This is the age of the "superfad". Products, ideas and habits that surge into our collective conscience - and frequently burn out just as fast. In this new podcast from Stuff, two of our millennial reporters dive into the crazes. Laura Walters and Katie Kenny have spent a week in a waist trainer, crammed into a tiny house and vegged out on the couch for hours of binge watching to deliver Superfad. Each episode combines lively insights and revealing personal stories from well-known New Zealanders. We also explore the important social and cultural questions raised by the rapid rise and fall of 21st century fads.

In this episode of Superfad, hosts Laura Walters and Katie Kenny figure out what “mindfulness” actually is, consider the view of the cynics and give it a try for themselves. We hear first from Lotta Dann, a sober alcoholic and firm believer in the merits of mindfulness.
