A Wonderful Chaos

Society EN ↓ 100 episodes

A Wonderful Chaos is a talkshow for those who appreciate curious, loving dialogue. We embrace laughing and crying. Being present with our guests is core to each show. We carry to the motto, "being unprepared is the best preparation." We avoid dogmatic personas, the world has enough of them already. We invite emotional subject: sexual addiction, PTSD, open marriages, life in prison. We invite TED speakers and best selling authors on subjects that interest us. As our jingle goes, "It's a wonderful chaos and we like it that way." Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we cry. We welcome it all.
