Episode 48 - Possible Revolutionary Futures
We are witnessing revolution, and that’s what this episode is about: witnessing, in the form of journalism, and revolution, in the form of climate justice that is interconnected with social justice.
Guest Eric Holthaus is a meteorologist, a climate journalist, and the author of The Future Earth: A Radical Vision for What's Possible in the Age of Warming. Rolling Stone called him the rebel nerd of meteorology. He lives in Minnesota and, as he says, has really gotten into birding in his 40s.
Against a backdrop of interconnected struggles, we are seeing great humanity and great inhumanity. For every leader who lacks courage, millions of regular people are showing conviction and bravery. For every tyrant who cracks down with oppression and violence, with the great weight of extractive systems and aggressive power behind them, there are millions more who are leaving their screens and their homes to stand up for what they believe in.
In this conversation, we get into life after capitalism, radical stewardship, and the links between genocide, fossil fuels, power and money. There is a balance between grim realities and possibility, between grief and imagination. This is a conversation about revolution, the state of climate journalism, community, and many possible futures.
Episode 18 - Rewriting Wildness
What does wildness mean to us - and what can it mean when it is defined not by a few people, but rewritten for all of us? Guest J. Drew Lanham is an ornithologist, wildlife ecologist, poet, professor, author, and lover of birds. This conversation looks at how a new conservation can be inclusive for all people, and how care for humans, nature, and animals like birds are connected.
