#solarpunkpresentspodcast — Public Fediverse posts

Really enjoying the Carbon Neutral Strike updates from Aleya; she has some really great insights and it is very cool to listen to her wonder about how things work and then later find out.

If we were to do another podcast with her, what subjects (from what she has talked about so far) would you most be interested in? Reply to this thread or DM us.

7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?

In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.

6.7: Restorative Justice & Reconciliation With Rev Nora Jacob

Join us for a conversation with Rev. Nora Jacob on a better way to dispense justice than to subject offenders to a strictly brutal prison experience. A way that, by recognizing that hurt people hurt people, aims to empower, not just victims, but also offenders, to heal. This isn’t just showing mercy to incarcerated people, it significantly lowers the chances that they’ll end up back in prison after their release. That's a win for us all.

Season 3 Episode 4: Capitalism, Community, and Friendship with Elia Ayoub

Why is it easier to imagine a zombie apocalypse than it is a generative, sustainable future? This question drives Elia Ayoub, host of The Fire These Times. Tune in today to listen to Ariel and Elia discussing imaginative expansion of solarpunk, the “realist” impulse, climate anxiety and grief, and community building in a crisis. Also The Office. Trust us, it’s an important part of this whole conversation.

Hey friends and followers, @xtinadlr and I have been having a discussion about our Patreon support tiers - if we created a support tier at $1 USD / month, would that encourage people to sign up to support the podcast? Or is it just basically the same as the current $3USD tier? What do you think?

Since I'm located in Canada, the lowest support tier starts at $4.50 up here, which is kind of a lot, so I thought a tier below that might be more accessible for folks around the world who want to support us, but just can't justify the $4.50/month (or however much it translates to in their country's currency).

So, we decided to poll folks to get a sense of what people might like! What do you think about our adding a $1USD tier?
