5 - What Are We Building Here?

In this solo episode, Chris outlines the world he's trying to frame here by exploring the themes and ideas that he keeps coming back to in life. From a desire to platform unheard voices, uncovering the silent evidence that is so often ignored by popular public discourse, and a deep interest in interrogating how we live, create, and structure our society. Over time this will be a place to hear from public figures on unexpected angles and ordinary people with extraordinary insights. All driven by a deep interest in how we live, what we overlook, and what matters. It's terrible news for the show's marketing, but hopefully good news for the audience. There will be no single topic, but plenty of recurring themes: navigating the world as a highly creative person the enshittification of everything; the critical importance (and current absence) of right-brain thinking in improving society; the gap between how things are now and how good things could be; and the depolarising power of discourse that doesn’t fit neatly into commercial formats. If you’ve ever wondered, 'Why does everything feel a bit broken?' — or if you just want a discourse that values intelligent thinking and deep curiosity — we hope you feel welcome here! As always, there is an open invitation to shape what comes next by getting in touch with us through any of our channels. 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday!
