A moving study of how religion shapes Western climate discourse.   Our ecological system is disturbed, and with it, every other system we've built to inhabit it. We do not face inevitable destruction, yet many of us cannot conceive of climate change as anything but the end of the world, an apocalypse with all its biblical trappings. Why? In A Perturbed System, anthropologist Susannah Crockford argues that we must understand the climate emergency as a spiritual crisis, a result of Christian colonialism that we (religious or not) still struggle to describe without religious language. Climate discourse in the United States and northern Europe, Crockford shows, is framed by the same theological motifs that drove extraction, including ideas about prophecy, mediation, sacrifice, original sin, cult, messiah, and apocalypse. By listening to people on the edge of the crisis, A Perturbed System reveals a world in transition, what happens when worlds end—ecologically, socially, politically, and personally—and how we might live through these endings together.    Susannah Crockford is a lecturer at the University of Exeter. She is the author of Ripples of the Universe: Spirituality in Sedona, Arizona, also published by the University of Chicago Press.   Visit Sacred Writes: https://www.sacred-writes.org/templeton-working-group   Buy the book: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/author/C/S/au86433807.html  

“The Gross National Product measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile.” — Robert F. Kennedy, University of Kansas, March 18, 1968 It is June 5, 1968. An eleven-year-old English boy is watching the assassination of Bobby Kennedy on his black and white television. That little boy is Tim Jackson — now one of Britain's most influential critics of capitalism. He had no idea then that RFK would change his life. It happened years later, when Jackson discovered a speech Kennedy gave in Kansas in the spring of 1968. It was a speech that changed the way Tim Jackson thought about economics. The March 1968 speech, one of the first of RFK's presidential campaign, was delivered at Phog Allen Fieldhouse, University of Kansas. It opened with a joke at the expense of rival Kansas State University. Then Bobby turned deadly serious. For the first time (at least for a Presidential candidate), he attacked the very idea of the Gross National Product itself. RFK argued that GDP quantifies all the worst stuff including air pollution, cigarette advertising and jails. But it doesn't measure the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It quantifies everything except that which makes life worthwhile. Then fetishizes the data. Worse than wrong, Bobby Kennedy suggested, GDP makes data evil. For Jackson, who has spent his career mulling over the idea of economic growth, RFK's Phog Allen Fieldhouse speech came as a revelation. Indeed much of his later thinking, including his 2021 award-winning book Post Growth: Life After Capitalism, is indebted to this March 1968 speech. Almost sixty years later, in our ever-more-quantifiable age of data-centres, it's a speech that appears uncannily prescient. Both Tim Jackson and Bobby Kennedy are right to remind us that there is an alternative to quantifying progress. There is, indeed, life after GDP. And it can't be measured. Five Takeaways •       An 11-Year-Old Watching the Assassination on His Birthday: Tim Jackson was born on June 4. On the night of June 4–5, 1968, after the California primary, RFK was shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Jackson — watching on a black and white television in the UK — remembers thinking: oh no, not again. His aunt had just sailed for America from Southampton. Is this the country she is going to? Two high-profile assassinations. Violence as a condition of American political life. He had no idea then that RFK would become important to him professionally two or three decades later. •       The Kansas Speech: GDP Measures Everything Except What Makes Life Worthwhile: The speech RFK gave at Phog Allen Fieldhouse, University of Kansas, March 1968 — one of the first of his presidential campaign — opened with a joke at the expense of rival Kansas State University and became one of the most prescient political speeches of the 20th century. Kennedy attacked GDP directly: it counts air pollution, cigarette advertising, and the jails for the people who break the law. It does not count the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. •       The Two Wrong Turns of Post-War Capitalism: Jackson's account: fossil fuels made mass production possible; the Great Depression revealed the danger of overproduction; the post-war solution was to persuade people that having more stuff is what matters. Two big mistakes were embedded in that solution. First: material consumption is not all we are — we have social, relational, spiritual needs that GDP ignores. Second: more production does more environmental damage. Both wrong turns are what Kennedy was already diagnosing in Kansas in 1968. Both are what we are now living with in extremis. •       The Trillionaire and the 2 Billion: The interview is recorded the day after the world's first trillionaire arrived on the scene. Jackson's response: this is an obscene amount of money for one person to have, while 2 billion people lack access to clean water and electricity. The same structural observation could be made about the 1850s: monarchs parading luxury while the people around them starved. The trillionaire is not a new phenomenon. He is the latest expression of an economic system that was always building toward this endpoint. •       They Created a Desert and Called It Peace: In the Kansas speech, RFK quoted Tacitus on Rome: “they created a desert and called it peace.” Jackson applies it directly to today's America: what is it to be a citizen of the affluent West only on the back of a flattened Gaza, a distant war, the creation of violence to preserve a failing hegemonic empire? Bobby was saying: we have values around social justice. We have a fragile planet. These are what matter. Bernie Sanders said the same things. AOC picked up the mantle. The message is unchanged. It is still Kansas, 1968. About the Guest Tim Jackson is Professor of Sustainable Development at the University of Surrey and Director of the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP). He is the author of Post Growth: Life After Capitalism (Polity Press, 2021; winner of the 2022 Eric Zencey Prize for Economics) and Prosperity Without Growth (2009/2017; Financial Times book of the year). He is also an award-winning BBC radio dramatist. He lives in Guildford, Surrey. References: •       Post Growth: Life After Capitalism by Tim Jackson (Polity Press, 2021). •       RFK's University of Kansas speech, March 18, 1968 — delivered at Phog Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, Kansas. •       Tacitus, Agricola — “they created a desert and called it peace,” quoted by RFK in the Kansas speech. •       Kerry Kennedy, Ripples of Hope — referenced in the conversation. •       Andrew Keen's forthcoming book: Where Have You Gone, Bobby Kennedy?

