About the Podcast
The world is currently undergoing a meaning crisis. Many of the age-old dogmas, traditions, and ideologies we once drew wisdom from have shown deep flaws. Where do we go from here? Join Stewart Alsop, as he and his guests share the many lessons they’ve learned exploring this question, and as they pierce through the facade of ideology and instead seek to interact with experience as it actually is.
