With this podcast, we discuss a range of topics from fitness to philosophy, arts, science and technology, but with an underlying focus on self improvement, developing a healthy mindset and all the life lessons you can learn along the way. And of course, sure we’ll have a bit of craic while we’re at it.

Specific topics we focus in on include the technology behind it, it potential for transforming the hard sciences, how it sits with how humans value 'intelligence' and 'creativity' and learning we can live with it and avoid a certain James Cameron version of our future.

    Episode #24 – “Nature’s Call”

    In this episode, we talk about our relationship with nature and how it can keep us healthy and happy. At the same time however, we seem to be drifting away from nature and considering ourselves separate to it, viewing it as something to be forgotten as we race towards global urbanisation.
