“Les Autres” is a podcast that tackles societal issues by sharing diverse perspectives, and with nuance as a guiding principle. It invites everyone to reflect on the differences and divergences that shape us and to actively listen to what may seem foreign to us. It's an invitation to move beyond binary thinking, to reintroduce complexity, and to rebuild connections in our societies that are often too fragmented and polarized. So that maybe, together, we can touch upon what unites us all at the core.
