The church is in a moment of honest reckoning. Attendance is shrinking, institutions are thinning, and many who once belonged now stand on the outside looking in. In this conversation with author and priest Stephanie Spellers, we explore what the “nones” and “dones” are teaching us about faith, community, and the way of Jesus. Stephanie invites us to look directly at decline, name the shame we carry, and listen to the prophetic longings rising from a generation hungry for authenticity, belonging, and spiritual depth. We talk about Christian nationalism, idolized structures, meeting God outside our buildings, the table as a site of renewal, and the possibility of becoming a true Jesus movement again. If you care about where the church is headed, or whether new life can emerge from the dry bones, this episode offers clarity, courage, and hope.Rev. Stephanie Spellers is a renowned author, Episcopal priest and change agent. Her newest book, "Church Tomorrow?: What the Nones and Dones Teach Us About the Future of Faith," explores the stories of nonreligious young Americans and their prophetic charge to traditional, declining religion. She recently completed nearly a decade leading The Episcopal Church's work on evangelism, racial reconciliation and environmental justice. Today she serves as canon in residence at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in New York City.Stephanie's Book:Church Tomorrow?Connect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Guest Jonathan Gluck is a writer and editor whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post. He was deputy editor of New York magazine for ten years, after which he worked as managing editor of Vogue. He currently works at Fast Company. His work has been recognized with multiple National Magazine Awards. He is the author of An Exercise in Uncertainty, a memoir of how his journey with incurable cancer has reshaped his identity, marriage, and daily life. Summary In this deeply candid conversation, journalist and author Jon Gluck recounts his 22-year journey living with multiple myeloma, an incurable but treatable bone-marrow cancer. He describes the shock of his diagnosis at age 38 and the long, winding road of tests, remissions, relapses, and emerging treatments that have kept him alive. The discussion explores how Gluck navigates profound uncertainty, the illusion of control, and the emotional toll that chronic illness places not only on the patient but also on family and relationships. He and his wife confronted the strain of living in medical limbo, ultimately turning to therapy to rebuild connection during what he calls becoming "cancer zombies." The conversation also highlights the restorative role of fly fishing, which Gluck describes as one of the few activities capable of placing him entirely in the present. This genuine flow state quiets fear and anxiety. He shares broader lessons about empathy, how to speak to someone with a serious diagnosis, and the importance of intentionally pursuing joy, connection, and meaning while living alongside uncertainty. The Essential Point The heart of the discussion is Jon's insight into living meaningfully in the face of uncertainty. His story shows that while we cannot control the inevitabilities of illness or life's unpredictability, we can control how we show up—seeking information, accepting our limits, nurturing relationships, and embracing activities that restore us. His emphasis on intentionally choosing joy, connection, and presence—even in the shadow of chronic illness—offers a universal lesson for anyone facing their own uncertainties.

Michael Osborne, creator of the award-winning podcast Famous and Gravy, joins Genevieve to discuss how stories of the departed become mirrors for the living. The conversation explores how fame shifts across generations, the fleeting nature of memory, and the difference between celebrity and personal legacy. Osborne shares the philosophical framework behind Famous and Gravy, emphasizing empathy, the power of creative expression, and conducting authentic, unscripted conversations. They explore reflections on personal legacies and the importance of listening, both in life and in storytelling. Learn more about Famous and Gravy here, and subscribe to the show on YouTube.

