Listen To This | Find Out What Is Actually Happening When You Write
A Podcast Rec for Monday, January 27th
Welcome to Listen to This, a new feature within Welcome Wanderer. Each day, I share a favorite podcast episode or audiobook —something that moved me, challenged me, or simply made life a little brighter.
Podcast of The Day: Six Pixels of Separation | Roland Allen On Notebooks And Thinking | Jan 19 2025 | 1 hr 7 min
Why It Mattered To Me:
I haven’t been keeping up with handwriting in a notebook/journal like I want to and this episode had me scheming how to change that. I’ve also been grieving the loss of pencils and paper in schools. My oldest son (12 years old) was given a laptop on his first day and students are required to do most of their schoolwork on it…I’m not alone in my worries about this phenomenon, and I’m relieved to hear about some promising trends!Press Pause on These Words:
“I think we are going to go back towards a more handwritten paper culture in terms of education certainly. I think that the iPad in the classroom has had its high water mark.”

I hope this note finds you resting with a cup of something delicious in your hands. I’ll be back tomorrow with another recommendation :)
