  • Another celebrity interview podcast. I think this is probably one of the better ones, but it's not in my area of interest.

  • Hope.

    This podcast gives me hope. Much like the Anthropocene reviewed. Where a green brother made a banger that sometimes makes you cry. Plus this podcast hits extra hard with all the “controversy” at the moment. We are all just humans. And we aren’t perfect. We are all just trying to do the best we can with the time we got- and Hank (no matter any mistakes) is doing one of the best jobs I’ve ever seen.

    Thanks for being a human! -a humanity loving human who also loves the podcast humans

  • This podcast gives me hope

    This podcast gives me hope for the future. Hank believes in the potential for good in humans and he is a great example of one. Humans are lucky to have this ambassador for our species. He is a wonderful interviewer and I look forward to each episode. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sam Forstag Might Be My Congressman
Q: What reforms do you see as practical to reduce money in politics?
A direct aim to repeal Citizens United, strengthen state-level rules like Montana's I-194, and create long-term pressure on the Supreme Court to reduce corporate influence through plausible statutory changes.
Sam Forstag Might Be My Congressman
Q: How do you plan to balance representing a diverse district like Montana's first?
By listening to people on the ground, elevating voices from different communities (including tribal leaders), and focusing on shared concerns like housing and infrastructure rather than pure ideology.
Sam Forstag Might Be My Congressman
Q: What drew you from firefighting into running for Congress in Montana?
A combination of witnessing the systemic issues in housing, health care, and public lands, plus a belief that direct organizing and working-class representation could reshape policy at the federal level.
Vicky Holmes: Finding Humanity in Feral Cats
Q: What governs the Warrior Code and its resistance to being fixed like a rigid rulebook?
The Warrior Code developed organically, with rules emerging as needed; it's not written on tablets but grown from lived experience and the needs of the clan community.
Vicky Holmes: Finding Humanity in Feral Cats
Q: How does Erin Hunter exist in the world and in you?
Erin Hunter exists as a multi-persona collaboration—myself, Kate Carey, and Cherith Baldry—each bringing different strengths, while the broader team keeps the world consistent and alive for readers.
