In times of fast-paced change and challenge, how do we hold onto our humanity? Each week, the Humankind on Public Radio podcast presents stories of doers and dreamers who strive to make our planet a more humane and livable place. From our award-winning public radio series, the podcast features David Freudberg’s moving documentaries and dialogues. Hear new and evergreen episodes.
The integration of the man-made and the natural environments constitutes a green infrastructure we should restore and preserve for the sake of more livable communities, and as an act of social justice in the interest of low-income people unable to take expensive vacations in distant rural locales.