Subscribe to The Final Curtain Never Closes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Key Takeaways 1. Fame is generational and fleeting: Osborne illustrates how perceptions of fame differ by age group, using Paul Newman as an example to show how memory fades and morphs over time, making legacy a moving target. 2. Celebrity as a mirror: The show uses dead celebrities’ stories to reflect on cultural values, aspirations, and characteristics, aiming to turn the spotlight back on listeners’ own lives and potential for growth. 3. Empathy over idolization: Rather than celebrity obsession, Famous and Gravy seeks to humanize public figures and encourage empathetic consideration of the complexities behind fame and achievement. 4. Legacy for all: The discussion pushes past the myth that only the famous are remembered. Everyone can create a legacy, and the “second death” occurs when the last living person with knowledge of someone dies, making remembrance universal. 5. Listening as a skill: Osborne reveals that great storytelling, in podcasts and in life, depends on deep listening and authentic connection, not just performance or conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A really interesting conversation with Simon Meisch this week. Simon is a Senior Lecturer for Applied Ethics at the Ethics Centre of the University of Tubingen, and until recently was also a visiting scholar here at IDEA. It's an unusual episode of the podcast in that we aren't talking about a specific ethical issue. Instead, we talk about a particular way of highlighting ethical issues and encouraging discussion of them. That's through engaging with serial narratives, including comic books and TV series. We focused on one particular comic book series, which has been adapted for TV, which is Heartstopper. Aside from enlightening me about that series, Simon makes a convincing case that this is a good way to get at a range of ethical issues, in a way that is complex, subtle and grounded in recognisable situations.Here's the Heartstopper webcomic.Here's Simon's webpage.And here are some other relevant links recommended by Simon:Ben Argon: Philosophy ComicsTim Smyth: Teaching with Comics and Graphic NovelsScott McCloud: Understanding ComicsAaron Meskin: The Philosophy of ComicsAaron Meskin: Teaching & Learning Guide for: The Philosophy of ComicsEthics Untangled is produced by IDEA, The Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds.Bluesky: @ethicsuntangled.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ideacetlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idea-ethics-centre/
Sermon Audio from November 30, 2025 (First Sunday in Advent) on Matthew 21:1-11
In the late-1980s, Father Gregory Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence in his community during the so-called Decade of Death that peaked at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992 in Los Angeles. In the face of criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration, Father Boyle and community members adopted what was a radical approach – at the time – to treat gang members as human beings. In 1988, they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of men and women who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. Father Greg Boyle spoke with Movement Is Life's Dr. Bonnie Simpson Mason for an episode that was originally published in 2020.
In this episode, Dr. Killeen draws inspiration from the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, who taught that while we can't control what happens to us, we can always control how we respond. From late patients to insurance frustrations, dentistry throws plenty of curveballs—but our real power lies in how we handle them. Dr. Killeen shares how finding that “stimulus-response gap” can turn chaos into clarity and help you lead with calm, purpose, and perspective. Tune in to learn how mastering your mindset can change your day—and your practice—for the better.
Send us a textJoin Marc Almodovar, Founder of the Men's ADHD Support Group, and Kyrus Westcott of The Vibe with Ky as they explore what some think is a taboo subject: Ethical Non-Monogamy.But here's the thing, this isn't a talk about whether you should practice ethical non-monogamy. It's about what ENM can teach us about communication, boundaries, consent, and intentional relationship design, skills that make every relationship healthier, regardless of structure.When you can't rely on default relationship scripts, you have to talk about everything. You have to get clear on what you want, what you need, and what your boundaries actually are. That clarity? It's valuable for everyone.In this conversation, Marc and Kyrus explore:Why clear communication beats assumptions every timeHow to identify and communicate your actual needs (not just what you think you're supposed to want)The difference between agreements and expectationsWhy boundaries are about you, not controlling someone elseHow to design relationships that actually work for the people in themYou don't need to be interested in ENM to benefit from this. You don't need to agree with it. You're here to learn, not to commit to anything. Take what fits your life and leave the rest.This is a safe conversation. You're allowed to be curious. You're allowed to feel uncomfortable, excited, confused, or skeptical. All of it belongs here.Whether you're in a traditional relationship, single, or exploring other options, the relationship skills discussed apply. Because healthy relationships—of any structure—are built on the same foundation: honesty, communication, and intentional choice.If you're interested in Ky's amazing cologne check it out here -- https://sucreabeille.com/products/why-did-i-walk-into-this-roomIf you're interested in following Ky you can check out his website -- https://thevibewithky.com/Also follow him on all major platforms @vibewithky! 00:23 - Ky's Background and Achievements01:49 - Introduction to Ethical Non-Monogamy03:23 - Understanding Ethical Non-Monogamy04:56 - Ky's Personal Experience with ADHD and Relationships11:52 - Exploring Relationship Structures20:46 - Neurodivergent Traits and Ethical Non-Monogamy31:10 - Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and Jealousy39:20 - Practical Tools for Managing RSD and Jealousy41:11 - Reflecting on Fear-Based Stories in Relationships42:10 - Understanding ADHD Challenges in Relationships45:11 - Effective Tools for Managing ADHD in Relationships49:46 - Expressing Vulnerable Feelings and Needs52:32 - Open Q&A: Navigating Communication and Jealousy1:03:30 - Balancing Time and Conflict Resolution Strategies Check out our website for great blogs, information, and upcoming events!

Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, parent, educator, storyteller, or someone building something bigger than yourself, this one will hit home. It's packed with lessons on perseverance, creativity, growth, emotional resilience, and the spiritual journey of making meaningful work in the world. If you've ever struggled with resistance… If you've ever had a dream feel “too big”… If you've ever wanted to give up… This episode is your reminder to keep going.

The statistics related to domestic violence are sobering, but the story behind them is even more complex—and too often misunderstood. In this episode, we dig into how popular frameworks for understanding domestic violence took hold and how survivors play a role in shaping those frameworks - and thereby enhancing our understanding of abuse.Our guests, Melissa Scaia and Dr. Lisa Young Larance, bring decades of frontline practice, research, and program design to this conversation. Melissa explains how the Duluth Model emerged from listening sessions, and why anger management fails when entitlement—not emotion—is the root of abuse. Lisa introduces the “arrest web,” showing how coercive partners weaponize preferred arrest policies and police interviews, leading to survivors over confessing while abusers stay calm and quiet. We examine plea pressures, court silencing, criminalized survivors and the ripple effects of probation and child protection that can replicate intimate harm. We also discuss how oppression theory and intersectionality help to explain why women of color are arrested more and believed less, regardless of stand-your-ground or duty-to-retreat frameworks. Practical takeaways include better police questioning, expert-informed court processes, and agency support that moves beyond the victim–offender binary to truly increase safety and autonomy.
All things in life eventually come to an end, and when they do, it can feel devastating. That's why it's important to cultivate a theology of departure, loss, and grief. In Scripture, many endings—such as Abram and Lot parting ways or even Jesus's earthly ministry concluding—do not signal doom but progress. After all, if Jesus had not departed, the Holy Spirit would not have come. Instead of being alarmed by departure, we're invited to embrace it as an inherent part of life. In doing so, we become able to recognize and receive the new things that follow. Scripture: Gen 13: 1-12 Abram and Lot Separate 13 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him. 2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold. 3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord. 5 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. 6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together. 7 And quarreling arose between Abram's herders and Lot's. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time. 8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let's not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Let's part company. If you go to the left, I'll go to the right; if you go to the right, I'll go to the left.” 10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.
If you haven't noticed, our world in a very big way has lost its grip on the value of gratitude. Instead of having a thankful heart for whatever our opportunities we may have and what we may receive, we seem to double down on living with a sense of entitlement. We can look at this and wonder where we went wrong! The fact is this issue is the result of human imperfection and has been around for a very long time. The story of the Ten Lepers in Luke 17 reminds us of this. Leprosy—once a living death—left its victims isolated, disfigured and desperate. Yet when Jesus healed ten lepers, only one returned to give thanks. Why does thankfulness matter so deeply to God? And what does this ancient disease reveal about the spiritual condition of humanity today? This whole healing account offers a profound spiritual metaphor for sin and redemption, emphasizing the transformative power of gratitude and faith. Leprosy, a devastating disease in biblical times, aptly pictures the isolating, disfiguring and numbing effects of sin. Victims were socially ostracized, legally declared unclean and forced to live apart from society. When Jesus healed ten lepers, only one—a Samaritan—returned to express gratitude, highlighting the rarity and depth of true thankfulness. One uniqueness regarding this particular account is that the healing was not immediate; Jesus instructed the lepers to go show themselves to the priests, requiring faith before any visible change occurred. Their obedience mirrors the future resurrection, where humanity will walk toward complete healing through faith, not instant transformation. Key spiritual parallels between leprosy and sin include: Progressive decay: Leprosy worsens over time, just as sin deepens without divine intervention. Numbness: Leprosy dulls pain, leading to self-harm; sin desensitizes conscience, causing spiritual damage. Isolation: Lepers were cut off from community; sin separates us from God and others. The Samaritan's gratitude was immediate and passionate, even before being officially declared clean. His response exemplifies the kind of faith that transforms—not just heals. Jesus' phrase “your faith has made you well” implies both physical and spiritual restoration. This phrase appears only three times in the New Testament, each time marking a deeper healing tied to faith and gratitude. While God's mercy is freely given, gratitude is the evidence of transformative faith. The Samaritan's return to glorify God reveals the heart posture God desires—faith expressed through gratitude, even in adversity.
This episode in the sermon series, "Teach Us to Pray", provides instruction on how we should respond to God in prayer, by repenting those things not aligned with Jesus; accepting God's will and confessing our struggles.

