In an era of short attention spans, it's a relief to see someone creating in-depth, long-form content with real substance. Fantastic work. Thank you

I think it's the job of the viewers of this podcast to distribute this episode and other ones to people who don't watch new media. People need to switch away from the shit show of television and start tuning in to the channels which are promoting empowered discussion for everyday people to understand and not get all hyped up in a non useful way. Stay blessed everyone!

What I love about this channel is that people interviewed, get to talk to the point that they hear themselves, and almost question what they are saying because we are actually hearing them out.

This is a very serious and well conducted interview. I feel way more people should hear it.

Excellent discussion. Sanibel Island was almost wiped out by hurricane Charley in 2004. And they keep rebuilding there.
