Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast.

This is the show that looks at the how, the what and the why of living a slower life in a world that is anything but slow.

My name is Brooke McCallory. Thank you very much for joining me.

And my name is Ben McCallory and this is episode 151 for those that like to speak properly.

So a few weeks ago I put a call out on Facebook asking for suggestions on topics and guests specifically for the podcast and I've had so many

wonderful suggestions and I'm trying my hardest to track them all down at the moment

but one of the suggestions that was backed up by quite a few people is the guest in today's

show so Annie Razer Rowland and Adam Grubb wrote a book called The Art of

Frugal Heidenism and I got to sit down, or we got to sit down actually with Annie in Melbourne

a couple of weeks ago. And this was such a wonderful conversation. I haven't stopped thinking

about it since we left the library where we interviewed Annie.

I just, you know, you just meet those people who are filled with this joy, this wonder.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But not only that, it was just, I mean, everything that

Annie said resonated so deeply with me. And I know that you and I on our way home spoke at length

about it. It was a really, it is a really inspiring conversation. And you know, those people that

when you meet them and you come away thinking, oh, they know something that is next level?

Like they are somehow, they've either been here before or they've unlocked some secret or meaning of life.

And that's seriously the reaction that I got walking away from this interview.

Because everything that Annie spoke about, every theme, every example she gave, I was just like, whoa, yes.

That makes a lot of sense.
