For The Wild is honored to be “episode swapping” with the How to Survive the End of the World podcast, hosted by adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown this week! Known for “learning from the apocalypse with grace, rigor, and curiosity” this episode, initially released in May 2022 is all about love.
“What is it? Why does it happen? Why does it hurt so bad? Why does it feel so good? And how might it help us survive as a species? All these questions and more get introduced, and some of them start to get answers.”
Adrienne and Autumn dedicate this season of the podcast to bell hooks and her work all about love: NEW VISIONS. This episode grounds the season’s focus on love in a conversation about what it means to actively love as a part of survival. As adrienne and Autumn discuss the joys of witnessing love in the face of despair, the accountability that comes with true love, and the growth and nourishment made possible through love, they impart deep wisdom about how to cherish this world for all it has given us.
We hope you enjoy this gift of an episode and feel the love that surrounds it!

Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown are two sisters who share many identities, as writers, activists, facilitators, and inheritors of multiracial diasporic lineages, as well as a particular interest in the question of survival. Together, they embark on a podcast that delves into the practices we need as a community, to move through endings and to come out whole on the other side, whatever that might be.
