About this Podcast:

Subscribe for exclusive content and 10% off Biltong at https://www.buzzsprout.com/2429544/subscribe The Sunny Banana, is a play upon the Zulu greeting, Sanibonani, meaning I see you. As tech wrenches us from real life, we are not seeing each other. The Greek word 'idea' means to see. It is as if we have lost the idea of what it means to be human; social, communal, relational. The same word, to see, in Old English is 'seon' which has connotations of understanding. Let's start seeing each other again, listening, respecting, and understanding each other and ourselves. After all, we are people through other people.
