About this episode

Adam and Keith discuss the decline of language and the trivial triggers of midlife angst.

In this episode, Adam and Keith take a blunt look at the slow death of language, where love now means “I quite like this app update”, and hate means “this mildly inconvenienced me for eight seconds." The chaps also get triggered by... being triggered. About This Podcast Two middle-aged British authors, Adam Eccles and Keith A Pearson, highlight the trivial triggers of midlife angst.
