What if the real crisis in the West isn’t political, but civilisational? What if our institutions, our culture, and even our language are no longer capable of telling the truth?

Welcome to First Light—a new kind of conversation. In this opening trailer, host James Orr sets the stage for what lies ahead. This is not another podcast chasing headlines. It is a deeper pursuit, rooted in the conviction that philosophy, theology and tradition still have something to say in an age of confusion.

Across the series, James will sit down with thinkers and cultural dissidents who refuse to conform. Guests like Konstantin Kisin will examine how comedy became the front line of free speech, how populism rose in the vacuum left by liberalism, and what it means to recover moral clarity in a post-truth world.

If you’re tired of the noise, if you sense something deeper is breaking beneath the surface, First Light is for you.
