Talk Earthy To MeClimate-Ready CommunitiesToday, we’re dusting off an old-school idea that’s having a major glow-up: homesteading.
The world’s on fire (literally), grocery prices are feral, and suddenly the people growing kale and keeping backyard chickens look like absolute geniuses. In this episode, we sift through the myths, roast the prepper stereotypes, and explore how modern homesteading has become the sexiest climate solution disguised as a lifestyle.
From rooftop beekeepers in Brooklyn to backyard farms in the suburbs, homesteading isn’t about escaping society — it’s about rebuilding it from the soil up. It’s creative, regenerative...
2025-12-0220 minTalk Earthy To MeE-Wastes Toxic TruthsYour phone, your laptop, that drawer full of “someday I’ll fix it” gadgets—they’re all part of the fastest-growing trash problem on Earth: e-waste. In 2022, we dumped 62 million tons of it, and less than a quarter was properly recycled. In this episode, we spill the toxic tea on what’s inside our discarded tech, where it really ends up, who’s paying the price, and how we can flip the script before the planet drowns in dead electronics.

2025-11-1812 minTalk Earthy To MeWill the Reefs Survive?I used to think coral reefs were just pretty underwater rocks. Turns out, they’re alive, sensitive, and right now they’re being ghosted by climate change.
We’re in the middle of the largest global coral bleaching event in recorded history — 84% of reefs worldwide are under heat stress. When reefs lose their color, they lose their superpowers: food, storm protection, and homes for a quarter of all marine life. That means fewer fish on our plates, fragile coastlines, and entire communities facing crisis.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the state of our seas. Oceans cover 70% of the planet and produce more than half the oxygen we breathe, yet they’re buckling under the weight of climate change, plastic pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. From rising temperatures to disappear...

Hate to break it to you—but most of that stuff isn’t actually getting recycled.

Because trash isn’t inevitable—it’s political. And together, we can rewrite the story.

During the 1990's, red wine (consumed in moderate amounts) gained the reputation of being beneficial for heart health. But that research has largely been debunked, and in 2024, it's accepted by most people that alcohol of any kind isn't good for us. And yet when we look at the longest-lived, happiest cultures in the world (like the Blue Zones cultures), we see that moderate alcohol use is a part of many of their lives. So what's the deal?

But if ultra-processed foods are the main problem with modern diets, does this mean foods that are just processed (not ultra) — kitchen staples like oil, sugar, and refinded flour — are better than we thought? We break down four categories of food processing, the latest research on the health ramifications of ultra-processed foods, and what this research means for everyone seeking a healthy, sometimes-but-not-all-the-time relationship with UPF.
