What does it mean to be human in this world we find ourselves living in? Amelia Vegting and Jez Francis explore some experiences common to us all, and how they affect us. With the help of some special guests, they hope to learn a bit more about themselves and each other.

In this episode, Amelia and Jez are joined by creative facilitators and their friends Simon Arrowsmith and Saul Jaffe to explore what happens when knowledge moves beyond the head and changes what we do. Through stories of academic shortcomings, musical frustrations and improvised performance, they explore how failure, uncertainty and embarrassment can be essential to learning. From the classroom to the workplace, they consider how learning through play and story can build confidence and help people adapt to change. In a world where information is just a click away, Simon and Saul ask how we can stay curious, critical and connected, creating environments where people feel safe to experiment and learn without judgement, while protecting the human skills technology cannot replace.

In this episode of the Being Human Podcast, Amelia and Jez are joined by Professor Helen Chatterjee to explore how museums, culture, creativity, and community-based approaches can transform health and wellbeing – especially for those facing inequalities.

Through engaging stories and research insights, Helen delves into the value of creative health, social prescribing, and the ways communities can foster connection and resilience.

Nourishment: What does it mean to truly feed ourselves?
Amelia and Jez are joined by Adam Kingl and Jakub Radzikowski to explore nourishment in its broadest sense. From the science of what we eat to the creativity, care, and connection that shape how we live. Drawing on Adam’s work in leadership, innovation and education, and Jakub’s background as a scientist and chef, they reflect on the role of cooking as an act of mindfulness, the value of preparation and mastery, and the joy of sharing food with others. Together, they consider how the kitchen can become a place of learning, experimentation and belonging, and why nourishment is about far more than nutrition alone.
