About Most Universal
From the publisher's feed
"What is most personal is most universal." American psychologist Carl Rogers believed that our most specific and niche interests were the same ones that resonated with other people. With almost two decades of Indy Hall existing, we know that it's true.
On Most Universal, Adam Teterus (Indy Hall's Community Director) interviews members of our community and friends outside our walls to learn about their specific and niche interests, looking for the through-line that binds us all together.
Most Universal is recorded live on Thursdays at 12pm ET, and new episodes are released every Monday.
