  • My new favorite podcast

    Excellent interviews that have really helped me cope with climate and collapse anxiety. The information is deep and thoroughly researched and sometimes grim, but never sugar-coated. Despite the seriousness of the topic, I always feel heartened after listening to each episode. Highly recommend to everyone who cares about our beautiful Earth and humanity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FRANCIS WELLER: “Grief will wake us up”…so how do we do good grief again?
Q: How can listeners begin to grieve in a more collective way?
Start with simple, private rituals or small gatherings where people can share loss without advice or judgment; create a regular space for naming what is being lost and allow the unspeakable to be spoken.
FRANCIS WELLER: “Grief will wake us up”…so how do we do good grief again?
Q: Why is grief such an important human practice in this era?
Grief acts as a form of resistance to numbness, reawakening our hearts, keeping us open to love, and enabling a more embodied, connected, and resilient way of living in the face of ecological and cultural decline.
FRANCIS WELLER: “Grief will wake us up”…so how do we do good grief again?
Q: What is grief and how do we feel it?
Grief is the heart's registration of loss and the recognition that we are inseparably tied to the wider life of the world; it is not just personal pain but a collective experience that requires communal containers to metabolize and transform it.
ZAK STEIN: How do we raise kids in a metacrisis?
Q: What should a 17-18-year-old heading into a precarious job market study now?
Study philosophy and history to gain situational awareness and the ability to stay in touch with reality, and choose paths that cultivate reflective thinking and core human skills rather than chasing short-term employment metrics.
AUDREY TANG: Can we wrangle AI off the techno-fascists (and make it a force for good)?
Q: What concrete campaigns demonstrate this approach in action?
Campaigns like deploying Polis-based co-creation for Uber in Taiwan, school hours reform informed by youth input, and countering scam ads through joint liability show how civic tech can shape policy and behavior.