When someone engages with EMM, it isn't just a single “splash” in time. It's a movement of the Spirit that travels across decades, continents, and generations. 

Send us Fan MailYou can work a cardiac arrest, get pulses back, hand the patient off, and never learn what happened next. That missing chapter messes with how we measure success, how we carry trauma, and how we stay resilient over a long career in EMS and emergency medicine.We sit down with Brad Newberry, a captain paramedic with more than 40 years in fire and EMS and the founder of a major EMS education and training center, and his daughter Kiera Newberry, an EMT and emergency room technician. Together, they share the origin behind their project “The Saved Effect,” built from real resuscitation stories and the idea that saving a life is never just a moment. It's a ripple effect that can stretch across decades, families, and entire communities.We also dig into the mental side of the job: generational differences in “suck it up” culture, the pressure to stay emotionally neutral while doing deeply human work, and why so many providers never get to see the long arc of the lives they touch. Along the way, we highlight the chain of survival, the power of bystander CPR, and why learning CPR and being willing to act can change outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.If you know a responder, work in healthcare, or want a clear reason to finally take a CPR class, press play.

Paul McCartney is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose career spans more than six decades. As a member of The Beatles and later Wings and then with his own solo albums, he's simply one of the most influential artists of all time. He has more accolades than I have time to list in this intro. But if you're listening to this, you already know all that. In May 2026, he released his twentieth solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. He co-produced it with Andrew Watt, who won the 2021 Grammy for Producer of the Year, and whose credits include working with Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Justin Bieber, and Elton John. For this episode, I spoke to Paul McCartney about how he wrote and recorded his song "Ripples in a Pond." For more info, visit songexploder.net/paul-mccartney.

Are you constantly putting other people's needs before your own? Do you struggle to say no, leave unhealthy relationships, or stop carrying emotions that don't belong to you?In this episode of Ripples by Jia, I dive into a hidden survival mechanism many empaths unknowingly use: shape-shifting.Shape-shifting isn't just people-pleasing. It's an energetic protection strategy that happens when highly sensitive people absorb emotions so deeply that they begin changing themselves to avoid conflict, discomfort, or emotional overwhelm.If you've ever felt exhausted from managing other people's feelings, this conversation is for you.Remember: You do not need to shrink, shape-shift, or abandon yourself to keep the peace.Like/ follow/ comment.

