Loose Threads 1 Episodes Aug 18, 2026

Loose Threads is a podcast about the questions worth pulling on. Each episode, Chris and Nick work through an idea, an argument, or a question that doesn't have a clean answer. They disagree, push back, concede, and rarely resolve. Conversations are short, honest, and meant to keep going in your head after the episode ends. Topics range from late-night thoughts to founder questions to philosophical disagreements that have outlived their original arguments.

Not the answer you give at dinner. The one underneath it, the one that was decided long befor

Why Are We So Afraid Of Being Boring? Jul 8, 2026 00:07:20 You said "yeah, good" when someone asked about your week. You don't remember the week. You've told four people you watch a show you gave up on after two episodes. There's a trip you've been planning for a year.

If Your Dad Stopped Watching Jun 23, 2026 00:12:56 If you stripped away everything your father ever wanted for you, the standards, the disappointments, the bar he kept moving, would there be anything underneath that you'd still call ambition? Or would you find a quiet person you've never met?Nick is twenty-two and can't answer that question. Chris is forty and thought he could, until Nick caught him bluffing. They talk about the wall s
