We embark on a bold new series, 'How Then Shall We Live?' which explores whether or not our personal choices matter in the fight against climate change. This episode considers the decision to have children (or not) and how that decision impacts our lives, their lives, and our planet.

- No Place Like Home is hosted by Mary Anne Hitt and Anna Jane Joyner
- We are produced by Zach Mack
- Our theme music is by River Whyless
- And we are supported by the Sierra Club