Ce lundi, Margaux Lassalle met à l'honneur la légende britannique Sir Paul McCartney et son nouvel album intitulé "The Boys of Dungeon Lane". À quatre-vingt-trois ans, l'ancien membre des Beatles nous livre un disque profondément personnel, articulé autour de ses souvenirs d'enfance à Liverpool. Le titre du projet fait d'ailleurs directement référence à une rue de son ancien quartier. Co-produit par l'illustre Andrew Watt, cet album nous plonge avec nostalgie dans les jeunes années du musicien et ses premières amitiés marquantes avec George Harrison et John Lennon. Ce journal intime musical brille par sa richesse et sa variété, alternant entre douces balades et instants beaucoup plus nerveux. L'album s'ouvre sur "As You Lie There", un morceau aux changements de dynamique typiques de Paul McCartney, qui évolue d'un récit parlé vers un rock puissant. La patte moderne du producteur Andrew Watt se fait particulièrement ressentir sur le très radiophonique "Ripples in a Pond". L'émotion est également au rendez-vous avec "Down South", une touchante balade folk dans laquelle l'artiste se remémore ses trajets avec George Harrison à refaire le monde autour des guitares et du rock'n'roll. Le projet réserve aussi de très belles surprises, à l'image de l'événement "Home To Us". Sur ce titre qui évoque leurs humbles débuts dans un Liverpool ouvrier, Paul McCartney retrouve son ancien acolyte Ringo Starr, le tout sublimé par les voix de Chrissie Hynde des Pretenders et Sharleen Spiteri du groupe Texas dans les chœurs. L'album s'achève tout en grâce avec la magnifique pièce orchestrale "Momma Gets By", un vibrant hommage rendu aux femmes et aux mères. Rétrospectif, attachant et sincère, ce nouveau disque prouve une fois de plus le talent intemporel de l'artiste, dont l'énergie se déploie pleinement sur des titres directs comme "Come Inside".Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Have you heard the phase, “leadership is a big responsibility?” So many of us, including yours truly, initially got promoted because I was good at my job as an individual contributor. And no, I did not get management training. I fumbled and bumbled and was a manager, not a leader, for a long time. I didn't delegate well and tried to do everything myself. I didn't fully trust my people, and in return, they didn't trust me. I didn't believe I was strategic or had vision. And I didn't understand the need to create paths for my employees or how to have their backs in rooms they weren't in. Thank goodness, over time I learned. I did the internal work to forge myself into a leader. But, in my conversation with my guest today, Lisa Even, I realized that I am still learning. This is the first time that I learned about how powerful of a ripple effect leaders can have on their people and overall organizations. Also, I have never met someone until Lisa who realizes that joy is part of their jobs. Joy doesn't just happen; we must plan for it and be present enough to fully experience it.During today's show, Lisa and I chatted about:What is the leadership ripple effect.How leaders can happen to their teams and not the other way around.The difference between a good ripple and a bad one.Her book, Joy is My Job: A Book to Spark Joy Filled Mindset, Moments, and Experiences!Lisa's upcoming book, What's Your Ripple Effect? And Why it Matters More than Ever. A Leader's Guide to Creating Lasting Impact and Influence.How Lisa finds space for joy in her life and work.Here is more about Lisa:Lisa Even (ee-ven) is on a mission to help leaders and organizations createthe Ultimate Ripple Effect, the kind that moves people and drives impact.Better leaders. Better culture. Better results.A nationally recognized keynote speaker, bestselling author of Joy Is My Job, and host of the Have Good Ripple Effect podcast, Lisa has partnered with top organizations across the world to help teams navigate change and create remarkable performance.Through her signature S.E.A. Model (Show up, Engage, Adapt), Lisa teaches that culture and performance aren't built in meetings; they'rebuilt in the moments in between, through attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs.A former healthcare operational leader at a Fortune 500 company overseeing a multimillion-dollar budget, Lisa learned firsthand that greatleaders don't wait for culture to happen; they build it intentionally. Drawing on more than a decade of leadership experience, she equips audiences to move from the day-to-day hustle to captaining their own ship.Her message blends strategy, science, humor, and connection, showing that when leaders focus on creating a Good Ripple Effect, resultsalways follow.If the Brave Women at Work Podcast has helped you personally or professionally, please share it with a friend, colleague, or family member.

In this beautiful confluence of spirit and story, relationships and entrepreneurships, we are honored to welcome our dear friends, Josh and Beth Pearlman, into our sacred studio. Together, we explore the vibrant landscape of a life built on the foundations of movement, marriage, and the courageous "leap" into the unknown. As founders and owners of True Yoga and SafeSplash Swim School (Arvada, CO), Beth and Josh offer us a profound look at what it means to weave individual passions into a shared legacy. We dive deep into the transition from a solitary practice to a community offering, the neurological and emotional necessity of movement, and the high emotional intelligence required to maintain "clear lanes" while running separate business domains under one roof. This conversation is an invitation to witness the "we" in action, navigating the shift into an empty nest with grace, managing the mental load of leadership, and finding the divine in the ordinary rhythms of a long-standing partnership. We believe that by hearing their journey, you will find the resonance and inspiration to tend to your own roots while allowing your unique ripples to reach the world. https://www.trueyogaevergreen.com https://www.safesplash.com/locations/arvada-co

