Series Introduction

A quick introduction to my new podcast. What I hope to do with this little project is to explore a wide selection of humanist thought, both ancient and modern, and apply it to questions and concerns of contemporary life. The aim is both educational and political. Humanism is currently under threat, particularly from the fundamentalist religion and authoritarian politics, and this series is a part of my response to that threat. In this episode, I just lay out my overall sense of what the project is and where it might go. More focused content starts with Episode 2.
