil cloaked in sweat-wicking fabric?
Picture this: you're clutching a shopping basket in Hobby Lobby, surrounded by a treasure trove of crafts, but did you ever consider that your shopping spree might just be your hobby? That's the sort of revelation we stumbled upon in this episode, along with the therapeutic effects of hobbies that range from cooking up a storm to dodging paintballs. We're sharing personal tales of hobbies that stuck, ones that fizzled out, and how these pastimes shape our social lives, grow our skills, and sometimes, amusingly enough, burn a hole in our pockets.
Strap on your headphones and prepare for a rib-tickling dissection of what can be considered a hobby in our digital age. Can trolling online be a pastime? What about the simple act of snoozing? We're tossing these questions around, throwing in our two cents on guilty pleasures and the unexpected joy they bring into our bustling lives. It's all about the little things, like sneaking cookies or getting hooked on bushcraft videos, so tune in for a good laugh and maybe even an 'aha' moment about your own leisure pursuits.
