Thought For TheWorld

Although ethical insights are not the sole preserve of religious people, the BBC have always denied humanist and secular thinkers a slot on 'Thought for the Day' on Radio 4’s flagship news programme, Today.

 

In February 2007 the Humanist Society of Scotland launched the Thought for the World podcast site featuring contributions from the distinguished philosophers A.C. Grayling, Nigel Warburton and Julian Baggini, CND Chair Kate Hudson, HSS Celebrant Gillian Stewart and award-winning comedian Stewart Lee, creator of Jerry Springer the Opera. In 2009 the campaign will also be supported by the British Humanist Association and the first podcast will come online on Monday 9th February.

 

The site now aggregates podcasts from other humanist organizations and our current aim is to develop it into a global humanist 'Thought for the World’.
