Hello, Human
About This Show
Show Info:
A podcast about being human in an age of machines, Hello, Human is an ongoing and idiosyncratic conversation—embedded deeply in the humanities—that makes the argument that those of not made of silicon still have something to say about the future we’re all rushing into. Multicast twice a month, each episode deals with a specific question, often taken from those writing or speaking most eloquently about our contemporary human condition. There are digressions, rambling monologues that even occasionally return to the topic at hand, and honest explorations of meaning, relevance, and applicability. It’s eavesdropping at its best.
Episodes marked with '[HBP]' are from the earlier Human Business Podcast series.

Fiction is important. In this episode we talk about why, and particularly now. And while we spend more than half of the time on the practical aspects of fiction—what it is good for, why it is important in the day-to-day life of people trying to live, trying to earn a living, and trying to make sense of an increasingly complex and difficult world, we also get into things like the magic of fiction—its power to change minds and civilizations, the role orthodoxy of "the word" has in structuring social, cultural, intellectual, and religious conversation, and Peter also wonders where the real line is between fiction and non-fiction (hint...it can't be about facts).
