About This Podcast
Here we will follow the threads of culture, science, and spirit as they cross and tangle—sometimes in harmony, sometimes in friction. We will speak of the ferment of the modern world and its restless intellectual life. We will trace the rise of artificial intelligence and its uncanny echo of human thought. And we will turn, again and again, to the brilliant outsiders.
