In this clip from Future Mending Radio, we react to the pure, clear call of the Northern Cardinal.

Listen to a snippet of Episode 11 of Future Mending Radio where a friend and I listen to common Ontario bird calls and share jokes, facts and identification tips.

Why not put bird songs in your brain alongside pop songs?

Episode 10 of Future Mending Radio is delicious!

It's about chocolate from Chocosol, a chocolate company that considers its impacts from bean to bar. Plus it's got a brief history of chocolate and an intro to Forest Gardens.

I interviewed the co-founder of Chocosol Traders for my podcast Future Mending Radio. I new they took sustainability very seriously, that's why I interviewed them, but I did not expect him to take a stand on @thewaroncars.bsky.social while talking about chocolate.

Did you see this one?

In episode 10, I discuss how I choose which organizations to profile. I'm not just picking clothing swaps and pay-it-forward restaurants and neat bars out of a hat! It's optimistic, without being totally escapist. I bet that sounds pretty good right now.

Episode 8, the most recent episode, is about Danu Social House, a bar that gives activists free meeting space and hosts cool community events like 'Silent Book Clubs' which make my introverted heart swell six sizes.

Episode 6 was about opening a 'Good Things Jar' from 2024 and filling a new one with good memories from 2025 to open in 2026. Episode 7 is about 'Solar Punk' which is both a sci-fi genre and a social movement.

Episode 4 was about Free Geek, which refurbishes and sells unwanted electronics and Episode 5 was called 'the Gift' and it was a reminder that there are still good things in this world.

Episode 1 was an intro episode, but Episode 2 was about Clothing Swaps in Toronto.

I saw this on here the other day and couldn't find it in my likes, so I went on a googling mission to find it. Enjoy.
