This podcast explores the ways that play teaches us about ourselves as individuals and members of society. We look at forms of play through games, sports, celebrations, performances, toys, and everyday “fun!” As researchers and fans, we go out and play, meet our fellow players, and then discuss what we learned. Along the way, we seek to understand: Why do we play? How does it change us? When does playing connect or divide us? And what can it show us about building better lives for ourselves and each other?
