One of humanity’s universal experiences is the search for meaning. How did we get here? What is my life’s purpose? What is consciousness? How will I be remembered?
These are questions that have plagued humanity’s biggest thinkers and continue to challenge us today. Join host Kmele Foster on a new show as we set out around the world to explore how we create meaning from a new lens, weaving together insightful conversations with writers, scientists, religious leaders, philosophers, artists, and more to help us explore life’s biggest (and most exciting) questions.
This is Dispatches, an original show from The Well.
