First Light is a refuge of reason in a restless age—where the hard questions are welcomed, and easy answers are left at the door. Each episode unpacks the fault lines of our culture, from faith and politics to identity and belonging, all through the lens of our civilisation’s enduring wisdom. Join host James Orr as he connects the dots between past and present, revealing why ideas matter, why tradition endures, and why rediscovering truth is the most radical act of all.
