GDs Heart Wildlife: why we should care about parasites Jan 17, 2019

Yes, the mere mention of parasites makes most of us wince and itch. But there are those that are concerned about some parasites' extinction. Of course, not all parasites are created equal and certainly humans would wish for a few of them to evaporate into biological history. Find out why we should be a bit concerned from John Platt from The Revelator (publication of The Center for Biological Diversity) and The Extinction Countdown.

Hear great commentary from meteorologist Paul Douglas and Peter Monroe from Citizens Climate Lobby. And GD Max & GD Wayne each pick a potential 2020 democratic presidential candidate to highlight. Was supposed to be sort of a debate, but nothing much to debate yet, so just getting to know some of the early hopefuls.

GD Spirit Pub: Surrender Dec 13, 2018

Show notes

To some of us raising the white flag and surrendering seems impossible, but when you've done it and experienced the sweet relief, you'll want to try it again and again. Drawing from the 12 steps of AA, A Course In Miracles, Albert Einstein and their own experiences, GD Meg and WG Julie talk about why spiritual surrender is so important (if you want to find any peace of mind), and just how you can go about it.

A year after an ordinance that would ban horse-drawn carriages in Chicago was introduced into City Council, it languishes in committee. Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins and Jodie Wiederkehr from Chicago Alliance for Animals talk about whether carriage horses are mistreated, and whether it makes sense to ban them entirely in major urban areas.
