Candorland

Candorland is a podcast with three purposes:Demonstrate Candor. Our society (both on social media and in real life) has devalued honesty, integrity, empathy, and facts. Arguing hurts us all, and it has harmed our society as we've drifted into a world where open communication is met with open hostility. Conversation rooted in candor, vulnerability, and humor is valuable to society, so we're doing it here and hope it catches on.Offer Comfort. Candorland aims to give you an entertaining break from all the stuff that worries you. Two people (and occasional guests) share their thoughts and feelings around mostly mundane topics. These thoughts lead to deeper conversations that always come back to the idea that we can disagree and still care about one another. It's ok to be wrong about things you think or believe, and we show that in our fact-checking "F-Bomb" at the end of every episode.Foster Creativity. Art and creativity are fundamental to happiness. Down time recharges our batteries and helps us process information. Candorland is part of Chris and Jason's wellbeing. We won't be breaking our backs to fit algorithms, meet tight deadlines, or engage in a system that extracts our humanity and gives us crumbs in return. We will be engaging in new artistic expressions and creative processes, sharing what we learn along the way.
