Hey, I’ve got a small favor to ask: if you’ve really enjoyed one or another of the Lifepod episodes we’ve published so far, can I ask you to share it with one or two friends you think would also appreciate it? https://lifepod.transistor.fm/
What I’m trying to build with this project is a community, not merely a passive “audience.” Thanks so much for your support and encouragement, as always — it is a solid stoke, on a daily basis, to hear how much these stories are resonating with you.
The podcast about taking care of ourselves in a world on fire, hosted by Adam Greenfield. Featuring conversations about autonomy, mutual care and collective power in a time of universal crisis, Lifepod is dedicated to the proposition that nobody is riding to our rescue — that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
