Summary

This week’s podcast is an energetic, wordy and occasionally heated (in a good way!) with the incredible musician and artist Tim Minchin. Tim is an Australian comedian, actor, writer, musician, and songwriter. He is best known for his musical comedy! His new album ‘Apart Together’ will be released on Friday 20 November. We discuss everything from creativity and politics to whether or not your view on the origin of consciousness can determine whether we can change the world for the better. Tim is a rationalist and atheist, he explains his world view and how he finds beauty and comfort in a meaningless universe. On the other hand, I argue that spirituality and meaning is needed to supersede the current capitalist and materialist society that is no longer serving and nurturing our needs. Let us know what you think of the discussion on social media! Tim’s debut studio album, Apart Together, is available now: https://tim-minchin.lnk.to/ApartTogetherAlbumPR Twitter: @timminchin Instagram: @timminchin #ApartTogetherAlbum Website: timminchin.com
