The Longwave Home

Episode #09 “Innerstanding”

Innerstanding

We say “I understand” all the time. But what do we really mean? Is understanding simply knowing the facts? Is it agreement? Experience? Perspective? And what happens when all the information in the world still doesn’t help something make sense?

Episode Nine of The Longwave Home explores the curious, complicated and deeply human business of understanding ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

DEDICATION

This episode is dedicated to Understanding.
Wherever we may find it, may we always leave a little room for it.
