Peripheral Thinking podcast

Peripheral Thinking

A podcast to challenge your assumptions and inspire you with ideas from the periphery, the margins. We live in times of unprecedented change. The systems - financial, social, ecological, environmental - on which we depend are stretched to breaking point. Professional, personal and organisational ‘norms’ increasingly less normal. We are in transition. The ideas to shape tomorrow exist today at the margins. What might we learn from ancient wisdom, eastern philosophy or indigenous thinking? Or DeGrowth and other radical social and political movements? Peripheral Thinking is a podcast which investigates these ideas, so you can carry them back to the mainstream.
