  • Ruin Their Crops

    Thank you this excellent interview! The MAGA bunch are in love with RFK Jr. and say they care about health in America. Yet, many are completely unaware of how corporate ag has complete control over not just food but also our fuel industry. Been a fan for a long time. So glad you’re back!

  • An enlightening experience

    This podcast brilliantly captures many of my interests, questions and ponderings. As I feel somewhat limited in what I can share in my professional life )if it does not move with the narrative)- this podcast provides a platform for scholars/seekers to learn and then DO.
