Meredith for Real: the curious introvert - Podcast

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?

Other listeners loved ep 230 - Can a sexless marriage survive? and ep 237 - Black man who attends KKK rallies: race & friendship
