Description
You count! Your voice, compassion and dedication to doing the right thing are part and parcel of the Inner Revolution that is sweeping our world, and Inner Revolutionary Radio is your platform. We may not be perfect, but we are standing up to mindless conformity, facing our negative patterns and beliefs, working together to make this a better world. Inner Revolutionary Radio gives us a voice and a way of joining forces. We share a vision: a recognition of our Oneness with one another and the planet; an acknowledgement of our Accountability for our impact on ourselves and each other; a dedication to Mutual Support, knowing that we can’t thrive in a world that is not also thriving. And we’re developing the courage to stand up to all tyrannies, even those in our heads. Each week we offer News of the Inner Revolution and introduce you to guests who are shaking up the world. Tune in, participate, and support this vision.

As Inner Revolutionary Radio comes to a close, we’re taking stock of what we have and haven’t accomplished over these past four years. We’ve interviewed some amazing guests.
Most of the work being done toward changing how people relate to the environment and social justice is well-intentioned, but ends up being ineffective, or worse, counterproductive.
Beth Green claims that our society is waging war against us. The White House proposed tax cuts are supposed to help the majority of Americans, yet more than 2/3 of the benefits would go to the top 1%. Income keeps floating to the top.
The InnerRevolution supports an evolution in our economy to move away from the disproportionate distribution of wealth toward an economy and society where individuals' needs are met. How can we do this? Esteban Kelly has some answers.
Everyone knows that there is a lot of fighting and rage in our country and our world right now! So much hatred, so much blaming! Why IS that? It’s because people are not getting our needs met and we are blaming each other.
The economic and political system that reigns supreme does not care about the health or welfare of anyone. It's a machine that chews up executives, secretaries and fast food workers alike.
Many people are angry about the policies of the new U.S. government, and the word “resistance” is on many people’s tongues.
Do men and women, working in the same job, with the same level of education and experience, make the same amount of money? All too often the answer is no.
Do men and women, working in the same job, with the same level of education and experience, make the same amount of money? All too often the answer is no. Co-hosts Todd Benton and Helen Hillix will speak with Natasha Lamb, a woman who is working to change that, as well as a host of other issues. She is a managing partner in Arjuna Capital, whose engagements with Apple, Intel, Amazon, Expedia, and eBay have led all of them to commit to Gender Pay Equity today. Her 2014 landmark negotiation with Exxon Mobil led to the company’s first public report on global warming and carbon asset risk. What led Natasha to this line of work? How does she and her partners get these companies to make these kinds of changes? What's next? And what can we learn from her and her organization’s approach? Join us!
While we’ve been living in a business-as-usual world, the world has not been business as usual. Historic floods and fires; frightening levels of addiction and death; high levels of polarization and anxiety; and more.
While we’ve been living in a business-as-usual world, the world has not been business as usual. Historic floods and fires; frightening levels of addiction and death; high levels of polarization and anxiety; and more. What are we doing about it? Beth Green, aka Granny Rocks, says that, generally speaking, we’re not addressing the source of our problems. Democrats often offer tepid incremental responses that don’t match the needs. Republicans are trying to go backward on environmental protection, drugs, inclusivity and the social safety net. Interest groups express outrage but little unity FOR anything. Polarization, racism, scapegoating and hate are on the rise. And we’re not addressing the essential problem: Most of us don’t feel safe in our world, and there are economic, social, spiritual and emotional roots for that feeling of unsafety. We must and can do better, says Granny Rocks. Tune in. Hear her thoughts about the roots of our problems and a direction for their solution.
The Rabid Right is NOT simply people expressing their opinions. It is people who are insulting, venomous and sometimes even threatening. They have been encouraged by candidates like Donald Trump who don’t care about facts or decency.
Join Sky and hosts Helen Hillix and Todd Benton as they explore what it takes to live cooperatively and why it is becoming so popular all over the world.
Join Sky and hosts Helen Hillix and Todd Benton as they explore what it takes to live cooperatively and why it is becoming so popular all over the world. What IS cooperative housing? Are there different kinds of intentional communities? Find out whether this is a trend just for Baby Boomers or whether younger people are drawn to living cooperatively and why. What are the advantages and major challenges of living in a cooperative situation? How do they resolve the inevitable conflicts? What makes one cooperative successful and another not? How does cooperative living relate to being an Inner Revolutionary and living according to Oneness, Accountability and Mutual Support? Is it something that you might consider? Join our conversation and see if you get excited about this expanding option.
In 1950, guest Beth Green heard a popular song: “Lucky, lucky, lucky me, I’m a lucky son of a gun. I work 8 hours, I sleep 8 hours and have 8 hours of fun.” Even as a child, Beth was baffled by those words.
Can we stay positive in a world full of turmoil and pain? Can we remain calm in such challenging times? Hell, yes! says Granny Rocks, formerly known as Beth Green. Or at least she tries. And so must we.
Can we stay positive in a world full of turmoil and pain? Can we remain calm in such challenging times? Hell, yes! says Granny Rocks, formerly known as Beth Green. Or at least she tries. And so must we. Why? Granny Rocks will answer that question through a new Granny Rocks Experience called Bathe in Joy. She’ll be offering it in San Diego via videoconference on September 9th, 10-noon. You can attend in person in San Diego or via the net anywhere. And as always, the event will combine her original music, commentary and humor. It will also include the song, Bathe in Joy, one of her most fun tracks off her latest album Rumblings of Revolution. But first, she’ll drop by our show to talk about staying courageous and positive. And we’ll be playing some of her inspirational songs that we haven’t shared before. We’ll also be asking Granny if she really bathes in joy and, if so, how does a 72-year-old chronically ill semi-invalid do it? So tune in and let’s see if we can bathe in joy, too!
