If your podcast rotation could use a little less doom and gloom and a little more discovery, I've got something for you.

This week on Add This To Your Playlist, I'm introducing you to This Being Human, an arts and culture podcast from the Aga Khan Museum that explores Muslim art, culture, and the surprising ways we're all connected.

Ever wondered how Arabic typography has shaped the world of design? Or what happens when an artist turns a collection of 12,000 everyday objects into a museum? From the architecture behind some of Toronto's most beautiful buildings to the creative possibilities of modest fashion, this show takes you into worlds you might never have thought to explore.

With a new host, Mai Habib, and full video episodes, This Being Human is back for its fifth season, and I'm sharing a conversation with Egyptian architect Kareem Ibrahim about his work revitalizing the historic city of Esna. It's a pretty incredible example of how art, culture, and community can come together to create meaningful change.

If you're curious about the world beyond your own backyard, or just love hearing from people doing interesting things you never knew were possible, I think this show deserves a spot in your rotation.

A little optimism for your podcast queue this week!

To kick off a sparkling new season of Add This To Your Playlist, we’re sharing The Forefront: Next gen generosity, an award-winning podcast that we produce over at The Walrus Lab in partnership with Toronto Metropolitan University.

Now in its sixth season, The Forefront has upgraded to a full video podcast! Episodes bring together new host, TMU Chancellor Donette Chin-Loy Chang, and community leaders for conversations about generosity, leadership, and the experiences that shape how people give back. And today we're bringing you an episode with TMU president Mohamed Lachemi, whose own journey from an international student relying on scholarships to leading a major Canadian university makes this a particularly personal conversation about education, opportunity, belonging, and opening doors for others.

Can we be normal about AI for a minute? Because most conversations about AI seem to skip right past the nuance.

In this episode, we're adding THE GRAIN Podcast to our playlist. Hosted by Toronto-based creative strategist and director Ronit Novak, the show explores how AI is changing creativity, culture, and the human experience through thoughtful conversations with artists, technologists, journalists, educators, and more.

Today, we're listening to Ronit's conversation with artist and designer Marian Bantjes, who started experimenting with AI when generative tools first became widely available. Together, they explore questions about creativity, authorship, originality, and what happens when AI becomes less of a tool and more of a creative collaborator.

If you're curious about AI, art, or how technology is reshaping the way we create, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
