“Human hunger – not just for food, but for everything – drives us to do beautiful things, crazy things, horrible things, but that is the most human thing I can point to. We're a very hungry species, and that hunger moves us.” —Ayana Young, Host

Lost me the first 3 times Alok’s name was mispronounced
The new short format is not that satisfying, issues can barely be touched on and then we are directed to pay for the classes. It’s disappointing bc this form of monetizing deprives the listening experience… It’s really important content, too bad I’m too broke in disability to keep paying and paying for subscriptions
This is the kind of content I want when I want to learn but don’t want to add to my overwhelm and stress. I feel calmer, energized, and grounded after listening to episodes (instead of activated and stressed like other media).
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and just love everything about it. It’s so insightful and just beautiful. I always learn something new and am made to feel more relaxed by the end of each episode. Loving the website, zines, films and learning tools.
I treasure this podcast. Ayana is an extraordinary interlocutor. I am writing because I just listened to the Sophie Strand interview. Several times in her very opinionated view of the world she shared beliefs and opinions that are just that, but which have basis in truth or fact. One can tell wondrous stories of the living world that dissolve one’s sense of “self.” Her stories do the opposite though it is obviously not her intention.
