How to Survive the End of the World

The Brown sisters give each other permission to rest, reflect on lessons and appreciations for the year, and ask for feedback! Note: When they recorded this episode, the sisters thought they were finishing early, not realizing that they were ahead of recording schedule and had the year done. So without any additional labor after recording this episode, they made it thru the full season. In case you were worried, they're good. And love you.

The sisters speak with students at Dartmouth about the political potency of this moment in context of our histories, uplifting lessons from our ancestors, this uprising time, finding our work and saving what we love. note: adrienne critiques the term 'people of color' in this episode, and to be clear, she is speaking not of the phrase in its original purpose of solidarity, but of the collapsing use of the phrase to erase the nuance of distinct cultural experiences.

adrienne and Autumn sit down to talk about their mutual journeys to understanding the magic that lies within, and can be drawn from the world around us. In this episode, the Brown sisters talk about spells that backfire, mycelia as metaphor for life force, and of course, Stevie Nicks.

Today we are joined by two of the most brilliant humans I know to debrief this election so far. Kat Aaron (@kataaron), podcast producer for Octavia's Parables, power mom, as well as voter engagement volunteer extraordinaire. Our other guest is University of Delaware professor Janine de Novais, one of adrienne's favorite race thinkers.  TRANSCRIPT - https://www.dropbox.com/s/15ip7hv23zslqtg/HTS_Election%20Day%20Debrief.pdf?dl=0 HTS ESSENTIALS SUPPORT Our Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow PEEP us on IG https://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/ TWEET @ us https://twitter.com/endoftheworldPC

In today’s episode, a re-run from last year, the Brown sisters interview the legendary Toshi Reagon about the making of the Parable of the Sower Opera, a production years in the making, based on the dystopian novel by Octavia E. Butler. We talked with her about turning earthseed into song, lessons from her mother, and the necessity of creative practice. In this episode Toshi makes it clear and plain why voting is a necessary part of our political participation!

This is a Detroit love affair of an episode. For How To Survive's first appearance at the Detroit Podcast Festival, we invited two Detroit based warriors for justice - 313 Liberation Zone's PG Watkins (ultimate_paygee) and Detroit Justice Center's Amanda Alexander (@A_S_Alexander). We discuss visions, abolition, and the unique ground that Detroit is for practicing our beliefs.
