On this week’s EcoRadio KC, we feature another episode of Aunt Lainie’s Kitchen podcast.  Produced each week by KKFI volunteer, Lainie Renee, listeners can gather round the table to hear interviews and conversations centering around food and beverage in the Kansas City Metro area.   https://auntlainieskitchen.com/   EcoRadio KC is lucky that Lainie allows us to feature this amazing podcast. Tonight, we will hear What October Means to Me. October can have many meanings to people. October is the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere, with cooler weather and falling leaves. Today, October has a federal holiday - Columbus Day - better known as Indigenous Peoples Day. This day officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas, however, approximately 29 states, Washington, D.C. and about 216 cities have renamed it or replaced it with Indigenous Peoples Day. The main reason Columbus Day draws opposition is because of how the colonization of the New World negatively affected Indigenous people with disease, enslavement and famine. At the end of our hour, Aunt Lainie has provided a bonus bite.   We support the work for a future in which humans flourish as members of a thriving ecosphere. We are all in this together and it will take all of us to make the world safe. This will be a great radio hour!   “The whole world is one neighborhood.”  Franklin D. Roosevelt
