- 59 minutes 21 secondsNobody Cares About Climate Change
Christiana Figueres joins Rainn Wilson to dig deep into fossil fuels, climate change, eco anxiety, spirituality, self-love, and what it really means to become “stubbornly optimistic” in a collapsing world. From the Paris Climate Agreement to her own battle with suicidal thoughts, Christiana unpacks the connection between personal healing and planetary healing, and why humanity’s future depends on changing our relationship with nature and ourselves. This episode explores climate justice, renewable energy, emotional resilience, mindfulness, activism burnout, and the spiritual path forward in a time of global crisis.

23 April 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 22 minutesUnpacking "Drugs" (w/ Pete Holmes, Ari Shaffir, Neal Brennan, Dr Joe & More)
Are psychedelics & mind-altering substances like ayahuasca, DMT, psilocybin and ketamine a path to healing and spiritual awakening? Or a dangerous shortcut to enlightenment? Let's look back on how Neal Brennan, Pete Holmes, Reggie Watts, Josh Radnor, Arthur Brooks, and Dr. Joe Dispenza debate the benefits, risks, and meaning behind psychedelic experiences, from ego death to divine connection. We dig deep into consciousness, addiction, spirituality, and whether true transformation can come from a substance or must be earned through deeper inner work.
