A
live public affairs program focusing on investigating and analyzing
environmental issues from a global perspective. Our hope is both to
bring key international perspectives to listeners, as well as make
the issues relevant to northern California listeners. When reviewing
issues for show content and recruiting guests, we strive for a balance
of both gender and social justice in every show, and look to provide
opportunities for in depth dialogues with those whose perspectives
are not always given a voice. We also enjoy bringing music and spoken
word into segment breaks that are representative of the bioregions
and political perspectives being explored on the show. About
