Alan Weisman: Friend of Homo Sapiens

Science journalist Alan Weisman’s prescient 2007 book "The World Without Us" described what would happen to nature if humans suddenly ceased to exist. To find answers, he traveled to Chernobyl, Micronesia's coral reefs, and far beyond. For this special Earth Day 2020 episode, he explains what humans need to do to make sure we don't disappear. Listen along as Weisman connects the dots between food supplies, zoonotic diseases, global warming, and maybe a brighter future. Special thanks to our listeners for supporting us during this unpredictable time, that squirrel that borrowed some of our questions, and Connor Button, theme music creator.