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes legendary author, producer, and SCBWI co‑founder Lin Oliver to celebrate her new middle grade novel, The After School Kindness Crew: Pooch on the Loose, co‑written with Goldie Hawn. Lin shares how Goldie's MindUP foundation and its focus on mindfulness, brain science, and helping kids self‑regulate inspired the series, which follows three "outlier" kids—Mia, River, and Tony—who secretly perform acts of kindness at school and in their community. Lin explains why she chose neurodiverse and artsy, non‑"typical" kids as heroes, and how the books empower young readers to see that small, everyday kindnesses can create big ripples right where they live. Humor, she says, is her bridge to deeper themes: once kids are laughing at runaway snakes, disastrous "surprise us" day presentations, and a rescue dog on the loose, they're ready to engage with empathy, inclusion, and courage. She also reflects on co‑writing with celebrities who genuinely respect children's literature, the brain break exercises embedded in the books, and the importance of co‑reading—parents and kids sharing chapter books together well into the middle grade years. Lin then looks back on founding SCBWI at age 22, growing it from a 35‑person gathering (catered by her mom's potato salad) to a 26,000‑member global force during what she calls the "golden age" of children's books. In the Storykeepers segment, Jen Perry of Illume Books in Newburyport, MA, highlights her highly curated children's shelves and the power of playful, welcoming bookstore spaces to nurture young readers. Finally, in the debut Real Magic Sound Lab, Jed tests two versions of the song "The Best Me I Can Be," inviting listeners to vote on which style kids will truly embrace and to download both tracks and activities for home or classroom use.

In this new body of work, Giordanne Salley constructs shifting tableaus that attempt to visualize not time itself, but the feeling of the passage of time. Our experiences of life can often feel like we are riding along on time's arrow. Days repeat and build like the rhythm of waves lapping at the shore. Each tide brings forth trash and treasures, bits of flora and fauna, before the lunar cycle pulls them back out to sea. So too does one’s conscious experience of life move through time, accumulating, folding in on itself, and gradually building into the future. Ripples and corrugations form over Salley's images, diffracting their shapes into myriad frames. Like peering at the bottom of the sea through the waves, we see the subjects dance in the minute turbulence. In pieces like Endlings, these scenes verge on abstraction. Though semi-psychedelic in their optical qualities, Salley's paintings are rooted in the natural world. Animals and human forms bathe in the undulations, adding a moment of specificity while also acting as a tether to reality and a reminder that these patterns depict the fluctuating surface of water. Coursing through glowing layers of energy, works like Infinity Loon pair discernible imagery with vibrating geometry. The waterfowl, leaving a wake in the paint behind it, upsets the lines and creates a cascading pattern that echoes toward the edges of the frame. Though often based around real-world subjects, in these new works, Salley does away with the horizon line in an effort to flatten the surface and invoke a feeling of the infinite. Repetitive and continuous, her lines and patterns are full of potential as they press onward and outward. Finding her color by applying paint in numerous thin layers, Salley works around predetermined lines, building up meditative markings of the hours spent. With every new application, the image grows richer. The use of collage and underdrawing affords each canvas a nuanced texture, both physical and visual. In Time Flows, Salley combines these elements as “a sort of scaffolding to hang the painting on or around.” Intense investigation rewards the viewer with subtle glimpses into the artist's process. Each piece becomes a palimpsest, offering ghostly reminders of the past that push through to the final image. At the heart of all of this is a potent rumination on universal themes through the lens of Salley's own subjectivity. Like time, so too do ideas of love, loss, and memory ebb and flow infinitely like the tides. Slipping through fingers like the ocean in our hand, the present is instantaneous and always on the way out. Salley slows down these moments, capturing them in paint and offering a moment of contemplation and reverie, reminding us that everything is always changing and evolving. Reflecting the world around it, offering vital nourishment to life, and functioning as a symbol of the incomprehensible vastness of time and consciousness, water is transformative.

