frandroidThe Dig: The Politics and Practice of Tenant Organizing
This is a two-hour-long discussion with four experienced tenant organizers (plus host Daniel Denvir is a tenant organizer himself, so really, five). It's just great to hear experienced activists/organizers think out loud, get into the nitty-gritty of their craft. I don't know much about tenant organizing but this made me realize that I need to build more bridges within my housing coop even as a mere member (and huh, re/current board member). Plus this René Moya guy has a special voice... It's not a Spanish accent, but his voice is clearly inflected by his Spanish fluency and it just resonates really well with me. Some people could just talk their way into my pants.
Race Against Climate Change - Episode 1: How We Eat
This is a podcast series from the National Observer (a great Canadian environmental activism publication) that's about 18 months old. I thought I knew a fair bit about the impacts of agriculture on climate change, but it turns out I had a lot more to learn from this episode. They get into the details and they bring on a number of farming actors to talk about this stuff. Turns out that there are a lot of low-hanging fruit that could be done to drastically lower the carbon footprint of our agricultural industry.

#PodcastFriday is a tag where people recommend a particularly good episode from a podcast. The point of this tag is NOT to recommend entire podcasts--there are too many podcasts out there, and our queues are already too long, so don't do that. Let's just recommend the cream of the crop, the episodes that made you *brainsplode* or laugh like crazy.
