E007: Minimalism

Minimalism.png

Minimalism has been buzzing for a while - there are websites, blogs, books and now even a documentary about the movement. While many proponents of this movement have taken to the  extreme, we wonder how this looks for the average person who isn’t ready to sell all their possessions and move into a tiny home. We also noticed that this trend seems to be very male-dominated, but we suspect this movement is more than just a trend for hipster, white males. We hear from friends in our WDYT segment as they tell us about their thoughts on minimalism and how they would like to incorporate it into their lives. Then we chat with Leslie’s husband, Court, about how the movement has impacted him and the decisions that he and Leslie have made.
