East meds West
Philosophy Podcasts
East meds West from Dr. Carolyn Eddleston. Exploring the collision and collaboration of Eastern and Western cultures. Starting with medicine and wellbeing, but opening up to broader philosophies and ideas. Dr. Carolyn Eddleston, uniquely positioned as a registered GP and a practising Traditional Acupuncturist, delves into contemporary thinking and ancient philosophies of life, and brings them out of the consulting room into the wider world by interviewing inspiring leaders in health, science and creative industries. This has been a refreshing and fun project that will evolve with time. Huge thanks to my co-host Karl Cooper who has given me technical support and kept me on track, Mike O'Reilly, a phenomenal creative strategist, who not only came up the title, but patiently encouraged me to find my own words, and Nick Bott for composing the music.
