Simon Caine presents
BUDDHISM AND CATS
This show is about over thinking life, and trying not to do that... and failing. I’m trying to a better person, but it’s not going very well.
If you got your idea of adulthood from F.r.i.e.n.d.s but reality hasn’t met expectations, if you fail to be in the moment and find yourself living
through your phone, and if you feel connected online and profoundly disconnected from people offline, this is the show for you.
