Compost of Ideas – The Podcast from the Bin
Compost of Ideas – The Podcast from the Bin is a short-form audio space where fragments of thought are thrown in, left to ferment, and maybe — someday — bloom. Each week, Samara shares a scrap: a question, a quote, a story, a sound. These episodes don’t explain or resolve. They invite. They decompose. Because sometimes, the best ideas start as leftovers. Audio only — some things grow better in the dark. Thanks to Artemis Samothrakis for the support on the sounds and music.
