Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
You're listening to Roundtable with myself, He Young.
I'm joined by Yu Shun and Steve Hatherley in the studio.
Coming up, the Internet keeps us connected, but why does it feel like we're still lonely?
We discuss the concept of third places.
And could that help us build more meaningful communities in the digital age and need a boost to crush the weak?
Our special segment, Motivational Monday is your ultimate adrenaline shot to kick off things strong.
Our podcast listeners can find us at RoundtableChina on Apple Podcast.
Got a question that's keeping you curious?
From social issues to tech and everything in between, let us take a stab at it.
Email us@roundtablepodcastq.com Emails are fine, but voice memos are always better because we're a radio show, after all, and it'd be great to hear your voice.
Now let's switch gears.
All right, so we all know home is home, work is work, but have you ever heard of third places?
Think of them as the spots where you can just show up and meet people.
No work, talk, or family drama.
These spots can be coffee shops, parks, libraries.
But we just realized that libraries are supposed to be silent, so perhaps not the best place to chat.
But you can make eye contact and maybe friendship comes from that.
And, oh, community centers.
