  • Merton

    Normally impressed with the quality of the offerings here, it was a bit jolting to discover an otherwise seemingly well written tale occasionally interrupted in its telling by awkwardly pronounced words or utter mispronunciations, thus was left wondering if it was AI or human doing the recording. Hmmm…

  • Reconnection

    Isolation, alienation and despair have pushed so many to seek comfort and assign blame in misguided directions. Finding kinship and learning to listen to the human and more than human world we have forgotten we are inextricably linked to, may lead us back to ways of being that are healing, nourishing, and regenerative. Can we learn to love the earth, each other and ourselves enough to treasure the gifts and offerings in each present moment and live in awe and appreciation before it is too late... more

  • Something doesn’t feel right

    The folks interviewed are great, but the host is using them to aggrandize himself. There’s something smarmy about it. Something fake.

  • Super dated, may as well be NPR

    If you can’t get enough NPR, this one is for you. For the rest of us, I’d say skip it: little substance, even fewer facts, plenty of adjectives, and a huge dose of neoliberal politics at every corner. The podcast seems to think it’s helping its causes but I suspect it is doing exactly the opposite. It’s also extremely dated. The world has changed and is changing, and this sort of bland and smug posturing isn’t helping or convincing anyone.
