Autumn is hosting another show and you're gonna love it! In the Season Four premiere of the Climate Changed podcast, Autumn talks with Tory Stephens, a storyteller, cultural worker, and climate justice advocate.They explore the transformative power of climate fiction and its role in helping us envision the future. Tory discusses his groundbreaking work at Grist, where he founded Imagine 2200, an initiative that asks a simple yet radical question: What if we wrote stories not about what we fear but about what we hope to create? The discussion dives into how imagination connects with responsibility, how storytelling serves as a profound form of spiritual leadership, and why envisioning a new reality is essential for climate justice.---TRANSCRIPT---Resources & Concepts Mentioned:Thrutopia: Coined by philosopher Rupert Read and popularized by author Manda Scott through the Thrutopia Masterclass, a Thrutopian narrative threads the needle between utopia and dystopia.

A Flirtation with Capitalism with Jenn Kidwell and Brandon Kazen-Maddox
The sisters are ecstatic to welcome OBIE Award-winning artist Jenn Kidwell and ASL artist Brandon Kazen-Maddox to discuss “we come to collect: a flirtation, with capitalism,” a play which invites "you to roll in the pigsty of American consumerism." The New Yorker calls Kidwell "a comic genius in a leopard-print bra and puffball coat."In this episode, we learn how the play emerged, where its accretion of collaborators came from, mirror as metaphor and set-piece, the artistry of ASL and why everyone should learn it and how this striking work of art asks audiences to literally give Jenn money!---TRANSCRIPT---SUPPORT OUR SHOWhttps://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow---HTS ESSENTIALSSUPPORT Our Show on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/EndoftheworldshowPEEP us on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/

CORRECTED: Freedom Practice in an Unfree World
Some of you may have gotten the wrong audio when we posted this episode on 11/21/25. SORRY!Today we're thrilled to feature the recent interview featuring Autumn from Next Economy Now with Ryan Honeyman. In this episode, she shares her journey of moving from cooperative leadership at AORTA into a new phase of life focused on music, writing, and martial arts, as well as her forthcoming book on fugitivity. At the heart of her work is the question: how do we practice freedom in an unfree world? Together, Autumn and Ryan dive into what has shifted since 2020—exploring the backlash to racial justice movements, the difference between symbolic versus relational change, and why so much of today’s organizing can feel performative when not grounded in real relationship. Autumn emphasizes the need to move beyond fear, resentment, or judgment and instead organize from love, courage, and grief—energies that replenish rather than deplete. The conversation touches on coalition building across difference, how to choose when to hold firm and when to meet people where they are, and what it means to reach for governing power while staying rooted in liberatory practice.Toward the end, the two reflect on martial arts as a surprising but powerful practice for those committed to nonviolence. Autumn shares how Aikido has reshaped her relationship to conflict and power, while Ryan reflects on his own entry into boxing as a healthy channel for rage and resilience. Though a smaller part of the discussion, it underscores a central theme: the practices that help us stay grounded, embodied, and awake are essential to sustaining movements and our lives within them.Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Autumn Brown: https://www.iambrown.org/ Autumn Brown on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autumn-brown-0bab514/ Autumn Brown on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autumnmeghanbrown/ How to Survive the End of the World: https://endoftheworldshow.org/ Stay Connected To Next Economy News with their Newsletter!

A Mother's Letter
Hi Beloveds. We’re back with an episode to share from another show we love. Radio Workshop trains youth across Africa to make radio and podcasts. They provide the tools and teach the skills. Youth bring their creativity, local knowledge, and passion for tackling the issues that matter to them and their communities. On today’s show...Rihanna was just 19 years old when she was arrested for being trans in Uganda. It was 2014. She spent 9 months in prison - an ordeal that tore a rift between her and her God-fearing mother. In this episode, we hear how her arrest radically changed the course of their lives - and how Rihanna’s mom unexpectedly became a staunch ally. This is the second in our two-part series on LGBTQ rights in Uganda, as the Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023 turns a year old. This is A Mother’s Letter from Radio Workshop

I'm the Hell
The sisters convene to consider the realizion that aging means being in grief all the time but continuing, nonetheless, writing in the bath, taking responsibility for our inner state, the free Chani Breakthrough Course, the dream job of being a backup vocalist, political youth theatre, awesome kids learning from awesome parents, conflicted perpetrators and the sisters' personal journey on that pathway, 9/11, what it means to be an American, the disorientation and nausea of "What the hell? I'm the hell!", leaving cults when you realized it all made sense till it didn't, how Robin Hood triggered anti-authoritarianism, the rich history of student organizing at Columbia, the normalization of being at the top of a military superpower, the big question of 'is anything real?', having a different kind of conversation with your parents, sitting with the ocean, the cult of purity, fugitive resistance as a way of resisting the ideology of the state, figuring out how to not shop on Amazon, moving from cult to cult, needing a new belief system, and how solidarity is the only salve once you recognize that you're in the perpetrator role.---TRANSCRIPT---SUPPORT OUR SHOWhttps://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow---HTS ESSENTIALSSUPPORT Our Show on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/EndoftheworldshowPEEP us on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/
