About this listen

 A podcast on the research and experience of loneliness. In each episode, I have a conversation with a guest who has something interesting to say about loneliness, be it from an academic (and often philosophical), personal, or any other perspective. New episodes air every second Tuesday.Axel Seemann Social Sciences
