Out of Office: Closing Out Summer ’25 with a Brief Pause of Our Own
The news may never sleep, but sometimes the editorial and production team must. Sandals on, inbox closed, the beach in sight, we're practising what we preach: taking a moment to live a little slower.
Even Slow Media Deserves a Slower Week.
Normally at this time on a Wednesday—5pm Tokyo time—you’d be getting the latest Fushigi Times Podcast in your inbox.
This week, though, we’re stepping back, taking a beat. Call it an end-of-summer holiday, a mini-sabbatical, or simply a well-earned pause.
In the meantime, this could be the perfect week to dip back into the podcast archive.
All past episodes of the podcast are free to listen to, free to share, and will remain free forever.
If there’s a friend, colleague, or fellow traveller you think might enjoy listening to this podcast, consider sending a link their way — subscribing costs nothing, the content is free forever, and it helps keep this Slow Media project alive and growing.
The podcast will return next Wednesday, refreshed and back on schedule. Until then, may your week be quieter, slower, and perhaps even a little more fushigi.
