About this podcast
Drained Battery Society podcast is for people who remember life before passwords, QR-code menus and being asked to download an app just to park the car. It's a field guide to modern adulthood for anyone who's accumulated a little wisdom, a few aches and pains, and some gray hair in places we don't mention in polite society...but do here.
Hosted by Peter Conway, each episode examines work, aging, technology, modern life and the thousand small indignities nobody warned us about—along with fake sponsors, questionable advice, Universal Truths, and the occasional recommendation that's actually useful.
