In this episode, we dig into the origins of our name, the many perils of yes, and, trickster thinking and more-than-human design. We try and figure out what Milwaukee really means and how it figures into potential climate futures. Trudy and I discuss the good life, how our work is like gardening, liminal cookies, and oblique strategies. Yes, my friends, You’ll find all that and more on this very first episode of Tending Tomorrow.
