About

The Weight of God is a narrative essay podcast that  examines philosophy, literature, and cultural phenomena to explore life's big questions. Each podcast episode is highly curated and produced to give the experience of audio immersion journalism. More than anything, it's a place to be wondrous, inquisitive, moved, and lead by those things which perpetually arrest the soul. 

​

My name is Fareah and I'm the creator of this podcast. I'm a writer, aspiring scholar, and student based in the US. As a soon-to-be college graduate, I've been thinking about what I've learned in the past four years and who I've become. This podcast is an attempt to meditate on ideas that I keep coming back to-- the history of religion, the soul, modern society and its failures, the relationship between fact and fiction, the beautiful and the sublime, liberation, and God. If you're curious about these topics, I sincerely hope you'll join this community.
