In the first episode of the 'On Being Human' podcast, hosts Rob Husband and Eveline van den Heuvel explore the concept that every experience, culture, system, or person begins as a story. They discuss the impact of these root stories on our lives, particularly how we might outgrow them or be unaware of their limitations.
The episode is divided into three parts: an initial discussion with the guest(s), personal introductions, and a reflective conversation featuring poetry and references. Rob and Eveline share their own foundational stories, consider the influences that shaped them, and contemplate the stories imposed by others. They reflect on how these narratives affect their current lives and professional choices, offering listeners insights and prompting personal contemplation.