Some animals have a very different relationship to aging than we do: They don't get cancer, they never go through menopause, and they live absurdly long lives. For instance, one bat species can live for more than 40 years, which may not sound like very long but that's about nine times longer than expected based on its size. For comparison, if we aged on that scale, we'd live for hundreds of years. These bats aren't the only animal super-agers—there's a whole menagerie of them.So what's their secret? And can we learn anything from them that might help us live longer, healthier lives? Host Flora Lichtman talks with longevity researchers Vera Gorbunova and Juan Manuel Vazquez about what animals are teaching us.Guests:Dr. Vera Gorbunova is a biologist and professor at the University of Rochester, and a co-director of the Rochester Aging Research Center.Dr. Juan Manuel Vazquez is a biologist and assistant professor at Pennsylvania State University studying the evolution of aging.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

What can the world of corporate innovation learn from the people who spend their careers dealing with risk, secrecy, and the unknown every single day? That question stayed with me throughout my conversation with Susie Braam, the former head of innovation inside the United Kingdom's national security agencies. In this episode, I step into territory that most of us will never experience firsthand. Susie takes us inside the thinking, culture, and decision-making that shaped innovation across MI5 and MI6, and how those lessons translate into the way we build and lead modern organizations. I talk through her journey from operational counter-terrorism work to being asked to create innovation capabilities across the intelligence community. What struck me most was how she learned to break through silos that were deeply entrenched, sometimes to the point where teams refused to sit in the same room. Susie explains how risk is viewed very differently within national security, what it means to make decisions with incomplete information, and how leaders can learn to think in terms of probabilities rather than certainties. Her stories reveal how culture, communication, and curiosity can become the real engines of change, even in the most highly regulated environments. We also explore what corporate innovators can borrow from intelligence work, including how to create genuine alignment across organisations, how to make decisions with imperfect data, and how to build innovation systems that actually move. Susie shares the pressure innovators face when resources are scarce, careers are on the line, and progress is slow to measure. She leaves us with powerful reflections about the kind of mindset shift the world needs now, far beyond technology itself. So the real question becomes this. Are we ready to rethink how we lead, collaborate, and take risks? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Robert Karas is a Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Bank Gutmann in Vienna, Austria's oldest private bank, where he oversees investment strategies for ultra-high-net-worth clients. Robert is a seasoned investor on a lifelong journey known for his thoughtful investment philosophy and engaging market insights.3:00 - Robert describes the 1960s "paperwork crisis" when Wall Street trading volumes exploded and people physically schlepped suitcases of stock certificates along Wall Street, requiring the establishment of the Depository Trust Company in 1973.5:20 - Bogumil shares his vivid memory of holding physical account statements from decades ago, witnessing the literal doubling of family fortunes—"two turning into four, four turning into eight"—and how the tangible nature of old statements helped him grasp the true power of long-term compounding.6:45 - Discussion of Buffett's revolutionary fee structure: zero management fees, profit sharing only above hurdles, and the forgotten detail—unlimited personal liability for losses. "Talking about aligned interests... we all talk about it, but normally we do not share in the downside directly."14:30 - Robert explains why Buffett dissolved his partnerships in 1969: "He didn't want to manage other people's emotions anymore." The shift from managing external capital to managing Berkshire allowed him to focus purely on business building without quarterly redemption pressures.25:00 - The power of Buffett's language: simple, clear, authentic communication that builds trust. Robert notes how Buffett writes letters "as if he's sitting in your living room explaining things to you."38:15 - Discussion of Berkshire as more than just an investment—it becomes part of people's identities, something they want to pass to their children, transforming from a stock into a legacy vehicle.56:30 - Bogumil's insight about Omaha during the annual meeting: "There's no other place on earth that for a few days, I have more friends per square mile than anywhere else."59:00 - Final reflection on trust and doing the right thing even when nobody's watching—the essence of working with families and the true lesson from Buffett and Munger.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Have we taught our kids that they always have to have an answer..... even when they don't really know why?In this episode, Kristi gets curious about something she noticed while listening to Mel Robbins talk about artificial intelligence: AI is programmed to always respond. Even if the answer isn't true. It “hallucinates” to sound confident. And it made her wonder… do we do that to our children?What happens when a child says, “I don't know,” and we push for more? Do we accidentally teach them to make something up just to calm the moment ...to “hallucinate” a reason to make us feel better?Through research, reflection, and honest conversation, Kristi explores how parents and educators can create space for “I don't know” without fear or shame — and why that space might be exactly where curiosity, trust, and real connection begin.www.knbcommunications.com

Teach Us, Jesus (Luke 6) - 11.9.2025 | Jeremiah Fair
This week marked two vastly different days: the commemoration of Kristallnacht, the Nazi pogrom of 1938, which foreshadowed the horrors of the Holocaust, and Veterans Day in America, where we honor all those who have served our nation and opposed evil. The juxtaposition leads us to ask what path we choose, one of those who amplify and legitimize Jew hatred and downplay the Holocaust, or the path of courage and fighting the evils of Jew hate and fascism.
Many people believe prayer is important—and they're right! But for someone new to prayer, it can be hard to know how to start or what to say. And if we are honest, even those of us who are more experienced can sometimes struggle. But there is good news! Because the One Person throughout human history who has had the closest and most intimate relationship with God offers to TEACH US how to pray! And if we'll listen to Him, the door to a deeper and more personal relationship with God through prayer opens wide.
In a culture obsessed with recognition and self-promotion, Paul introduces us to two men who turned the world's values upside down: Timothy and Epaphroditus. One nearly died for the gospel. The other genuinely cared when everyone else was looking out for themselves. In this episode, we explore Philippians 2:19-30 and discover what Christ-like service really looks like—and why these "ordinary" believers might be the most extraordinary people in Scripture.
Welcome back to This Week in Work, your Tuesday news round-up where workplace culture meets behavioural science.

