Project Human
17 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 39 ratingsConversations we have in everyday life are not directed. We just have them. It is the conversations we don’t expect to have that have the most impact. Think of the last time you had an unexpectedly profound chat with a total stranger. You weren’t expecting to meet that person and you couldn’t possibly have planned it, but you certainly remember it. Some part or many parts of that exchange stuck out, and burned into your memory. It was exactly what you needed to hear, perhaps by total accident or mysterious coincidence. That is what Zac Cichy hopes to cultivate with this project. Vast adventure awaits you. This is Project Human.
