    Ep 27 - Spiritual Covenant with Adrian Jacobs

    Earth Day Special! - Imagining better futures with Dr. Sibonokuhle Ncube

    Happy Earth Day, Undercurrents listeners! Today, we're sharing an episode from our sister podcast, Relief Development & Podcast, produced by my amazing colleagues Meghan Mast and Christy Kauffman. We hear from Dr. Sibonokuhle Ncube who says climate change chose her since she learned as a child that people in her rural village in Zimbabwe suffered from drought and hunger. But today she doesn't focus on all that is broken and what to fear, she focuses her energy on working towards a better future.  Undercurrents is produced with support from ⁠⁠⁠Kindred Credit Union⁠⁠.⁠ Original music: Brian MacMillan Artwork: Jesse Bergen