Alan Stein Jr, former basketball performance coach to Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, and other NBA superstars, reveals why knowledge without execution is worthless and how the world's highest performers bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Drawing from decades working with elite athletes, Stein explains that performance gaps exist in every area of life—we all know we should eat healthier, sleep more, and exercise consistently, but implementation separates good from great. Through stories of Kevin Durant's transformation from a frail 15-year-old with pristine fundamentals to NBA superstar, Stein unpacks the perfect storm required for elite success: physical predisposition combined with high IQ, work ethic, coachability, resiliency, and love of competition. He introduces self-awareness as the foundational requirement for growth—defining it as alignment between how you see yourself and how the world sees you. From his divorce-driven awakening to parenting twin sons with unconditional love while demanding effort and coachability, Stein demonstrates how principles from basketball translate directly to business, parenting, and personal development through focus on process over outcomes.

Rabbi Stark explains what the tests Hashem challenged Avraham with teach us about Hashem (in addition to what they tell us about Avraham).
Daily Study: Jesus taught that prayer is not about public display or empty repetition but about sincere communion with God. True prayer is done privately, from the heart, with faith that the Father already knows our needs. Unlike pagans who rely on long or repetitive chants, believers are called to approach God with reverence and simplicity. Jesus provided a model through the Lord's Prayer, focusing on honoring God, seeking His will, daily dependence, forgiveness, and spiritual protection. Forgiveness remains central—our prayers and relationship with God are tied to our willingness to forgive others.

Nick Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic. But he moonlights as a damn good runner. At 44, he ran a marathon in 2 hours and 29 minutes, making him one of the fastest marathoners his age on the planet. He later set an American age group record in the 50K. He has run in blazing heat with ice tucked into his hat and in frigid cold with Vaseline dabbed on his nose. He's run up sunny mountain trails and down dark city streets. He has run, and run, and run some more. His relationship with the sport is the subject of his new memoir, The Running Ground. It's a book about the fragile boundary between love and obsession, between progress and suffering. And it's about the way we all run in loops: away from the past and then back toward it. (4:35) Nick reads from The Running Ground (8:00) On his father: "Not a simple guy" (16:34) How the sport finds you (30:00) A personal best, then a cancer diagnosis (40:56) The four states of running bliss (and how to reach them) (46:29) How Nick got faster in his forties (49:14) The big takeaway (50:33) Want to start running? Do this. (53:14) Is running actually good for you? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Climate change is transforming how the world grows and eats. In this episode, host Amy Scott talks with New York Times international climate correspondent Somini Sengupta about what she's learned from farmers adapting to extreme weather. From drought-resistant crops to regenerative practices, Sengupta shows how communities on the front lines of climate change are finding new ways to survive and feed their families — and what their stories can teach us about building a more resilient global food system.

Could Mushrooms Save the World? Join the world's most renowned mycologist Paul Stamets—author of Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats—as he dives deep into the astonishing power of fungi, mycelium, and psychedelic mushrooms to transform not just our health, but our consciousness, society, and planet. In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Stamets reveals: - How psilocybin therapy is helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, and even the fear of death - How a heroic dose of mushrooms changed his life, helped cure his stutter, and opened his spiritual awareness - Powerful anatomy of fungi vs. mycelium vs. mushrooms, and how they mirror the structure of the universe - Why mycelium networks prove the health benefits of random acts of kindness - Humans are descendants of mycelium (and what that means for our evolution!) - Crucial role mushrooms play in biodiversity, ecosystem survival, and as the "lungs of the planet" - Difference between microdosing vs. macrodosing, and the creative, emotional, and neurological benefits of each - Why a "Mycelium Revolution" is sweeping the planet, and how it could unite humanity - Why Stamets believes psilocybin may be the key to curing our global creativity crisis - Sacred cultural history of mushrooms, and why honoring Indigenous wisdom is vital to our future - How mushrooms could help us clean pollution, build sustainable materials, revolutionize agriculture, and even colonize space So why isn't psilocybin therapy more accessible? Why are thousands of mushroom species psychedelic? And how can fungi rewire society for healing, empathy, and planetary survival? Discover how mushrooms might not just change your mind, but also save the world. Watch now and prepare to see fungi in a whole new light!
