Humanism Now is a weekly podcast for anyone curious about secular humanism and making the most of the one life we have.

Host James Hodgson, founder of podcast studio Humanise Live, is joined by scientists, philosophers, campaigners, authors and everyday people who are building a fairer world, cultivating human flourishing and celebrating the joy of being human.

Every episode is a long-form interview that takes one hard ethical question seriously, using reason and evidence rather than dogma, and always with compassion for the people involved. Recurring themes include:

secular ethics and moral philosophy

freedom of religion or belief and human rights

Resisting nationalism and the future of democracy

AI ethics, technology and what it means to stay human

climate action, equality and social justice

science, scepticism and critical thinking

awe, meaning and our place in the cosmos

You will come away with ideas you can actually use: better arguments, better questions, and practical ways to live an ethical, purpose-driven life while understanding more about yourself, other people and the universe.

Whether you are a lifelong humanist or simply curious about a naturalistic worldview, hit follow and join a global community working towards a fairer, kinder and more rational world, for this generation and the next.

Every episode, guest and transcript is at humanism.now.
