Season 7 Reflection

The Heartwood Podcast team (Dr. Thomas Easley, Isaac Carroo, and I) entered the 7th season of the podcast. We are continuing on a tradition of introspection and radical care in our discussions with people who are active in the environmental field. We were joined by phenomenal guests like Ananya Rao, Prof. Gerald Torres, Micky Fearn, and Sharyn Lopez. They shared their insights on watching out for others and bringing more to the communities they are part of. Many of them shared their vision for the future and updates on major projects they are working on. While I love all of the conversations we had with guests, some episodes that stick out to me are:

• Reflections for the Future with the Yale Center for Environmental Justice (Guests: Prof. Gerald Torres and Dr. Michel Gelobter)

• Interlaced Impacts: Exploring Solidarity and International Environmentalism (Guests: Ananya Rao and Fiacro Jimenez Ramirez)

• Digging in the Dirt with Dr. Willie James Jennings

Tune in when you get a chance, and you will not regret it! If you want to hear someone on the podcast, please reach out to one of the team members, and we will see what we can do to make that happen!

The latest season is currently available in full on YouTube and will be released on all major streaming platforms through the winter!
