Liz Truss, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, says she wants to be part of the “second American revolution” — “Trump-style.” With “Britian heading for bankruptcy,” “grooming gangs,” unchecked immigration, and the rising threat of Islamism, is it too late to Make Europe Great Again? Despite an unhinged deep state and free-speech crackdowns, Liz Truss still has hope, which is why she is working on a new media venture to rival the BBC. She exposes how the Bank of England “turned on her” and then marvels at the incompetence of Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney before offering a chilling warning: “If we do not turn this around within 10 years, the West is finished.”           GLENN'S SPONSORS          Relief Factor          Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

Why do some nations thrive while others collapse? Tolstoy's famous quote applies to economies—successful nations share key traits, while failed states unravel in distinctive ways. From corruption and weak institutions to war and economic mismanagement, history reveals clear patterns of failure. This video examines why countries like Barbados, the Congo, and Yemen have struggled, while South Korea has transformed into a global powerhouse. Can struggling nations liberate themselves from these cycles? Watch now to uncover the anatomy of a failed state! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

 In this thought-provoking episode, Christopher Brown—lawyer, novelist, and urban naturalist— takes us on a journey through the landscape around his home in Austin, Texas, the edgelands where the city meets the wild. Drawing from his latest book, A Natural History of Empty Lots, Christopher explores the resilience of urban ecosystems, the unexpected biodiversity thriving in neglected spaces, and the connections between land, politics, and justice in an era of climate disruption. This is a compelling dialogue about the uneasy balance between human civilization and the natural world—and how rethinking our relationship with wild spaces could reshape the cities of tomorrow. We delve into the intersections of rewilding, environmental justice, and the unfolding polycrisis, unpacking what these abandoned landscapes can teach us about adaptation, resilience, and envisioning a more livable future. This episode includes readings from A Natural History of Empty Lots, and excerpts of a new sound composition by Cat Byrne, Clapton edgelands (i), gathered in the Lea Valley, Clapton, London, during November 2024.  Christopher Brown is an American author and attorney based in Austin, Texas, renowned for his work in both science fiction and nature-focused nonfiction. His latest book, A Natural History of Empty Lots, published in October 2024, is a blend of nature writing, literary nonfiction, and memoir that explores the intersection of urban environments and wild nature.  Brown's debut novel, Tropic of Kansas (2017), was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. He continued to explore speculative themes with Rule of Capture (2019) and its sequel, Failed State (2020), the latter of which was nominated for the 2021 Philip K. Dick Award.  In addition to his writing, Brown practices law and authors the urban nature newsletter Field Notes. You can subscribe to Chris' excellent Fieldnotes newsletter here: https://fieldnotes.christopherbrown.com/ Cat Byrne is a DJ, radio host, and forest researcher from East London. She hosts the monthly radio show, Biorhythms w/ Cat, on Balamii Radio, where she explores natural sounds, textured rhythms, and percussive down-tempo, and also a live place-based radio show on RTM, Listening From. Cat is also a keen field recordist, weaving her own field recordings throughout her sets.

