Who Wrote the Rules?

Vicki Shaw

Booking Overview

This is a narrative interview and solo-reflection podcast about values, inherited narratives, human history, philosophy, science, and ecological instability, featuring occasional external guests such as founders and specialists with distinctive frameworks or personal stories. Agencies could credibly pitch philosophers, historians, scientists, ecologists, authors, and experts on values or worldview; the accessible, niche format suggests generally low-to-medium booking difficulty, though highly prominent intellectuals may be more competitive.

In order to find what's next, I spend time exploring the world through literature and stumble onto an article titled, "We need a modern origin story."
