Listened to Joshua and TK on the Clutterbug podcast. Just started listening and this is such great brain-food. Thank you!

I began listening to this podcast quite a while ago. I always find value and insight in these episodes. if you don't know who the hosts are, you may want to watch the documentary Minimalism first. It will give context. But if you are searching for a way to cope with life's pressures and the rest race/keeping up with the Joneses isn't working for you, give this podcast a listen.

Great Podcast for Those Seeking

I've been a long time listener. I'm not necessarily a minimalist, but the advice and thought discussions are intriguing and make me think how can I apply some principles of Minimalism in portions of my life.

Very thoughtful ideas

I listened to their most recent episode on politics and I'm just sickened by their privilege and purposeful blindness. They encourage voting third party, not voting, and disentangling from politics.

They are seriously pushing hard the idea that "both sides are the same," that politics doesn't matter, and completely ignore the fact that a million people died from a poor, unscientific COVID response.

Trump has just won a second term, and the fact that the Minimalist think that politics is something you can just opt out of absolutely reeks of privilege.

Please tell Nevaeh Crain, Amber Thurman, Josseli Barnica, and countless others who have died preventable deaths caused by the GOP that politics does not matter.

They say next they'll be talking about "the downsides of democracy" and I honestly have no words.

Sickened by the privilege
