Dear Friends,

Money. Politics. Religion. Those are everyone’s top-three choices for Thanksgiving dinner conversation, right? Ok, not so much.

But maybe they should be, since each has a role to play in fueling the endless growth paradigm — which is neither physically, economically, nor spiritually sustainable.

On this week’s program, we tackle the confluence of those three forces. Mark Clipsham (architect, builder, DJ) is my in-studio guest. We’re joined by five callers who share differing and provocative perspectives.

I’ll admit to having had no idea which way this conversation was going to roll, but I’m pleased with how it turned out. I hope you’ll give it a listen and share your feedback.

During the program’s final ten minutes — our Farm and Food segment — Kathy Byrnes and I offer up our January Garden Q & A. We answer questions about ordering seeds, starting plants indoors, and because we’re of Irish descent and can’t help ourselves, planting potatoes.

I’ll keep this week’s message super short. (And the people said, “Thank God!”) Back next week with an update on CO2 pipelines and more.
