FAR OUT #115 ~ Thinking, Feeling & Bridging the Gap in the Age of COVID

Episode Description

We sit down to talk about how to bridge the gap with those we love and live with around COVID and other polarized issues and why the challenges we're facing as a society are much more complex and nuanced than the way they are often framed by reductionist mainstream media narratives.
