The Rest Season
As we enter year three of life in a pandemic, we’re giving ourselves a gift: The permission to not be present. To slow down even more. To surrender to the universe with the trust of knowing others will materialize what we cannot in this moment. After planning, recording, and releasing 64 episodes across four seasons, it's time for your hosts, Monica and Page, to take a step back! We’ll be taking a break from recording new episodes this year. Welcome to the Rest Season.
Over the next several months, we’ll be revisiting some of our favorite book conversations, like episode 20 when Page sat down solo with Dr. Fannie Rushing and ended up with so many hours of tape that we had to break the episode into 5 parts! We’ll be doubling back to some of our biggest podcast moments, like episode 32, one of our few live shows, where we had Monica’s apartment full of friends for an episode with adrienne maree brown on the Earthseed series! We’ll go back to convos in times of train takeovers and disruptions, like episode 28 on Demand the Impossible with Bill Ayers, recorded blocks away from where young people from Assata’s Daughters & BTGNC Collective led an action on CTA trains about the new #NoCopAcademy campaign.
We want to honor all of these conversations and give them the space they deserve to be received, absorbed, and carried into the spaces we find ourselves in next. Thank you to everyone who continues to tune in to our episodes, to those who give monthly to keep the podcast online and accessible through our Patreon, and to those who email us affirmations and book requests to discuss in future episodes—don’t worry, we’re keeping a list!
