The Leftscape is back after an extended holiday hiatus. Co-hosts Robin Renée and Wendy Sheridan have a casual chat and reveal a new direction for the show. Moving forward, expect less news that imitates doom-scrolling and more reporting on ways we as progressives can come together to make an impact and to nurture communities. Expect thoughtful conversations and a couple of new segments to go with old favorites.
Wendy introduces and reads the chapter titles of On Tyrrany by Timothy Snyder, which will be explored more deeply in upcoming episodes. As this minisode is posting on the eve of the 2nd inaugauration of Donald Trump, the co-hosts suggest listening, thumbing through On Tyrrany, celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and/or watching nature program re-runs rather than giving attention to the events in Washington, D.C. on January 20th.
