In the pilot episode, Spencer and Arjun discuss issues with social roles and the slow decline of third space in our communities. They toss around possible causes, like the toxicity of social media, advertising, modal confusion, and creativity. Ultimately, the conservation points toward a need for spaces where people engage in connective and meaningful conversations - in other words, a rostrum.
