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. 134 | He Voted Obama & Joined the KKK: the How & the Why (PART 1)
Chris Buckley was a war veteran returning home when he was recruited for a KKK chapter – the Georgia White Knights, but the events leading up to that were “a Petry dish of hate” that included abuse, addiction, death & displacement. If you’ve ever wondered what causes someone to join the KKK, this episode will give you perspective. Trigger warning on basically all the triggers.
