  Try This: Tenants Are Fighting for Their Right to Clean Air 08.07.2026 34dk

  Enjoy this episode of Good Things, a Lemonada show that amplifies the good work being done by activists and organizers all over the country.  Most people think of pollution as something outside, like smog and exhaust. But gas stoves, ovens, furnaces, and water heaters can actually release nitrogen dioxide directly into your home. For renters, that's a problem without easy solutions: unlike homeowners, they can't simply swap in safer, cleaner energy sources, and landlords and policymakers have been slow to act. In this episode, host Gloria Riviera speaks with Adama Moussa Harouna and Tanushree Dutta Isaacman, organizers at Action in Montgomery, about their work pushing for safer living conditions, lower toxic emissions, and a more sustainable energy future for renters.

  TOMS Founder Blake Mycoskie Tells Michael Pollan How Success Broke Him 27.05.2026 1sa 4dk

  New series sneak peek! No Magic Pill is hosted by TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, who fell apart after building and selling one of the most recognized brands on the planet. After a years-long journey through every therapy and treatment imaginable, Blake is finally talking honestly about the dark side of success and the reality of mental health. In No Magic Pill, Blake travels the country to sit down with survivors, experts, and cultural icons who have looked into the darkness and found a way out. These aren’t stories of quick fixes; they are honest conversations about the daily choices, big and small, that create a path forward. When Blake was at the lowest point in his life, a small dose of a psychoactive cacti called San Pedro showed him the truth underneath everything. He recorded the session and in this episode he shares certain moments with journalist Michael Pollan (author of How to Change Your Mind) to break down what happened. They discuss the power of pairing psychedelics with meditation, the breakthroughs that can come with ego disillusion, and the misguided assumption that’s driving the belief that AI can become conscious. Plus, how Michael’s experiencing gardening while on mushrooms inspired the opening chapter of his new book, A World Appears. In this conversation you’ll learn: Why psychedelics are unlike any other drug The importance of set and setting when taking plant medicine  Why light doses are often more effective than heavier doses How to break the pattern of ruminating thoughts The critical period after a psychedelic experience The opportunities and dangers of AI therapy Enough Foundation's mission is to spread reminders in every form — bracelets, messages, actions, community — until feeling ENOUGH becomes the cultural default.

  Death Doula Answers What Happens When We Die 20.05.2026 46dk

  Are you ready for a sharp turn? One minute we’re debating love languages, pickleball etiquette, and loyalty to your barber. Next, we sit down with a death doula/soul midwife who shares what dying feels like in the room, how to navigate grief, and the emotional realities of end-of-life care. She helps Mandy with a pressing question and a listener who asks how to support a friend with a terminal illness. There’s laughter, awkwardness, surprising honesty, and a reminder that joy can still exist even in life’s hardest moments. Correction: The quote, "We're all here to walk each other home" is misattributed in our podcast. It’s by American spiritual teacher and author Ram Dass.
