Episode 19: You Can’t Take It With You

Uncolonized - Episode 19: You Can’t Take It With You This week on Uncolonized, Gavin Stephens talks about losing his stuff in a fire—and not in a metaphorical, "finding yourself" way. Like, literally. Gone. Every DVD, vinyl, collectible—poof. So now I'm living in the future: a full-on subscription-based model for everything I used to own. Yay capitalism. I get into what it means to live in a consumer-based society where we don’t own anything anymore—except debt, anxiety, and maybe a Spotify playlist. I also explore the deeper truth that none of this stuff really goes with us when it’s all said and done. Death: the ultimate unsubscribe. It’s capitalism, it’s comedy, it’s mildly traumatic—but hey, at least it’s ad-free... sort of. 🔗 Support us on Patreon (because podcasts don’t burn): patreon.com/theuncolonized 📸 Follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes stuff (that still exists): instagram.com/uncolonizedpodcast 📚 Join our book club and pretend we’re intellectuals together: fable.co/club/uncolonized-podcast-with-gavin-stephens-493127919001 🎙 Park Bench Ontology — existential comedy for the end of the world. 🔗 Follow & Support: 🌐 Website: http://gavinstephens.ca 🎧 Podcast: https://pod.link/uncolonized 📷 Instagram: @countgavin 🐦 Bluesky: gavinstephens.substack.com 🎵 TikTok: @ParkBenchOntology 📼 YouTube: http://youtube.com/@parkbenchontology Also, Check out the Substack: Dispatch From The Simulation Subscribe and leave a review!
