episode 154: "The More I Knew, The Less I Knew"
Our today's guest Paula Wood is a multifaceted woman. She's an artist, a mother, a former editor, and an activist. This conversation brings charm and groundedness because Paula is deeply relatable. We talked about the way our proximity to it shapes our understanding of history, whether history and current events have any objectivity to them, collective denial in privileged groups, and the role of vulnerability in the revolution. Producer & Host: Saadia Khan Associate Producer & Content Editor: Kylee Roberts Content Writer: Sarah Doh Editor: Tom Whelan
