Uncivilize Jennifer Grayson Uncivilize is a journalistic exploration of the human rewilding movement—bringing you the stories of pioneers who have “left” our modern industrialized world behind to forge radically alternative lives in the 21st century. Using the long lens of human history (read: evolutionary biology, anthropology, indigenous knowledge and cultural history), each episode examines a future existence that could not only restore balance to an imperiled planet, but reclaim humanity’s original, inborn connection to the natural world. Hosted by Los Angeles-based environmental journalist and award-winning author (UNLATCHED, 2017 Rachel Carson Environment Book Award) Jennifer Grayson. Theme music: Paul Damian Hogan.
