Episode notes
Has anyone ever said to you 'I don't have the spoons for that'? Did you wonder what they meant? The spoon is a humble tool that is as close to universal as we humans get. Spoons are the weird little bosom buddy that has been by our side long enough to see wild and endless innovation. They are comfort. They are luxury. They are untouchable and they are pocket ready. But beyond the simple function of bringing food to mouth, spoons have become a metaphor for how we live our day to day. Join us as we talk about the spoon theory and the history of spoons.
