Writing a letter used to mean something. It still does — if we let it. In this reflective and timely conversation, Sarba Sohail and Shane Hewitt explore how the loss of pen-and-paper communication has impacted emotional health, memory, and even basic human connection.

From unreadable cursive to the rise of digital signatures, Sarba unpacks the ripple effects of a world that types instead of writes. She offers a surprising antidote: write yourself a postcard while on vacation. Not for someone else — for future you.

This episode is a gentle challenge to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the intimacy of handwriting — before it disappears entirely.
