Dark o Moon, when we gather to determine the course of culture, Caroline welcomes, Baratunde Thurston (dedicated to humor, wisdom, and compassion in service to complex conversations.)
“Baratunde is an Emmy-nominated host who has worked for The Onion, produced for The Daily Show, advised the Obama White House, and wrote the New York Times bestseller How To Be Black. He’s the creator and host of How To Citizen with Baratunde which Apple named one of its favorite podcasts of 2020 and for which he received the Social Impact Award at the 2021 iHeartRadio Podcast Awards. He’s also a founding partner of the new media startup Puck. In 2019, he delivered what MSNBC’s Brian Williams called “one of the greatest TED talks of all time.” Baratunde is unique in his ability to integrate and synthesize themes of race, culture, politics, and technology to explain where our nation is and where we can take it.”

“Demand the impossible, defend People’s Park!”
“Demand the impossible, defend People’s Park!” A rousing exhortation, by Osha Neumann, whom Caroline hosts this hour:
The tale of People’s Park in Berkeley – 1969 to now… humming…in ardent pertinence to our plight…
Devastation into which flows Community Par; destruction makes its move again, again – the garden roots and bloom
and here we are. Honoring Parks as necessary for Community.
Invoking the impossible, all over the place,
May 1000 community parks bloom.
https://www.berkeleyside.org/2022/08/12/opinion-defend-peoples-park-berkeley
Osha Neumann was born in New York City. He attended Swarthmore and Yale, then moved to New York where he took up painting, and helped found an anarchist Street gang, the Motherfuckers. From New York he moved to New Mexico, Berkeley, and then to Black Bear, a rural commune in Northern California. Returning to Berkeley he began painting murals, among them A People’s History of Telegraph Avenue, which has been named a Berkeley landmark. Since becoming a lawyer in 1987 and has represented, victims of police abuse, people arrested for committing civil disobedience, and the homeless. He continues to make art, collaborating with his son-in-law Jason DeAntonis in constructing larger than life size sculptures of found materials on an overgrown landfill in Albany California. He has remained politically active throughout his life, opposing wars, declared an undeclared, from Vietnam to Iraq, and supporting struggles against police brutality here at home, against apartheid in South Africa, and for the rights of Palestinians among other causes. His writing have appeared in Counterpunch, AlterNet, and various journals and newspapers.

All Natural Facts be social strategy metaphors
Caroline welcomes the return of Ron Kauk, Coyote Network News Yosemite Bureau Chief
to co-animate Jupiter & Uranus stationing, the desirable vision…of
re-designing the entire educational & Justice systems….to be in accord with Nature’s Guiding Genius.
Biomimicry schooling, bio-mimicry Justice etc.
Ron in more recent years has been working to express his appreciation for Yosemite. He has actively engaged with the Native American community which rightfully has a spiritual and historical connection to Yosemite. He worked on a project to restore Fern Spring as a beautiful and unlittered location where entry into Yosemite Valley can be celebrated by communing with its pristine water. And he has spent the summers as a volunteer in the Tuolumne Meadows campground supplying firewood for ranger camp, organizing cleanups, and reminding visitors through countless conversations about the beauty of Yosemite.
During the summers at Tuolumne Meadows, Ron visits his many familiar climbs and boulders, renewing his appreciation for each and every crack, knob, and glacier-polished surface that represents the etchings of geology. He is like a scholar reading ancient manuscripts, looking for undeciphered references and hidden meanings. He smells the wind, appreciates the thunderstorms, the sun, and the flow of the cascading rivers. Our awareness of these elements is the key to our understanding of the human condition. Life and nature are great teachers and offer many paths to insight, inspiration and appreciation. For Ron, it is a simple summary: “Take care of nature, and nature will take care of you.”
