Great episode!, Julia Serrano's voice is a great addition to the so called discussion.
Are we sure? Is it untouched though? The West in the US certainly wasn’t untouched or unmanaged. What is “wild” what is “natural”? Are we repeating our settler privilege by ignoring the Indigenous populations? Certainly the case in the US when people stay this stuff and ignore my ancestors.
Whether someone lives on tribal land or not…does not change whether they are Indigenous. Indigenous Studies 101….
great episode Cara
Wait! What happened to the 'same two questions'? I was really looking forward to them.
Really upsetting to hear Brian's take at the end, seems like very short-sighted analysis so I'm glad the host politely called him out. #talknerdypodcast
What a good episode! I learned so much about CF!
castbox got the wrong audio somehow. the title is Keith Cooper but the episode itself is from March 2019. I was able to find the correct episode on SoundCloud, though
great episode
