Encore: Digging Into Environmental Justice | A Conversation with Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s President Matt Rader
Originally released July 4, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week’s episode, we speak with Matt Rader, the President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. We dig deep into environmental justice and what it means for people to have access to green spaces and the many positive effects it has not only on the aesthetic of a city but the many mental, physical, social, and overall health benefits. We’ve been wanting to cover this for a long time and Matt beautifully walks us through what environmental justice is, how it affects all of us, and the many models and programs PHS has put into effect to give Philadelphia access, experience, and a deeper and healthier connection to nature. We are so grateful to PHS and Matt Rader for his time, heart, and absolute dedication to getting Philly more access, agency, and connection to all things green. Lots of Love.Show Notes:Conquer The Soil InstagramPHS Online🔎 Please find out more info and message us at: Website: www.kindredpodcast.co Instagram: @thekindredpod Facebook: @Kindred ☕️ Please support us at Buy Me A Coffee or Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts✏️ Please follow, rate, and review - wherever you listen to your podcasts.💚 Thanks.

Encore: One Woman. Three Oceans. 21,000 Kilometers | A Conversation with Adventurer Melanie Vogel
Originally released January 23, 2024. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025. In this week’s episode, we speak with long-haul hiker and adventurer Melanie Vogel. Melanie is the first woman to walk the Trans Canada Trail, the longest recreational trail in the world. She walked from the Atlantic Ocean across and up to the Arctic Ocean, then down and over to the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 21,000 kilometers. Solo. Melanie’s story is one of unexpected connections, harrowing experiences, brutal weather, stunning beauty, finding a soul mate, finding oneself, and the slow and emerging awareness of what it is to be human. We were spellbound by her story of letting go of fear, anxiety, and control that we carry in our daily lives, and emerging as her true self - more than she had ever felt before. And this story holds, to date, my most favorite meet-cute. Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn have nothing on this one. Please rate and review us! And share this episode with your people. It’s an incredible story for so many reasons and we’d love to hear what you loved about it. Lots of Love.

Our final episode of the season was supposed to air earlier this month, but due to the quickly changing political landscape, we couldn’t release it as planned. It was a tough call, but the right one. In this episode, Kate will be reading the statement we shared in response to all of this, which you may have already seen on our social media or in our newsletter.As we close out another season, we’d love to hear from you—what did you enjoy, and what do you want more of? New episodes will drop in April, and we can’t wait to be back.

Encore: Wild Horses | A Conversation with Tracy Wilson, Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign
Originally released April 25, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week's conversation, we speak with Tracy Wilson, the Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) on a critical subject we knew little to nothing about the wild Mustangs and Burros of the West and North Western United States. She walks us through their challenges, the critical edge they live on, and why we must save this iconic historical animal. AWHC believes "There Is A Better Way" to work with supporting and managing these beautiful and powerful animals through programs like their fertility control, or PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida) the largest program of its kind in the world today. However, brutal and inhumane management via roundups by helicopter still remains the method of corralling the horses and burros, creating chaos, injury, extreme stress, and death. We also believe there is a better way. And we find out what that is, and what we owe these animals that long to live wild and free on our American landscape.Show Note Links:American Wild Horse CampaignEric Lundgren Study on BurrosThe Bureau of Land Management🔎 Please find out more info and message us at: Website: www.kindredpodcast.co Instagram: @thekindredpod Facebook: @Kindred ☕️ Please support us at Buy Me A Coffee or Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts✏️ Please follow, rate, and review - wherever you listen to your podcasts.💚 Thanks.

Encore: The Power of Fire with Tony Incashola Jr. and Stephanie Gillin of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes
We are dropping this episode as an encore in light of the devastating fires LA have been experiencing the last few weeks. There are so many reasons these fires are happening and we wanted to re-share this episode on fire in support of answering some of the questions we have been seeing on social media and hearing on news platforms.
In this week's conversation, we speak with Tony Incashola Jr., forest manager for CSKT (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), and Stephanie Gillin, information and education program manager and former wildlife biologist for the CSKT at the Flathead Indian Reservation.
Tony and Stephanie walk us through the history of fire and what it means to their tribes and how the criminalization of their fire practices not only impacted the health of the landscape but significantly changed how fire affects the land, ecosystems, and people of Montana and the general western part of the United States.
