This
is a pilot program for a “Ideas”, a radio/podcast series
I hope to create.
“Ideas” is designed as an hour-long weekly conversation about ideas which are not part of current political controversies or mass media pre-occupations.
My aim is to create a civilised discourse in the company of some of the best minds in America which will make people feel they are part of the nation’s intellectual life just by listening to it. It’s not meant to be confrontational or argumentative or promotional: just interesting.
The pilot is about how the human brain got to be the way it is and whether it’s still evolving: I got together experts from Anthropology and Brain Studies and Neuroscience from USC and UCLA and we simply sat down for an hour and talked: the result, unedited, is what you hear.
I hope you enjoy it and that I get the chance to make more.
