The Remedy: Introduction

https://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/embed/4f50c2c72e6e32aba2f8

In this short podcast, Naomi Richman introduces the series, 'The Remedy' by offering some history and context to contemporary discussions about health and healing.

This series explores different religious and secular approaches to healing. In each episode, DPhil candidate Naomi Richman interviews a representative from a religious or secular movement to find out how their perspectives influence their attitudes to health and modern medicine. Through these conversations, we reveal what ancient truths can assist us in our contemporary search for well-being, from ayuverda to transhumanism. This project is generously supported by The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities (TORCH) and was initially produced in celebration of Radio Brockley's 50th anniversary, London's longest running hospital radio station based at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
