Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 173 ratings
  • Excellent interviews and guests

    Masha Gessen & Jason Stanley interview was excellent, sounding the clear warning that Republican authoritarianism is already happening. Equally clear that Democrats have no creative leaders to fight it.

  • Refreshing

    Presenting people creating real solutions for change. Voices of people making real change. The thinkers and doers of our time with all in mind, not just the oligarchs. Pulling back for a broad view of systems broken and the people working to fix them driven by people for people, not centered on profits over people, but rather, people and planet first.
