Meredith for Real: the curious introvert
Each episode explores a taboo question or cultural blind spot with an expert who is themselves, a paradox -
Like the atheist doctor who studied near death experiences for 50 years (ep 224)
Or the deeply religious man studied by NASA who sees UFOs regularly (ep 261).
The mission is to inspire the kind of curiosity that looks for & celebrates nuance, because we all deserve a more curious future.
So tune in each week (new episodes every Monday) to question things like American individualism (ep 260), trigger warnings (ep 208) & circumcision (ep 178).
Still not sure where to start?

Ep. 120 | Holy Smoke: The International Church of Cannabis
Steve Berke shares how he went from judgmental jock to cannabis advocate. He explains how smoking a spliff with Sir Richard Branson was the beginning of his journey to breaking the pothead stereotype, the origin story of becoming co-founder of the International Church of Cannabis & his opinion on the increasingly stronger products offered at dispensaries.
Special thanks to listeners Megan Stodard & Chad Sanders for inspiration on this episode.
