Summary

An episode that was originally to be called Humans Optional, takes on a sinister ending. Halfway to Maybe is a daily podcast featuring short thoughts about life, creativity, and how ordinary days unfold. Each episode is a single spoken piece, shaped by years spent watching people and moments through a camera, sometimes about the art of photography, and sometimes the act of life.
