Your Life, Your Message\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"></iframe>","height":200,"description":"Annie and River have been spending over four years recording their podcast from various locations like their basement, closet, car, bed, and a fort made of chairs and a tye-dye tapestry. Today River is in her self-made fort, while Annie is in the basement playroom. Inspired by other podcasters, we've continued to record, edit and post \"sloppy, dirty, whatever\". In this episode, we offer a few tips on starting a podcast and potentially sharing some ways to get YOUR dream of podcasting up and running. We jump on the bandwagon of discussing AI–and contemplating if a non-human, soulless bot can possess passion or creativity like a living, breathing, soulful human. Is it good, bad or neither? River offers some great advice about taking an adult time out when \"spinning\". Annie mentions ways to set boundaries and pathway towards true friendships by deciding when, where and how you spend your time with people. How we exist in this world is what we leave behind as our message. \"My life is my message.\" / \"Be the change you wish to see in the world.\" -Gandhi"}
