Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast. This is the podcast all about slow living in a fast-paced world.

My name is Brooke McCallory. And my name is Ben McCallory. Welcome to episode 257.

We are on the last week of our slow experiment. We are. End of September. Yeah.

Unbelievable.

And coinciding with the end of September is the end of the American book tour.

It is.

So by the time this episode has gone out, we will be finished with the events across the States.

Since the 20th of June?

We've been on the road,

traveling and meeting people and speaking

and having probably one of the most fascinating experiences

of our lives, really.

Yeah.

Yeah, most bizarre and hardest and most, I don't know, bucket-filling experience of my life.

Yeah, right.

That's a nice way to hear you describe it.

But we don't want to really go too much into talking about that because we do have a hostful coming up later in October.

We do. So the plan is, actually, as we, as you're listening to this, if you're listening to it when it comes out, we have taken a couple of weeks off, completely offline, like literally completely offline.

No socials, no email, no nothing.

Which is an experiment in itself.

Two weeks, yeah.

We would have never have done this before.
