The hosts had an opportunity to discuss the consequences of population growth... more
Apple Podcasts1rlw1992United States2 months ago - This Show Changed My Life
This podcast has been an essential part of decolonizing my mind over the past decade. I’m thankful for its dedication to storytelling as first person narratives have painted my world into such a brighter, wider context. And still, whenever Gene signs off with “Be easy,” I still hear Sharen in my mind responding with “Peace.”
