Description (podcaster-provided):

Most hustlers won’t wait to put off to tomorrow what they can do today. Not us! We can’t wait to put off to tomorrow what we can do today. We’re overripe fruit of the late bloom. Dawdlers. But all things must come to a partial end and this is partially it! ...a whimper into the abyss...
We do a podcast we call The Dawdler's Philosophy. It's just two of us, Harland and Ryan (maybe not making it even if we try). We mostly talk about ideas and science and stuff. We also talk about things. Stuffing!
We try to define the terms we use and, well, we try to be nice to each other.
Expect content. We aren't interested in spectacle or forced passion and drama. But we're also as advertised.

Furthermore, there is an evident penchant for exploring language and meaning, exemplified by discussions on definition, analogy, and interpretation within the context of cognitive processes.
