We dig into how third places — beyond home and work — shape creative lives, community ties, and everyday joy. From bookstores and gardens to restaurants, retreats, and our own living rooms, we map what makes a space feel safe, human, and alive.

• defining third places in 2026 and why they matter
• analog habits, dry-January resets, and meeting IRL
• bookstores, libraries, gardens, and record stores as daydream zones
• restaurants as cultural anchors and economic engines
• hotel lobbies, social clubs, and the cost of belonging
• building third spaces at home with simple programming
• the role of friction, presence, and shared energy in creativity
• spades tables, game nights, and designing for connection
• questions we ask listeners about missing third places
