A : [[podcast]]

Featuring : [[Maggie Appleton]] / Henry Zhu

Great discussion on [[gift economies]], [[Free software]].

Cool to learn about "the three types of reciprocity": Generalised, Balanced, and Negative, as related to gift economies.

Appreciated the discussion around embodied knowledge. (a la [[Trust Situated Knowing]]). And a little bit around the way in which metaphor and language frames our culture (a la [[The Patterning Instinct]])

[[Tools for Conviviality]] gets a mention too.

Like the discussion of Patreon as a [[market economy]] dressed up as a [[gift economy]].
