LATEST EPISODE 🔗

A kid draws something. Doesn't matter what — a horse, a spaceship, a person with the arms coming straight out of the head. And they hold it up, and the drawing is, by any honest measure, terrible. And they are completely, radiantly proud of it. There's no gap yet between what they meant and what th…

Follow the Food

Okay, think about the last tomato you ate. Not a good one. A regular one — grocery store, middle of winter, pale on the inside, kind of mealy. Doesn't really taste like anything. That tomato traveled further than most people go on vacation. Picked green, somewhere warm, weeks before you saw it. Pu…
Here's something worth sitting with: the people who govern us mostly come from a narrow slice of the rest of us. Lawyers, for one. In the United States, they fill more than half of Congress. But it's wider than any single profession — it's wealth. The system favors the people who already have. Run…
There's a word that keeps coming up when you talk to people who build software for a living. The word is fork. To fork something means you take an existing codebase — someone else's rules — and you branch off. You make your own version. You run it your own way. And nobody can stop you. We're at F…
There's a moment. A specific moment when someone decides to stop waiting for permission. Maybe it's quiet. Maybe nobody's watching. But something shifts — and the path they were supposed to take starts to look a lot less interesting than the one they're about to make up entirely. Today, we're tal…
Here's the thing about the Amazon basin. There's a number scientists use when they talk about it — the number of species living there that we haven't discovered yet. And here's what's strange about that number: we don't know what it is. We can't know what it is. We only know it's enormous. That som…

Water in the West

Water doesn't begin at the tap. It begins in the dark—underground, in aquifers older than memory. As snow in mountain air. As vapor. As storm. Something that refuses to stay still. By the time it reaches us, it has already lived many lives. There's a saying in the West: whiskey is for drinking, wa…
This is the third episode. The last in a three-part series. My Place, My Sovereignty. Recorded at the Eco Nomic Futures Summit. A gathering about systems—but really about people. About land. About new economies. I'm Tate Chamberlin. In this episode, I'm joined by Ruben Hernandes and Miles Richard…

Gangstagrass

This story starts at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City, Nebraska. At the HATCH Summit. A gathering about world-building and cultivating relationships—set in a town with a long memory, including its role in the Underground Railroad. And from there, it moves to music. To Gangstagrass. They're Emmy-nom…

BioCulture

This is episode two, recorded at Eco Nomic Futures in San Francisco. Not a conference exactly—more a meeting point. Where conversations crossed paths around food, land, economics, and what happens when systems lose their connection to life. Tate Chamberlin is joined by Jacob Huhn and Warinkwi Flor…
