Show Description/Notes

Sometimes you just wanna hear from someone else. In this bonus episode, Alex Leff enters Crazy Town to introduce his podcast, Human Nature Odyssey. Before playing the first episode of the podcast, Jason, Rob, and Asher find lots of laughs with Alex as they contemplate environmental destruction, gorilla suits, the fate of civilization, tandem bike rides, imaginary games, and how to make a podcast. If you need a little more encouragement to check out Human Nature Odyssey, our friend Tom Murphy (author of the Do the Math blog) gives it his highest recommendation.

By Gina Umney, Transition Together

Crafting the Right Questions: Pathfinding for cultural concepts to move beyond a narrow definition of progress

By Isaac Edmonds, Resilience.org

To give the biosphere, humanity included, the best possible chance of surviving and flourishing through deep time, we must acknowledge limits to growth and re-learn our being in this world through cultural concepts that (re)couple our future to that of all living things.
