Murmurations

Author: Darren Kelsey

The Murmurations podcast hosts connective conversations for collective thinking with guests from a variety of backgrounds talking about culture, society, media, mind, politics and current events. I hope it helps us to think more about what it means to be human, how we connect in modern times, how we might start to think more collectively about our wellbeing, and how we want to live together in the future. Through connection and conversation we can start to tell better stories for a better world and a better future. Thank you for listening. Biographical note: Dr Darren Kelsey is Head of Media, Culture, Heritage at Newcastle University.
