Kuvaus

This year, we mark 50 years of Edward Abbey’s The Monkey Wrench Gang [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monkey_Wrench_Gang]—a countercultural classic that helped ignite the radical environmental movement. First published in 1975, the novel introduced the world to Bonnie, Doc, Seldom Seen Smith, and Hayduke—and dared readers to imagine sabotage as sacred duty. There’s no one better suited to lead this conversation than legendary bookseller and rare book expert Ken Sanders—a close friend of Abbey, a fierce defender of the desert, and a long-time voice in the literary and ecological worlds of the American West. Through wine, words, and wide-open questions, we’ll explore Abbey’s complicated legacy and enduring impact. Expect sharp insights, spirited debate, and a space to reflect on radical environmentalism in an era of climate emergency.

Britton Welsch - Beehive Cheese

Not sure what Beehive Cheese see's in our podcast, but we are lucky to have them sponsor us! Britton Welsch is a GEM, and we are fortunate to have him on the show! According to Britton's LinkedIn "Avid foodie, and farmer's market junkie. Beehive Cheese is my passion and gets me out of bed in the morning. I love telling stories, and making friends with cheese." As the second generation of a family-owned company, Britton grew up at Beehive Cheese. He's watched his dad, and uncle build a creamery from scratch, using second hand equipment. Laughably, Britton's dad and uncle only had 8 days of cheesemaking experience between the two of them. They took a giant leap and we’re still here 18 years later thriving. It was through this experience that Britton learned the values of hard work, trust, and being wise with resources. At Beehive, Britton has always believed in supporting the community, treating employees with both compassion and respect, and having a good time making award-winning cheese. Britton is so proud of Beehive's B-Corp certification. Most importantly, it gave Beehive a way to measure and assess the culture we’d already built from the ground up, and reveal blind spots. They did well on our audit, and learned that there is still more to be improved upon to truly use our business as a “force for good.” As we see it, Britton has been living by a code, "As an artist of a consumable product, hands down the most rewarding aspect is making a product that brings people together to share joy." Which for that we couldn't be more proud to have them as a sponsor!
