In this diverse and innovative space, we facilitate a highly collaborative, open-minded conversation diving into the issues our society faces today, while being sure to bring corresponding resolution to the forefront . We’re here to address the problems whilst collaborating on visionary solutions, as our increasingly interdependent yet fractured global society struggles through intersecting crises in these unparalleled times of change. The monetary system is at the heart of our society. It touches everything in our lives, it dictates who lives and dies. We believe a bright future for humanity is one without currency. Society is collapsing before our eyes, and there has never been a more vital or exciting opportunity to both come together for the sake of forestalling the end of human life as we know it, while also recreating life on earth as we know it.

GAZA FRONTLINES: Halaa and Mohammad Need Our Help to Escape GENOCIDE
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
WHERE IS THE HUMANITY as we live-stream a genocidal war in Gaza against a captive, innocent people being wiped out by nuclear superpower of Israel, funded by the USA? The hope and humanity is in the people of Gaza themselves and in the response of people who care around the world doing their part to help. Moneyless Society is highlighting the real, heartbreaking, unimaginably horrific stories of regular people living through this nightmare with their families. We brought on Mohamad and Halaa, a doctor and law student to tell us their heart-rending stories of bombing, mass death of family members, and to use our platform to uplift their stories in the hope YOU will help. They're raising the money to buy their freedom, to buy the lives of their family from this monstrous system. They need $7000 a person to get their families out of a war zone, who are mostly sick and elderly or young children. This is a show about finding hope in the wreckage, it is a horrific but inspiring story of human goodness in the face of annihilation, and the amount of hope at the end-- entirely depends on how much YOU the listeners take up this cause and help. Campaigns here, donate and share, not just in social media but directly with people who will help!

Breaking the Trauma of Israel and Palestine with Daniel Maté
Friday Dec 15, 2023
Friday Dec 15, 2023
None of this is normal and we shouldn't get used to it! The horrifying crisis in Palestine is a collective trauma decades in the making that we are just now witnessing from the outside. The great Daniel Maté, co-author of The Myth of Normal and mental chiropractor joins us to unpack the terrible history and reality of what's going on, breaking the myth that it's too complicated to take a stand on, or the larger myth that ANY OF THIS IS NORMAL. We take a spiraling deep dive into what's going on underneath the surface of the October 7th attack and the psychological distortion and insanity we consider normal under late stage capitalism. This is a must-listen talk that unpacks the situation on both sides and goes to the ROOT in geopolitics and in the cycles of trauma that are inside us all us.

If it didn't feel DOOMED, it wouldn't be an ADVENTURE! Long awaited pod with Charles McBryde!

We talk with freelance humanitarian TikTok star and anarchist revolutionary Charles McBryde about the trials, the alienation, the risk, and the ultimate reward of the extraordinary life that awaits anyone who truly throws themselves into the great work of fighting for a living future.
We talk about how taking on the biggest problems in our world, though emotionally and physically extreme, is more unburdening than giving in to inaction. Answer the call and step out the door!

POST-DOOM: RIP The High Priest of Collapse Michael Dowd
Sunday Oct 29, 2023
Sunday Oct 29, 2023
Michael Dowd, the high priest of collapse, the prophet of (post) doom, and a good friend, passed away in his sleep last night. The world just lost one of its most vital human resources for navigating the unfolding & accelerating collapse that has really just begun. Michael was an amazing human being, the kindest doomer on earth, one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable people exploring the horrifying REALITY of ecological collapse, system failure, and the destructiveness of civilization itself--always with warmth, humor, and compassion. He was a beautiful soul, a good friend. People have said they're sorry for my loss-- I say it is humanity's loss, we lost our best guidance counselor helping us navigate through the complex emotional and societal landscape of a society in freefall, of inevitable, unstoppable, and perhaps sudden collapse. This is a conversation we recorded last summer, I was so nervous and intimidated approaching him, but he was so damn nice, an instant friend. I reached out to him to counter the hopelessness that we can't DO anything about all this, that's where I still hope he's wrong. I challenge every one of you to keep his spirit of compassionate awareness alive. Be kind, shit's going down--it could all end in a moment.

Why Aren’t There More Black Anti-capitalists? (ft. Blackleftis)
Wednesday Oct 04, 2023
Wednesday Oct 04, 2023
A simple question with a profound answer that cuts into the exploitation, propaganda, and militant resistance to any change to the status quo: WHY aren't there more black anticapitalists? This is the question that prompted our guest Lawrence of @blackleftis to become an activist and soldier on the front lines of the meme wars, and to find the others in radical spaces that are all too often dominated by white voices. This question digs into the heart of exploitation, repression, propaganda, the cognitive dissonance that keeps people defending systems that oppress them.

Global Poverty is Preventable Genocide with Thomas Pogge
Wednesday Sep 20, 2023
Wednesday Sep 20, 2023
Is global poverty improving, or getting worse? In this episode we explore the true reality of the horror of deprivation and mass death from a lack of the basic necessities or generic drugs to cure medieval diseases-- from a lack of money. Capitalist apologists claim poverty is decreasing, while the line is set at a measly $2 a day-- increase it by even 2 more and the number of people in extreme poverty explodes. 18 million people die every year, 20,000 CHILDREN every day, and 1 in 2 people lives on less than $5.50 a day. To explore this topic we brought on one of if not THE greatest expert on global poverty, professor Thomas Pogge to counter the establishment narrative that everything is getting better, and work to eradicate poverty as we know it through systemic change.
