Look Beyond Face Value
18 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -Thinking is hard but necessary. Our goal is to have our listeners look a little deeper into their daily lives and surroundings. To not just accept things as "this is just the way things are" but rather to become curious of "how did 'things' become this way." Look Beyond Face Value is a podcast that dives beyond the surface, exploring the origins, motivations, and stories of historical and more recent events. Why do we celebrate St. Patrick's Day? What are "Hemingways Cats"? Who was Helen Keller (after the age of ten...)? Explore mistruths that we've all been led to believe and ask who, what, when, where, and why... but mostly why. And not to take what's being reported at face value. Listen weekly as your hosts take you on an entertaining journey that you didn't even know you wanted to go on. Suggestions on episode ideas?