I'm delighted to be joined in conversation by Christopher Brown, author of A Natural History of Empty Lots, field notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys & other wild places. In this captivating conversation Chris' lyrical descriptions take us on a beautiful journey, as we join him in stepping off the pavement into a world where nature has adapted to thrive in the most unlikely of environments at the heart of our urbanised landscapes. He describes his ambitious plan to create a home for his family on an industrialised wasteland where he has miraculously balanced their needs in a way that also allows him to actively seek to share the space with other species. Chris reminds us that rewildling doesn't require the depopulation of humans & that there is an intrinsic link between the social & economic injustices in our world & the damaged relationship we have with the natural world & the land we live on. But he also encourages us to remember that nature has an incredible ability to respond to the opportunities we make for her & that we don't have to wait for global institutions to take the lead we ourselves can be the catalysts for change in remaking a new world.Christopher Brown is the Philip K. Dick, World Fantasy, and John W. Campbell Award-nominated author of the novels Tropic of Kansas, Rule of Capture, and Failed State. Also an accomplished lawyer, he has worked on two Supreme Court confirmation hearings, led the technology corporate practice of a major American law firm, and has been the general counsel of two public companies.A Natural History of Empty Lots by Christopher Brown is a genre-bending blend of naturalism, memoir, and social manifesto for rewilding the city, the self, and society. Through his keen examination of abandoned industrial sites, empty lots, and deserted agricultural land, Brown discovers that even in these so-called "ruined landscapes" nature's resilience shines. Inspired by its unfailing persistence to return, Brown shows us how easy it can be to bring the wilds back to these damaged places and why it is critical that we do.Over the course of twenty years, Brown documented these liminal spaces, explored them with his son, and even built his home in Austin, Texas on a brownfield site bisected by oil pipelines. Infused with Brown's deep love of nature and a constant sense of awe, A Natural History of Empty Lots combines field notes from Brown's travels with his personal story as he traverses the nexus of the city and the wilds.Offering a new lens on human disruption and wild lands, he reminds readers of the magic in nature, “the seemingly supernatural wonders produced by everyday interactions among different elements of the natural world. Things that can all be explained by science, but also understood by poets. Even in the most urbanized human terrains, those wonders can still be found—most often at the edges where the pavement ends and the wild is allowed to express.”Website: https://christopherbrown.com/Support the showThank you for being part of this journey with me, please Subscribe so you don't miss our future episodes, leave a review & share with friends to help these messages ripple out across the world.

//The Wire//2300Z December 9, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: DANIEL PENNY FOUND NOT GUILTY, BLM PLANNING DEMONSTRATIONS. ISRAEL CONTINUES INVASION OF SYRIA. TURKEY POSSIBLY BEGINS INVASION OF SYRIA. USA CONDUCTS BOMBING CAMPAIGN IN SYRIA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Celebrations continue in Damascus as the leadership of the nation remains in question. So far, the most likely candidate to emerge on top is the current leader of HTS, Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani. Jawlani is a highly controversial figure who initially rose to power within al-Qaeda before becoming the leader of the “rebel” group which has seized control of the country. Following the fall, both Israel and the United States have carried out extremely significant deliberate targeting campaigns, which largely appear to have the goal of scorching the earth for any group that might come to power throughout what has become a Failed State.AC: Israel also continues their ground invasion from the Golan Heights, increasing their “buffer zone” to an unknown degree. Turkey has also been reported to have invaded the northern districts of Syria, likewise carving out however much of Syria they want for themselves, though at the moment reports are mixed as to how much Turkish forces have advanced beyond their pre-2019 incursion limits.South Korea: Following a vote in Parliament on Saturday, President Yoon has survived his impeachment attempt, and for now will remain the President.AC: Details regarding last-week's martial law escapade have become public following inquiries into the matter. Of note, more soldiers than previously known were activated and ordered to seize critical infrastructure, communications facilities, and various political buildings in Seoul. However, initial investigation has revealed that most of the soldiers deliberately took their time in complying with this order, which had the effect of allowing the Parliament the precious time to conduct a vote to nullify the state of martial law.-HomeFront-New York: Daniel Penny has been found not guilty on all charges. Immediately upon this announcement, demonstrations began, including a large-scale sit-in of Times Square. BLM leadership has directly and openly called for violent attacks to be carried out on Daniel Penny, and has encouraged BLM activists to conduct other attacks as well.USA: Various healthcare and/or insurance providers have sharply increased the security practices of senior leadership in the wake of the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. Medica closed their headquarters building “out of an abundance of caution”, and several pharmaceutical companies (such as CVS) have removed all photographs and leadership details from their websites. Many companies have reportedly required employees to sign/agree to some form of morality pledge, or mandated various ethics training sessions. More significantly, many companies have also reported hiring armed security for chief executives.AC: Though the wicked flee when no one pursues, the efforts by companies to protect their leadership are more indicative of their faith in law enforcement, or more accurately their lack of it.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The U.S. State Department has not commented on what the current standard is for national sovereignty. Currently, one nation in the Middle East has invaded a grand total of three of their neighboring nations, all with active American support. However, in Europe, one nation has invaded one of their neighbors, and the entirety of the United States government has pulled out all of the stops to counter that action. This detail is once again causing questions to be asked that most Americans are not yet ready to accept the answer for. Until that time, when frank discussions can be had without one losing their entire livelihood for asking a question, the status quo will remain.

