So far I've not found a family podcast that wasn't just too silly. Admittedly, I'm only on episode #7 but so far I'm digging Nancy.

Thanks for this recommendation - I'm enjoying it!

A couple of weeks ago it felt time for me to take a break from news related podcasts. So, I Googled "uplifting podcasts" and found this website....

8 Addictive Podcasts That Will Give You a Happiness Boost <-- All the recommended podcasts were pretty cool but the two listed below I thought were especially cool.

If You're Searching for Meaning, Listen to … 10% Happier with Dan Harris <-- primarily to do with meditation but there's also insight here and there re: other topics.


If You Want to Feel Just Plain Happier, Listen to … Happier with Gretchen Rubin <-- primarily to do with everything!

Thank you for these. I too need something to offset the uglier side of life.

Back before the coining of the term Climate Change came into existence, there was the oil spill down in Santa Barbara, which became the critical tipping point which called attention to the damage caused by unchecked oil industry practices... and triggered a national response to create the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This episode gives critical attention and details how the climate change conversation began, years ago.

It's terribly interesting and critical to understanding Climate Change (…).

Crude Habitat: Episode no. 388.

i'm no critical authority on climate change but even a fool like me can understand that when parts of Louisiana are inundating and becoming uninhabitable, all of us need to teach other why we need each-other to survive ...and our gender/sexual distinctions may be the shallowest distinctions amongst us.

AS Rodney King once said " Can't we all just get along" ...SURE...at least until we make life on this planet more reasonably assured.Let's all be pals etc, get along, etc...but let's not wipe out every avenue of disagreement.

Come debate/argue with me ( and others )...we will keep our intellectual juice flowing and we will keep serving the life-blood of our community.

Me too, I'm no authority on Climate Change but the clearest, most recent example in the news is the flooding back in the Mid-west, due to levee's exploding past multiple barriers and generations of farmers losing their entire crops (which they barely make any revenue on).

Here's the NYT's story from headline news on MSN, about how a soy bean crop farmer (Roger Ideker, see photo in article) filed suit, several years ago, against the Army Corps of Engineers. His legal case argues that because of X, Y and Z conditions that happen (climate change tragedies -- major rivers exploding past their levee's, etc) and falling outside the ordinary limits of natural disaster insurance type stuff, has basically destroyed the way farmers try to eke out a living: "...repeated floods amounts to seizure of property..." (R. Ideker, see NYT's article).

It's terrible, the economic burden US farmers of soy, corn or any crop. face. From what I understand, they enter contracts with the US government to produce crops, but then Monsanto owns the market for seeds, then when the crop finally makes it to the market, the same oliogarchy who demanded high prices for seeds, barely pays them anything for the crops they produce, barring catastrophic disasters, such as the flooding in the Mid-west.
