{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"This Online Life","slug":"thisonlinelife","podcastDescription":"

Technology should make life better. Hosted by Luma, the This Online Life podcast explores what it means to live well in a world that’s always online. It’s not about quitting tech or chasing hacks—it’s about asking better questions. What kind of life am I trying to build? What tools help me stay close to it? What patterns am I stuck in without realizing?

Each episode weaves real stories, reflections, and imagined conversations to explore how digital habits, tools, and systems affect our time, energy, emotions, and attention. From burnout and productivity guilt to creative flow and quiet joy, we talk about the real stuff—the beautiful and the hard—of trying to live and create with more care and clarity in a connected world. This isn’t a show about tech. It’s a show about life (and our projects), with tech woven through every part of it.

We can be sitting right next to the people we love, yet feel miles apart. Why? This episode explores the 'information silos' created by our screens, and how they shape the very ground we stand on—and what we can do to find our way back to each other.
