Vicki Robin here. You may remember that I was the host of What Could Possibly Go Right?, a podcast my colleagues at Post Carbon Institute and I produced from 2020-2023. During that time I was fortunate to interview dozens of “cultural scouts,” people who see far and serve the common good.
One of those conversations last year was with Joanna Macy, the beloved guide and elder who has taught so many of us how to dance through the fire with grief, gratitude, courage, and commitment.
At the time, I wondered if that conversation might be one of Joanna’s last public tellings of her story and vision. But today I am so thankful to share a new podcast called We Are the Great Turning, a moving, intimate conversation between Joanna and climate coach Jess Serrante.
You can listen to the first episode here:

As AI drives a boom in massive, power-hungry data centers, tech companies are targeting small, vulnerable communities for sprawling “hyperscale” complexes. In Pennsylvania’s Lackawanna County, the tiny borough of Archbald, facing five proposed facilities, has become a flashpoint in a growing nationwide backlash over who pays the price for the digital future.
