From The Podcast

This series explores different religious and secular approaches to healing. In each episode, DPhil candidate Naomi Richman interviews a representative from a religious or secular movement to find out how their perspectives on spirituality influence their attitudes to health and modern medicine. Through these conversations, Naomi discovers ancient truths that can assist us in our contemporary search for well-being, from ayuverda to transhumanism. This project won the The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities (TORCH) Graduate Fund Award and is supported by the Wellcome Trust for Science and Humanities Public Engagement initiatives. The full series was initially broadcast live on Radio Brockley, London's longest running hospital radio station based at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, in celebration of Radio Brockley's 50th anniversary.
