Chris Hedges is the author of several books on politics and dissent. In May, 2015, he gave a speech in Berkeley as a benefit for KPFA, discussing his latest book at the time,
Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt. . Afterward, he was joined by host Richard Wolinsky for a Q&A that included questions by the host as well as by the audience. The Q&A is featured on today’s program, and is remarkable for its prescience. Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump announced his candidacy, and not even Chris Hedges could have predicted how quickly America changed.

Robert Macfarlane, whose latest book is “Ghostways: Two Journeys in Unquiet Places,” written in collaboration with artist Stanley Donwood and writer Dan Richards, is interviewed by host Richard Wolinsky.
This short book examines two strange areas in England, Orford Ness, a spit of sand in the southeast of England, not far from Cambridge, which was used as a weapons testing site in the Cold War, and the holloways of Dorset, strange paths beaten over centuries, and often covered over by trees, almost as caves.
In this interview, recorded December 8, 2020, he talks about the book, both places in England, how the pandemic has affected his life, and how climate change is affected by the shutdown.
