“I trust this podcast to help me break through my avoidance of climate change news. Why?
Each episode is alive to the reality of ecological crisis without blind optimism. Ayana Young and each guest is committed to courageous contemplation of how the violence of capitalism and systemic oppression has and is wounding each being of the planet.
It is easy to fall into despair and paralysis from this kind of questioning. I come to this podcast because it speaks to the difficult necessity of responding to the climate crisis with spirit, grief, and love. The podcast is also committed to featuring the voices of indigenous peoples, people of color, and queer folks, which is one of the many reasons I support this podcast on Patreon.
Sidenote: as a college student, I am constantly being asked how I plan to make a living and how I’m going to earn money—but I’ve always known that I need to ask a different question of living and working in this historical moment. When it is hard to see examples in my ordinary life, this podcast introduces me to people who are doing the Work and reminds me of my calling to do the same. I am deeply indebted to and grateful for the wisdom and work of EVERYONE involved with this podcast. It helps me remember the power and the responsibilities that I have as a being on this planet. When Western society does its best to isolate us from each other, the voices on this podcast call me into my kinship with all beings.
Some of my favorite recent episodes: Dr. Bayo Akomolafe (155), Lyla June (147), Pavini Moray (144, 145), Kurt Russo (127) Michael Meade (124), and Adrienne Maree Brown (115).”

“I was excited for the content but Ayana Young is a vapid, narcissistic host. Guests may be interesting people but she does not showcase them in any meaningful way. She spends more time virtue signaling. Yet another priveledged white female telling you how to think.”
