Nurture Pod 39: Mediating the Media

In this episode Ginger and Iris dive into the "theory of change" a term coined by David Bornstein of the Solutions Journalism Network. Basically the idea that reporting on how bad everything it will lead to a better world.

Now that the global news stream on our phones is being updated every 2 minutes how can our nervous systems handle to being inundated with everything that's going wrong while being offered few if any solutions?

Can a better world emerge when so many avoid, deny, blame and don't trust the media? What could nurture journalism look like and what impact would it have on how we view and respond to the world around us?

Notes:

This conversation was inspired by an interview of David Bornstein by Krista Tippet of the On Being podcast. Find the whole episode here.

Nurture Pod 38: We Never Left the garden

Happy Beltane (aka May Day) everyone. In this episode Iris and Ginger talk about the blossoming of life as spring tips towards summer, doing the dew magic, being ecstatic as our natural state and the power of imagination.

Light a candle. Pick yourself a bouquet of flowers. Eat cake under the crescent moon tonight. Magic is the real deal. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
