  • Résumé

  • In this podcast, we have a chat about some of the big questions of life – from the meaning of life to how to be good – as we’re fascinated by them and want to help other people navigate them too.In each episode we discuss our views about a different big question, and we aim to do this largely from a non-religious perspective (because that’s where we both come from) but in an accessible and inclusive way. There’ll be big ideas, personal stories and occasional references to Star Trek – but don’t let that put you off! We don’t aim to have the full answers to each question but we’ll hopefully encourage you to think about them too! Andrew Copson is the Chief Executive of Humanists UK and Richard Docwra is a writer and the Director of Life Squared.

  • Ep 5 - how to think about death

    Ep 5 - how to think about death
    Feb 22 2021

    In the final episode of this series we discuss death - a topic we don’t talk about enough in western society, but which is important to think about - both for our own sake and for those we love.

    We ask what death is, and what happens after we die. We explore why people have certain beliefs about death. We then consider how we can think about our own deaths in a more effective way, and get more out of our lives by doing so.

    We also discuss how we should think about other people‘s deaths, and what a ’good death‘ looks like. We discuss some personal stories of how we have experienced, and planned for, the deaths of loved ones and the important lessons we’ve learned from this.

  • Ep 4 - how to be happy

    Ep 4 - how to be happy
    Feb 15 2021

    This week we discuss the big topic of happiness, via goth woodlice and Star Trek (of course).

    What is happiness? Should we be striving for it in our lives? What are the things that make people happy - and that don’t? Should we be focussing our societies more on the aim of promoting people’s happiness - and what would a ‘happy society’ look like?

  • Ep 3 - how to be good

    Ep 3 - how to be good
    Feb 8 2021

    This week we’re looking at the topic of morality.  

    We’re explore what we mean by ‘good’ and ‘bad’, and whether these are real things. We’ll ask whether human beings are moral creatures or not. And we’ll go on to explore what it means to be good, and how we can live in line with our values.

    In a surprise turn, we also explore the 10 commandments of Star Trek!
