For today, some discussions focus on the development of local networks for food production to offset supply line shortages. The full podcast previewed above is here. From Local Futures (-Thanks to R.):
Brand's podcast is promoting some webinars held this month by Swedish speaker, Helena Norberg-Hodge. Local Futures, an anti-globalist leftist organization which promotes local self-reliance, is holding live free webinars with Norberg-Hodge, with one webinar tomorrow:"Have you been wondering what the world might look like after this pandemic has passed?Helena Norberg-Hodge tackled this question and many more with the comedian/commentator Russell Brand in the latest episode of his podcast, Under the Skin. Among the subjects discussed was the recent surge of interest in local food, community-based mutual aid, and radical economic thinking.Russell is a controversial figure, but he is exceptionally incisive and articulate and has a genuine passion for exploring alternatives to corporate capitalism."