Reports of dysfunction and unhappiness at the centre of government have led to Sue Gray's departure as the prime minister's chief of staff. In an effort to reset his top team, Keir Starmer has replaced Gray with Morgan McSweeney, and has also made a number of other key appointments to his No.10 operation.   So what does this restructuring tell us about how Starmer wants to run his centre of government? What lessons should be taken from the difficulties – and disagreements – at the centre that have hindered Labour's first 100 days in power? And what else needs to change to ensure No.10, the Cabinet Office and the Treasury deliver for the prime minister?   The IfG's final report of the Commission on the Centre of Government examined why the centre has failed successive prime ministers – and the early experiences of Keir Starmer's administration have underlined, yet again, the urgent need to implement the Centre Commission's seven recommendations for radical reform to create strengthened, united political leadership at the heart of government.   This webinar explored Gray's exit, assess Starmer's reset, and discuss the IfG's recommendations for reform.   Our expert panel included:   Sam Freedman, Author of Failed State and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government Dr Catherine Haddon, Programme Director at the Institute for Government Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government   This event was chaired by Tim Durrant, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

Welcome to Part 2 of my talk with Christopher Brown, author of the brand new book, “A Natural History of Empty Lots,” as well as the science fiction novel, “Tropic of Kansas” and the legal thrillers “Rule of Capture” and “Failed State.” - How there were “not a lot of huggers” in his family, and how that relates to his desire to get better at engaging emotionally in his writing, versus just telling a good story - Using a regular newsletter to write your way into a longer work - The challenge of weaving together different genres in one body of work–in his case, memoir, nature writing, and literary nonfiction - The challenge in outlining what your book will be about in a book proposal and actually writing a book that matches that outline - How the voice you've used in short form pieces doesn't wholly translate to long-form (i.e., the medium is the message) - When things you read 40 years ago pop up to influence your current work (i.e., another plug for reading widely) - A common reality in modern publishing–your editor leaves in the middle of your book getting published, and how to navigate that - Figuring out how to turn a narrative of colonization–something we've all been so exposed to its part of our collective subconscious fabric–into a narrative of decolonization - The questions Christopher asks himself when he's worried he's not getting something exactly right Visit Christopher at https://christopherbrown.com/ and sign up for his Field Notes newsletter at https://fieldnotes.christopherbrown.com/.

This week I am talking with Christopher Brown, author of the brand new book, “A Natural History of Empty Lots: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys, and Other Wild Places,” a blend of nature writing, literary nonfiction, and memoir that is also a manifesto for rewilding our urban spaces as well as ourselves. Christopher's other books include the legal thrillers, “Rule of Capture” and “Failed State,” and his debut science fiction novel “Tropic of Kansas.” Christopher also writes the popular urban nature newsletter Field Notes. Also a lawyer and a naturalist, Christopher has worked on two Supreme Court confirmations, rehabilitated a brownfield, built an eco bunker, protected government whistleblowers, taken two companies public, restored a small prairie, raised two amazing kids and trained a few good dogs. And that's just the shortlist. We covered: - Resisting “society's pressure to specialize” - Balancing multiple careers - How a gig at his college newspaper spawned a path that has led to some pretty varied–and cool–places, such as having lunch with a retired German prime minister, playing pool with Frank Conroy, and working at two Supreme Court confirmation hearings - Managing your own expectations for how successful you think you ought to be, and by what age - Rule number one for staying inspired as a writer - The ingenious way he taught himself to “carve out the time from a busy life of work and family to write novels that didn't suck” - How to create the conditions where you accumulate the raw material of the work - The origins of his “Field Notes” Substack Visit Christopher at https://christopherbrown.com/ and sign up for his Field Notes newsletter at https://fieldnotes.christopherbrown.com/.

As the IfG knows all too well, government sometimes – perhaps often – doesn't seem to work. So who or what is to blame? Sam Freedman, IfG senior fellow and author of Failed State: Why nothing works and how to fix it, joins Hannah White for a fascinating discussion about what has gone wrong – and how to make it right.   From a stuttering civil service to a stumbling parliament, failed prime ministers and fraught permanent secretaries, Hannah and Sam take a journey through the failures of British governance – and explore what reforms the Labour government could introduce to help turn the system around.   Produced by Milo Hynes.
