Featured guest Ray Katz started and currently leads The Saners, a group dedicated to preventing climate collapse and building a better civilization worldwide. He holds a BA in Economics from Stonybrook University as well as an MBA from Fordham University and he co-founded one of the first web development agencies in Philadelphia in 1994. Katz first appeared on The Leftscape in Episode 160, "Saving the Planet With Joy." He returns to spread the word on the bold ideals and expanded objectives adopted by The Saners, their partnership with General Strike U.S., and to put forth actions and atitudes we can all take on to survive and thrive in these particularly challenging times.
Co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée introduce several new show segments. In Timeline Cleanse, Robin reflects on a friend's statement about self-care and Wendy speaks of the power of getting one's hands dirty. Wendy shares a few simple and immediate political and financial actions we can all take in Pièce de Résistance, Robin reads a personal essay, "Concentric Circles," and Wendy reads the first lesson from Timothy D. Snyder's On Tyrrany.
