Judging by your first suggestion, it sounds somewhat like a podcast-version of Half As Interesting, on Youtube (my pet peeve with that channel is it has several "I think I'm being funny" quips interspersed throughout). Regardless, I think there's tons of room in the media space for such an idea. Go for it! Regarding the question in the title specifically, everything at all times is complex. Now, if we choose to see it that way, that's another question. Ex. A car gets us from point A to point B, and so we see it as such (ie, what it does for us, not what it is). But when that car breaks down, its intricate and endless complexity is revealed to us. All of a sudden, we get a glimpse of what it is and not what it does for us. Which is to say, we look at everyday life at the lowest resolution possible, in order to get on with our day. It has to be high enough resolution to hold some value and meaning, but not so high that it adds unneeded complexity to our life.
