Episode One

We have two guests on Episode One.

Seth Donnelly joins us to talk about Taxpayers Against Genocide and their work to hold our elected officials accountable for their support of genocidal acts such as funding arms for the conflict in Palestine. Seth Donnelly is the author of The Lie of Global Prosperity: How Neoliberals Distort Data to Mask Poverty and Exploitation. He teaches high school in northern California. 

Then we talk with story teller and end-of-life doula Dr. Kim Bateman about how grief manifests in today's political climate. We also discuss ways to bridge the chasm many of us feel when communicating with people who don't share our political beliefs--or our news sources. Kim Bateman is the author of the Indie award winning book Crossing the Owl's Bridge: A Guide for Grieving People Who Still Love. She is the Executive Dean of Sierra College's Tahoe-Truckee campus, where she teaches a popular course on death and dying.
