    Exposing the Catastrophe of the Site C Dam w/ Sarah Cox

    The Site C Dam is a mega-hydro project currently under construction on the Peace River in Treaty 8 Territory in Northeastern BC. Global dam experts have come out publicly to say that they have never witnessed a more secretive, unaccountable project than the Site C Dam. Steeped in backdoor deals, geological question marks and an unknown price tag, the Site C Dam is a disaster in the making. We're lucky enough to have journalist Sarah Cox here to school us. Sarah is an award winning author and journalist currently writing for the legendary outlet The Narwal.  Buckle up. This one is nuts.  Breaching the Peace - Book by Sarah Cox  https://www.ubcpress.ca/breaching-the-peace Support me on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/lukewallace

    Psychedelics w/ Aaron Nesmith-Beck

    As we venture further into the unknown, I'm inspired by the potential of psychedelic assisted therapy and exploration as a solution to our collectively narrowing view of what our purpose is here on earth. I'm stoked to share, with you, my conversation with Aaron Nesmith-Beck about all sorts of topics related to the current and future use of Psychedelics here in so called North America.

    Five Friends Rolling with the Changes

    The political and social responses to COVID19 have impacted us all in unique ways and somehow still there is a common thread of experience. I've had a really hard time adapting to the shifting normal as I search for purpose and stability in my life. Fortunately I was able to connect with 5 friends of mine who each shared their experience of the last few months with me, and which I edited into this episode.  If you enjoy this podcast, please consider leaving a review and rating.
