The Cognitive Drift
Sean McClure
Frequency: 1 episode/28d. Total Eps: 18

A book doesn't have to be the destination. Sometimes it's just the spark.
The Cognitive Drift is a podcast by Sean McClure; researcher, systems thinker, and someone who has spent years studying how ideas are actually extracted from serious reading. Each episode begins with a book but quickly leaves it behind, following a single insight wherever it drifts; through complexity science, AI, philosophy, biology, and the deep patterns underneath how the world works.
This isn't a book review show. It's what happens in the mind of a conviction-driven thinker after the book is closed.
