With this podcast, we ask everyone to bring in objects that mean a lot to them. And it can be something that isn't in your house and even a memory, really. So the first thing that I'd love you to share with us is something that moves you. It's a swimming reindeer figure carved from a mammoth task somewhere at least 13,000 years ago. We don't know anything about why it was carved, what its purpose was.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, Isy Suttie is joined by award-winning author and professor, Sarah Bakewell.
Sarah joins us to discuss her latest work of nonfiction, Humanly Possible: seven hundred years of humanist freethinking, inquiry, and hope
Isy and Sarah also discuss Humanism and religion, finding beauty in the complexity of the world, a brief history of human dissection, and the writing of Michel de Montaigne.
