We bring you conversations with the people whose job it is to explore the human experience and our place in the world. We talk about current issues and aspects of contemporary culture that matter deeply in our everyday lives, our relationships to each other and our histories as a diverse human community. Brought to you from the studios of KZSU Stanford with the support of the Stanford Humanities Center and the Stanford Division of Literatures, Cultures and Languages.
