You’ve probably noticed that common hobbies from sewing to skiing have gotten more expensive. It’s a dynamic that Atlantic staff writer Tyler Austin Harper calls “hobby inflation.” And it not only affects your pocketbook but also means fewer opportunities for personal fulfillment and community building. We talk to Harper about what we lose when we can no longer afford our hobbies.

Guests:

Tyler Austin Harper, staff writer, The Atlantic; author of "What We Lose When We're Priced Out of Our Hobbies;" cohost of the podcast "Time to Say Goodbye"

Jasmine Garnett, senior platforms engagement producer, KQED

John Brieger, co-owner, Solis Game Studio; board member of Golden Gate Gamemakers
