These Days
These Days is a podcast about exactly that. And these days we’re in need of something different. We’re in need of a space in which to challenge ideas, to have an honest exchange and the connection that comes from that. Some episodes will be solo missions, and some will be discussions—with figures from the arts, media, politics, psychology and philosophy, science, tech, sports… you get the idea. In each, we'll be aiming for something vital. These Days… join us.
