How We Live Now with Katherine May

102

Arts #106, Books #34

How should we live in this world when so much is changed? Katherine May, author of Wintering and the Electricity of Every Living Thing, asks those most intimate with the effects of these transformations: what now?

How do we stay soft in a world determined to harden? How can we bear witness to suffering without being dragged into despair? How do we ride the waves of our anger, sorrow and exhaustion, and still find space for wonder, hope and joy? How can we possibly help?

In a series of frank, thoughtful and deeply personal conversations, How We Live Now will explore the cultural, social and spiritual mindset for this long moment.

Lovely discovery

I can’t believe there are only 88 reviews of this podcast so far! I’m so glad I found it. May’s books are so nourishing for my spirit and I’m thrilled she has a podcast too. I’ve listened to two episodes so far and they’ve been great food for thought. I feel like she asks questions about things that matter and talks to interesting people who are investigating important ideas for our time. Plus, she has a wonderful voice! Give it a go, you won’t regret it.

Laughing?

I love Katherine’s work, and her guests are usually very interesting, but the only gripe I have is that there is so much inappropriate laughing..? Is it just me?

Thoughtful and soothing

Both hard and wonderful topics, approached with respect and care. Talking about things we don’t normally talk about—but need to.

Liked the Wintering Sessions but not the new show

The Wintering Sessions was perfection - the new show? Not so much. Different vibe, not as warm and comforting. Needless to say I’ve removed all the downloads from my phone.

The most important, underrated podcast

I’m fairly certain Katherine May is my platonic soulmate. I so enjoy having additional insight into her lovely brain, as well as the brains of her guests. I’m going through a period of wintering myself, and the best part of my days of late is my hour long walk each morning listening to this podcast. It’s become a beautiful ritual during a very dark period and I’m just so grateful it exists. More episodes, please. Many, many more.

A great conversation to revisit over and over

I really appreciate the space created from this podcast. I listen to these episodes many times because they are so life giving. I really like how there is this space for talking about wintering, but it is in such a way that gives wisdom insight and reflection from people who have gotten through it and seen how it is shaped their life. I don’t think there is enough conversations like this so thank you!

Simply lovely host and guests

Love this expansion of Katherine May’s profound book, Wintering. I’ve already listened to several episodes twice. Such comfort and wisdom in hearing people explore these true but unacknowledged times in our lives.
