After discovering this grassroots, real news that matters station, I can’t live without it. I listen to less podcasts as a result because I never want to stop listening in the middle of a report. I’ve learned about so many helpful, informative books and organizations to join and actually contribute to cultivating a cohesive, thriving community and make change for all for good. I am much better informed and educated on the current reality of global and local politics. Thank you with all my heart.
