For the Wild

WRFA Radio — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 11:38:32 +0000

We join some of the brightest thought-leaders and visionaries of our time– to uplift a multitude of perspectives, to amplify grassroot voices, and to tell stories that would otherwise disappear in mainstream media. Key topics include the struggle to protect wild nature, to promote ecological renewal and resistance and to heal from the disconnection furthered by consumer culture and human supremacy.

Not only does this work aim to produce an anthology of the Anthropocene, but it also strives to support a new paradigm of earth renewal through conservation and restoration ecology.

Our work is powered by socially aware community, informed by decoloniality and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and committed to working responsibly, at the intersection between social and environmental justice. In these challenging times when access to information about climate change and social resistance are under threat, when the criminalization of dissent is increasing and when scientists are being silenced, the free, independent media are last watchdogs for sharing the truth. This is what we aim to do with the podcast.

Rootstock Radio

Follow hosts Theresa Marquez and Anne O’Connor as they expose the realities of our broken food system and explore solutions put forward by our country’s brightest changemakers.

There is a need for honest—yet personable—education amid the rampant apathy, ignorance, and worse, denial about the true state of food and farming in our country today. As we face a food system that is increasingly dangerous to human and environmental health, we need to amplify the hard truth with compassionate and honest voices, balancing the doom-and-gloom with real-life solutions that contribute to a sustainable future.
