Most podcasts give you answers. This one starts with questions.

Field Notes on Being Alive is a monthly chapter podcast — each month a single theme, explored from every angle. Research, conversation, and the kind of questions worth sitting with longer than a commute.

Twelve chapters a year. One question at a time.
