Each time, she meets an inspiring personality of her choice from the worlds of culture, politics, art and science to discuss current events and explore the thinking spaces and experiential worlds of her guests. In the conversations, uncomfortable issues are taken up and questions are thought through to the end – without taboos, honestly and without spectacle.
The audience is also invited to participate: a note box will be converted into an analogue comments section to ensure audience members can engage with the content shared, completely free of digital distractions and without being put on the spot.
