Ankur Delight: Conflict as a Place to Build From

Ankur Delight is a conflict mediator, farmer, mathematician, and one of Harrison's oldest friends. They met at the Gandhi Ashram and in this conversation they explore why conflict might actually be a gift, what really happens in a mediation room, and what it means to build community and connection in a world that keeps pulling itself apart.

Ainle Ó Cairealláin: Language as Infrastructure

Ainle Ó Cairealláin has just returned from Cuba, where he travelled as part of the Nuestra América Convoy's humanitarian mission. He's also one of the most compelling voices in Ireland on the relationship between language, community, and identity. He and Harrison talk about language as a form of infrastructure, what it means to hold a culture together from the inside out, and why the communities with the least are often the ones who know most about resilience.

Clare Dunne: Making the Thing You Need

She and Harrison talk about craft, identity, and the courage it takes to make the thing you need when nobody else will make it for you. Contains strong language.
