In Chronological Order–
ROWEN M WHITE on Seed Rematriation and Fertile Resistance /193
An ode to this “talisman of adaptation and creativity,” our interview with Rowen circles Native seeds, the myth of individual self sufficiency, the cultural dimensions of biodiversity, biocolonialism and safeguarding agricultural heritage against patenting, seed work as slow work, and reweaving cultures of belonging.
BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE on Creative Decolonization in a Global Village ⌠ENCORE⌡/192
Buffy shares with us her story and how we can authentically grow our creativity in contemporary times.

Lama ROD OWENS on Liberatory Rage /191
Together with Owens, we explore anger’s purpose in liberation. Rather than denying and feeling guilty over our anger, or policing and demonizing the anger of another, how can we allow it to alert us to imbalance and injustice?
ANJALI NATH UPADHYAY, M.A.² on Radical Unlearning /190
Anjali shares how in order to truly support liberatory work and movements, we must unlearn, otherwise, we will continue to create harm. In recognizing our illusions and perceptions, we are able to ensure that our impact and intentions are in alignment.
JACKIE WANG on Carceral Capitalism /189
Explore the pervasiveness of debt, our temporal and spatial understandings of prisons, and the technological dimensions of surveillance and incarceration. We ask how we can resist the accession of predictive policing and what can digital carceral infrastructure reveal about the state’s growing surveillance apparatus?
DeeplyRooted: Honoring our Ancestors and the Earth with LEAH PENNIMAN /188
Penniman guides us through an adaptation of a Haitian prayer from her maternal lineage that honors the forces of nature and our ancestors. Leah’s gracious offering invites us to open ourselves to the elements of the Earth that shape our lives.

"The Well" by brontë velez /186
brontë reminds us that “Black wellness is the antithesis to state violence” (Mark Anthony Johnson) and during these times of great transformation and tension, we must prioritize Black wellness and communal care.
TRICIA HERSEY on Rest as Resistance /185
With a historical analysis of slavery and plantation labor, Tricia’s work prompts us to consider what is stolen from those among us who cannot rest under capitalism, laying the groundwork for deep inquiry into the emergent possibilities of “DreamSpace.”
Homebound: Embodying the Revolution with brontë velez /184
Many of us are feeling pulled in this time, towards grief, towards urgency...towards feelings of helplessness. This week we invite you to shatter these repetitions and take a moment of intentional slowness to ask: How can I decompose violence in this life? Are urgency and intentionality compatible? What are the vessels that will carry us through these troubled times?
CRAIG SANTOS PEREZ on Habitat Threshold /183
We discuss parenting and caring in the Anthropocene, the connection between tourism and militarism, Guåhan’s layered history and his most recent book of eco-poetry Habitat Threshold, which intimately explores ancestry, ecological collapse and the ongoing legacy of capitalism, imperialism and colonization.
Homebound: The Roots and Shoots of Earth-based Community with STARHAWK /182
Starhawk’s call to bring together tools of spiritual empowerment with activism, asks us to critically examine systems of control and domination and our responses to them – including areas where we may be giving our power away unknowingly to so-called authority figures and/or systems and where sources of spiritual power may have been forcibly removed.
MARCIA BJORNERUD on Finding Humility in Our Geologic Past /181
Explore the notion of “timefulness” and healing our relationship with time, the marvel of mountain-building, the necessity of multigenerational spaces, mass extinction events of the geologic past, change as constant, and the brilliant complexity of Earth’s systems.
Homebound: Transforming Toxic Movement Culture with THE WILDFIRE PROJECT /180
As we listen to what Joshua Kahn, BJ Star, and Michael Storm share with us, we wonder: How can anger serve us in times of transformation? What is the value in challenging ourselves to be a part of what is not perfect? How can exercising our power be a just necessity?
LAUREN REGAN on Grey Intelligence and Environmental Activism /179
Ayana and Lauren begin by discussing the necessity defense in context to the climate crisis. Other topics discussed include “critical energy infrastructure” felonies, how the oil and gas industry subverts democracy, digital surveillance and the importance of community solidarity in grassroots activism.
Homebound: Confronting Crisis with Divine Dignity with ANDREW HARVEY /178
Harvey gives us a map of mystical teachings to help us navigate the dark night of the soul and to emerge empowered.
TEJU ADISA-FARRAR on Remapping Our World /177
Teju discusses how gentrification originates through the calculated and supremacist devaluation of place, its environmental impacts, and urbanization and urban futures in response to climate and economic migration and changes.
Deeply Rooted: And God is the Water with LYLA JUNE /176
Lyla June gifts us with a poem that rides with the rushing current of Creation and beckons us to wade into the ever-moving stream of life. Allow Lyla’s poem to wash over you, to uplift your capacity to find strength, forgiveness and connection in times of adversity.
Homebound: Eco-Justice in the Age of Disasters with JACQUI PATTERSON /175
Jacqui reminds us that we must strategically address the needs of our communities; when we work to uplift those at the bottom - we all rise.
ANTONIA JUHASZ on the New Age of Big Oil /174
With a global market in free fall, a rising climate activism movement, and the uncertainty of elections on the horizon, this episode tackles a set of essential, timely questions: How has the fracking boom radically transformed communities, ecologies, and life in states across the country? Why are oil prices crashing and how does this reflect an industry in debt, teetering on the brink of collapse?
