In July of 2019, Eric Weinstein launched [[The Portal Podcast]]. Its name taking inspiration from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYtJq71CMnU "portal story"] motifs in literature, the show aims to bring its audience into contact with the most fundamental and transcendent aspects of reality, to break the almost-universal intellectual stasis that pervades our institutions, to foster individual sense-making, and to galvanize the search for a more hopeful, transformative future. Since launch, the podcast has released 43 episodes: 36 interview episodes, 6 solo episodes, and 1 special. Other content, such as 36 [[Content by Eric Weinstein#Instagram|Instagram livestreams]] and 6 standalone [[Content by Eric Weinstein#Other Videos|YouTube videos]], have been released since the start of the Covid-19 lockdowns. | |||
