The Undivided Man

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! This week on ContraCast: character. The real kind, not the brand kind. The mark that gets engraved into you by what you do when nobody’s watching. We take apart the modern lie that being open to everyone is the same as being known, talk discipline and the expensive promise, and tell the story of Witold Pilecki, the man who walked into Auschwitz on purpose, got erased by the regime that killed him, and came out the other side of history a hero anyway. Small circle. Expensive word. A room that’s never actually empty.
