Since the pandemic began, and long before then, many would concur that capitalism in its current form is failing, here and globally. Rooted in inequity, exploitation, profiteering, and social injustice, capitalism exacerbates inequality, disempowerment, and poverty by benefiting only the few. In this show we interview Della Z. Duncan, Renegade Economist, who invites all to ponder what is the purpose of the economy? What is capital? What is value? How is wealth created & sustained? Are we engaged in meaningful work that promotes planetary health? How might we use our gifts, contribute to society, meet our basic human needs & thrive individually and collectively? Hear Della Duncan share provocative insights from the growing movement to revolutionize our perceptions, understanding and practice of renegade economics in our lives. Della Z Duncan hosts the Upstream Podcast, uplifting stories of regenerative economics. She supports individuals working to align their values with their work as a Right Livelihood Coach. She also works with organizations as a cooperatives economic consultant, and facilitates courses and retreats around the world. LISTEN live @kpfthouston on Monday 9 am CT or check the link in bio!

Krampus arrived this last weekend. This half-goat, half-daemon of centuries-old Bavarian-Alpine lore, appears prior to the celebration of the benevolent giver Saint Nicholas on December 6th. #krampus #krampusnacht #krampuslauf

The communities of the Gulf of Mexico are at the nexus of climate change and community resistance. Port Arthur Texas is homebase for the largest oil refinery in North America and a dizzying toxic array of fossil fuel and chemical facilities. But the people are stepping up to say - NO MORE. Port Arthur Community Action Network (also known as PACAN) is raising the alarm, holding the polluters accountable, and paving the path to transition away from an extractive economy to one that supports restorative justice. Our guest, John Beard, Jr., Founder and CEO of Port Arthur Community Action Network, is helping to mobilize his community of Port Arthur and the Southeast Texas region. As a former oil employee turned advocate for environmental justice in the place he has lived all his life. He is the recipient of the 2021 Rose Braz Award for Bold Activism from the Center for Biological Diversity @centerforbiodiv LISTEN on @kpfthouston on Monday 9 am CT or later (link in bio) Guest: John Beard Jr. Host/Producer: Jessica Aldridge @AdventuresInWaste Exec.

The Excitement Begins! From Edward Gorey with words by John Updike #edwardgorey #johnupdike #christmas

'Ghostly Vision', a painting by Francisco de Goya of Spain that was only recently rediscovered - painted in 1801 #franciscogoya #ghost #painting

Remedios Varo: Still life Reslicitando, 1963 - “The dream world and the real world are the same,” declared Spanish-born artist Remedios Varo, who alchemically combined traditional techniques, Surrealist methods, and mystical philosophic inquiry into visionary dreamscapes. One of the few acknowledged female surrealist painters of the first half of the 20th century. She defied the male dominated artistic world of that era through her unique and peculiar approach to Surrealism. #varo #remediosvaro #surrealism
