PRESENTS — Ideas, "Our Bodies, Our Cells"

Description
This isn't a bonus episode of The Minefield. Instead, we wanted to introduce you to a podcast we think of as a kind of kindred spirit to ours. Given the rapid increase in the number of podcasts over the last 7 years or so, it can be difficult to find offerings of real quality, intellectual curiosity, and genuine depth. IDEAS from the CBC is a rich and wide-ranging exploration of contemporary thought and intellectual history. In the age of clickbait and superficial headlines, this is unapologetically a program for people who like to think and have their horizons expanded. The clip you're going to hear from a documentary called "Our Bodies, Our Cells", which examines the microscopic cosmos of the body. The closer the IDEAS team zoomed in, the closer they got to some of the fundamental truths about life … and found it even stranger, more wondrous, and more paradoxical than they could have imagined. If it manages to pique your curiosity, you can find more episodes of IDEAS wherever you get your podcasts.
