The Podcast, Weekly

Hosted by Aidan Wharton

Getting
Close.

“Conversation is a technologywe keep forgetting.”

Aidan Wharton with a podcast microphone, laughing, the cable wrapped around his arms.

We live in an age that has quietly stopped teaching us how to talk to each other. Notifications interrupted the silences. The feed replaced the room. Getting Close is a weekly attempt to put the room back.

One guest. One subject. One unhurried hour of the kind of conversation the algorithm will never reward. Aidan sits down with people who study connection, intimacy, and community, and asks them, plainly, how to do it better.

New episodes drop each week on Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you keep your podcasts.
