It’s finally here: the first season of How We Live Now

---

Hello,

After a much longer wait than any of us intended, it’s finally here: the first season of How We Live Now.

The Wintering Sessions entered a cocoon last summer, and this is what emerged. We’ve made some big changes, but kept the heartfelt, gentle core intact.

First of all, there’s a guiding question of each mini-season, and this time around it’s ‘How can we come back together again?’ I posed this question to some of the world’s most important thinkers in this field: political journalist Ece Temelkuran, radical Buddhist Lama Rod Owens, digital native Emma Gannon, gathering expert Priya Parker, spiritual teacher Simran Jeet Singh and ecological writer Jay Griffiths. Each of them offered something thoughtful and fresh, and each of them changed the way I think about this current - often divided - life. 

A further change is that we’re releasing all six episodes at once, so that you can binge or savour them as you prefer. For those of you who relish a slower pace, we’ll be sending out an email once a fortnight, exploring a particular episode in more depth; but if, like me, you like to swallow your podcast seasons whole, every episode is already waiting for you. 

We’re also inviting your thoughts on each episode from now on - follow this link to join the conversation. Answers, challenges, ideas and further questions are all welcome - there will be a further episode in a couple of months focusing on your voices. 

And finally, you may notice that How We Live Now contains ads. This is part of my mission to make the podcast financially sustainable into the future: podcasts are the work of many hands, and it’s important to me that everyone is paid properly for their work. If you’d prefer to listen ad-free (and a day early), you can join my Patreon and help to fund future seasons - more details here.

I found the process of recording these interviews genuinely perspective-shifting - I hope you enjoy listening. 

How We Live Now is recorded using RiversideFM and hosted by Acast.
