This time we focus on Shaun including his background, current activities, and what it means to bear David's Legacy. Along the way the conversation touches on a variety of subject related to our work in the modern world, including the role of education, the apolitical need for action on the future, and what we can do to live inexpensively and with directed intent. This is candid, on both of our parts, as we share more of our own private stories as much as the public.

Donate to The Permaculture PodcastOnline:via PayPal Venmo:@permaculturepodcast My guest today is Shaun Chamberlin, the editor of Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It and Surviving the Future, both of which are based on the work of the late David Fleming (1940 - 2010). The conversation is as much a discussion of these books, as it is a celebration of the life of David Fleming, who we get to meet through a series of clips throughout the interview. Without hyperbole I see these two volumes as some of the most important recent texts for any permaculture practitioner, recent convert to long-standing expert, to add to their library. David, through the careful clarifying editing by Shaun, has created the resources that bridge the landscape and our communities, from food to tranistion, in an apolitical, accessible way, covering topics from Abstraction to Yonder. Self-referential, you can open Lean Logic to any page and be lead on a trail of connected thoughts to lead you to ideas that init

This podcast has been on the air for six years and today I take a few minutes for reflection. How the podcast was originally about writing my own education and then turned to sharing other's stories. That latter idea continues to be the driving force, but the mission went unacknowledged until recently when I asked myself, rather pointedly, "Why am I still doing this? What is the purpose of the podcast?" To which the answer, "To tell other people's stories well," was a quick and clear answer. With six years and hundreds of episodes on the books, the seventh year is going to see some minor changes A little slower, but a return to those long format candid conversations that take as little or as much time as required to tell the tale of the guest. Along the way, I'm going to engage in some self care, furt
