The Fire These Times Elia Ayoub Where doom scrolling meets radical hope. “The Fire These Times is a place where we tell our hardest truths, and find one another" - Naomi Klein.Hosted by Elia Ayoub with co-hosts Dana El Kurd, Daniel Voskoboynik, israa' and other members of the From The Periphery Media Collective. Explicit This Sustainable Life Joshua Spodek: Author, Speaker, Professor Do you care about the environment but feel “I want to act, but if no one else does, it won't make a difference,” and “But if you don't solve everything, it isn't worth doing anything”?We are the antidote! You're not alone. Hearing role models overcome the same feelings to enjoy acting on their values creates meaning, purpose, community, and emotional reward.Want to improve as a leader? Bestselling author, 3-time TEDx speaker, leadership speaker, coach, and professor Joshua Spodek, PhD, MBA, brings joy and inspiration to acting on the environment. You'll learn to lead without relying on authority.We bring you leaders from many areas — business, politics, sports, arts, education, and more — to share their expertise for you to learn from. We then ask them to share and act on their environmental values. That's leadership without authority — so they act for their reasons, not out of guilt, blame, doom, gloom, or someone telling them what to do. Explicit What Do We Call This Podcast? Kalyn Bree The title says it all, folks! Literally, what is this podcast? I’m just a clueless 20-something enjoying great conversations with people each week that I think would benefit anyone trying to find a brief escape from the reality we’re currently in. Not that the world is all doom and gloom but maybe this is just a time for you that isn’t listening to the news or doom scrolling… Or maybe it is... To each their own. Let’s go on a journey together and see what’s to come:) Explicit America, Who Hurt You? The Meteor, Foment Productions Our country has always been a hot mess. But now, between political rage, climate crises and social-media polarization, it’s quite literally on fire. This low-key mid-apocalyptic moment has raised a question for Tony-award-winning Sarah Jones and her many characters: America, Who Hurt You?Bookended by the debates, dialogues, and hilarious digressions of the characters made famous by Sarah’s one-person shows and acclaimed film Sell/Buy/Date, this podcast explores our political dramas, personal traumas, and how the two are connected. Plus: we’ll have some of the smartest people we know stop by to sit with Sarah and unpack it all. America, Who Hurt You? holds up a loving but accurate mirror to our country’s range of faces as we try to save democracy—or at least stop doom-scrolling. Explicit
