|   	Hey readers,   	    	It's here!   	    	Today, Future Perfect is launching a new limited series podcast called The Way Through. It's all about mining the rich wisdom and faith traditions of the past for guidance that can help us through the challenging times we're living in.   	    	For millennia, secular philosophers and religious thinkers have grappled with questions like "How should we deal with suffering?" and "How can I be most useful to others during a crisis?" They've left us with wisdom that can help us navigate our current crises — a pandemic, a once-in-a-generation economic collapse, racial injustice and social unrest — and maybe even transform our suffering into something meaningful.   	    	So if you haven't already subscribed to the Future Perfect podcast — please subscribe! A new episode of The Way Through will drop into that feed every Wednesday for the next eight weeks. Your hosts (Sean Illing and Sigal Samuel) will bring on brilliant   guests to discuss everything from Buddhist meditations on racial inequality to tips for reckoning with our mortality to philosophical musings on Albert Camus's The Plague.   	    	Check out our first episode! Sigal Samuel speaks with Valerie Brown, an African American mindfulness teacher, about the fascinating connections between Buddhist practice and Black activism.    	    	We hope you'll listen to and share The Way Through with your friends. You can find us on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   	    	—Sean Illing and Sigal Samuel   	  |
