The Deep Dive: The Minimalists
Joshua and Ryan are kind of the OGs of minimalism podcasts. Their podcast has been going for over five years, and they’ve covered pretty much every topic under the sun – always from a very thoughtful and philosophical perspective. They practice what they preach, too. Despite their success, their minimalist podcast remains ad-free.
Their focus is, naturally enough, sustainability and minimalism. However, they use this as a jumping-off point to discuss deeply human, fundamental concepts as varied as relationships, creativity, and health. It’s not all hard work though. Their great ‘quickies’, only 5 or 6 minutes long, are a fun and accessible way to get started!
