(a podcast about what brings social movements together and drives them apart) about despair!This time Sarah and Max go deep and dark with questions like... Should we just give up hope? Should we embrace nostalgia?And should we stop being sad and… just do something?But wait! Who is that on the bleak horizon? It’s climate-corruption journalist Rachel Donald of the Planet Critical podcast, joining us to deliver the tough love and a shot of common courage!It’s podcasting that will make you feel cruelly optimistic or your money back (it’s also free).  Fore more information, visit https://senseandsolidarity.org/podcast/#despair This is a public episode.
