Everybody Now - a podcast by eli

Some friends and fellow podcasters collaborated to put this together and were gracious enough to offer it to Way Good Life. So.  Savor this. These are poets and artists. Farmers and scientists. Also regular people.  Thinking. Hoping. Praying. Planting... and just living for all of us. Give a listen. Be encouraged. Join in. 

Of course, regular ol' Eli out of Salty City Utah will be back this Thursday.

And maybe we'll have election results by then, so thats fun...ish. unless it's it's not.   

Everybody Now is a podcast about what it means to be human on the threshold of a global climate emergency, in a time of systemic injustice and runaway pandemics. Scientists, activists, farmers, poets, and theologians talk bravely and frankly about how our biosphere is changing, about grief and hope in an age of social collapse and mass extinction, and about taking action against all the odds.

From 19th October 2020, podcasters all over the world began releasing Everybody Now as a collective call for awareness, grief and loving action.