Liset de la Prida is director of the Centro de Neurociencias Cajal in Madrid, Spain, where she runs the Laboratory of Neural Circuits. Today we discuss two main topics. What drew me to invite Liset was her work on neural manifolds, which we've talked about a lot recently on this podcast. She studies how specific subtypes of neurons affect and control neural manifolds. More on that it in a second, because what drew her to study manifolds was her work on what are known as sharp wave ripples in the hippocampus. Sharp wave ripples are generally quick bursts of oscillatory activity as found in local field potential recordings that accompany little bursty sequences of action potentials fired off by sets of neurons. Those ripples have been associated with a quick replaying of some experience an organism has had, with the thinking that by replaying those sequences of neural activity associated with an event, it's helping to consolidate the memory for that event in the cortex. Like everything else, the story isn't so simple, and we talk about some of the findings that have added to the complexity of understanding what sharp wave ripples are doing, and the varieties of sharp wave ripples. That varieties part is related to the second main thing we discuss, which is the varieties of neuron subtypes and their roles in shaping the manifolds we've discussed a lot recently. As a reminder, manifolds are dynamic structures along which populations of neural activity unfold over time, and they have proved to be one effective way of making sense of how large populations of neurons coordinate their activity to do useful things for our cognition. Liset is interested in the relation between sharp wave ripples and manifolds, and in how specific subtypes of neurons affect manifolds and cognition in general.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around the earth, the natural world and climate justice in action. This week, Survival Guide for Humans Learned from Marine Mammals with Alexis Pauline Gumbs. Make a tax deductible donation and become a member at LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: Are you drowning? This year hasn't been smooth sailing for many of us — with extreme temperatures, and other crises. How do we take a breath? Alexis Pauline Gumbs' UNDROWNED: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals, draws on the practices of marine mammals — they are the experts, after all, in not drowning. (The harbor seal can slow its breath to about four beats per minute!) The book landed her the prestigious 2022 Whiting Prize for nonfiction, and now she is working on a biography of Audre Lorde. Plus, she is bringing people together through Soul Sanctuary, retreats that center a Black, feminist and queer vision. Join Laura and Gumbs for a conversation on how we can all practice “another way to breathe.”  Music featured in the middle of the radio show and podcast is the title track of Samora Pinderhughes' “Transformation Suite”. “This is an offering towards evolution, towards our evolution, towards the possibility that instead of continuing the trajectory of slavery, entrapment, separation, and domination, and making our atmosphere unbreakable, we might instead practice another way to breathe.” - Alexis Pauline Gumbs “The context of undrowning, breathing in unbreathable circumstances is what we do every day, in the choke hold of racial, gendered, ableist capitalism. We are still undrowning. And by we, I don't only mean people like myself whose ancestors specifically survive the middle passage.” - Alexis Pauline Gumbs Guest: Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Poet, Author, Independent Scholar & Activist Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel nationally airing Sundays at 11:30am ET and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! This week, Brittany's telling us all about a lake monster, so we thought it was best to bring in an expert on the creatures that live within lakes: Big Wave Dave! While some may know him from the local Duluth band Big Wave Dave & the Ripples, Dave is an avid fisherman of the Boulder Lake Fishing Club. And when Brittany tells us all about Old Greeny from Cayuga Lake in New York, he has his opinions. Is a sturgeon? Unlikely. Is it a beaver? Definitely not! You don't know beavers!

Lately, we've been exploring a simple but powerful idea: Joy is meant to be shared. We've heard how stories shape us. How stability restores dignity. How gifts, when given away, multiply. And again and again, we've seen the same pattern: Someone receives help. Hope takes root. And that hope begins to ripple outward. To close this season, we're turning to two recent stories from Caring Magazine—stories that show how that ripple effect is unfolding right now across The Salvation Army's Western Territory. These stories remind us: Joy doesn't always arrive loudly. Sometimes it looks like steady progress. A safe place to sleep. A mentor who checks in. A class that builds confidence. A plan for tomorrow. This is what sharing the joy looks like. Not just inspiration—but transformation. Not just relief—but renewal. Not just help—but the kind of support that makes paying it forward possible.

Getting justice for Epstein survivors seems impossible in the United States. But in the United Kingdom, the Epstein files could bring down the British government. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign after admitting he knew the UK's former Ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, had ties to Epstein when he appointed him in 2024. To unpack how the United Kingdom is reckoning with Epstein, we spoke to Coco Khan, co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save the UK.And in headlines, Vice President JD Vance becomes the first sitting US Vice President – or President – to visit Armenia, immigration officials are set to testify before the House Committee on Homeland Security, and a new report from CBS News finds that less than 14 percent of people arrested by ICE in the first year of Trump's second term had violent criminal records.Show Notes: Check out Pod Save the UK – https://tinyurl.com/2kvufs9f Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
