Like all vital nonprofit organizations, the Forum on Life, Culture & Society (FOLCS) was born out of a need for conversation. The FOLCS podcast, "Culture in the Round," brings FOLCS directly to your ears. Our Conversations and other Event Series are reminiscent of New York culture as it once was: active, alive, participatory, communal, and super smart. And that's why we are able to draw such culturally relevant and distinguished guests to our live and virtual stages. They, too, know that FOLCS provides a unique and enriching experience — one that is symbiotic and captivating. FOLCS goes where the ideas go.
