  • My favorite podcast

    I started following Ayana Johnson shortly after the Trump administration started deleting scientific data from Federal websites and trying to erase science. Ayana was busying herself, collecting and archiving that data as quickly as she could, while I sat at home and cried in my Beer. These are the leaders we need right now. These are the voices we need to listen to. Subscribe rate and review now!!!!

  • Glimmers of possibility

    Ayana’s book is great. This podcast is great. In a world seemingly racing to self destruct, knowing people like Ayana and her guests are out there doing magnificent work to reverse the trend gives me the glimmer of possibility that maybe, just maybe, we aren’t doomed.

    Ayana, if you happen to read this, thank you.

This podcast reminds us that it is still possible to dream up a better future because without those dreams we have no blueprint to make it a reality. Thank you for asking the question, “What if we get it right?” This was what I needed at this moment to start healing my soul. It is truly chicke... more
