I was skeptical, but the conversations always leave me with new things to think about, and the solo episode on Camus vs effective altruism is one of the best things I've listened to about philosophy, ethics and modern day thinking in a long time.
I’m baffled as to how there are only 2 reviews on here so far. Get on Team Human! A healing balm for the Anthropo/Capitalo/Techbrocene… Your life will be better off for listening to this podcast!
Hi to all members of Team Human. This really is a very important project. Thank you Douglas.
Compelling conversations through a very specific lens make for a good listen every time. Alas, while I don't begrudge podcasters monetizing with ad inserts, this show drops them in literally mid-sentence, which greatly diminishes the listener experience. Fix that and it's a five star.
I look forward to the Team Human podcast more than any other show. And podcasts are my favorite form of media besides books.

This program centers on technology, power, and what it means to stay human in an increasingly systemic world. Conversations typically bring together scientists, activists, artists, philosophers, and researchers to probe who benefits from current structures and how to build more humane futures.
