Metamodern Meaning

Brendan Graham Dempsey

Booking Overview

This is an interview podcast focused on metamodernism, meaning-making, spirituality, integral thought, and related philosophical communities, typically featuring external philosophers, theorists, authors, and artists. Agencies could credibly pitch published thinkers, systems researchers, integral or spiritual philosophers, and artists developing serious mythopoetic or cultural projects; booking difficulty is medium because the show values strong intellectual relevance and demonstrated work, but targets a specialized community rather than only prominent mainstream figures.
