The Chrysalis podcast with John Fiege is a quest for ecological wisdom and compassion through deep conversations with environmental thinkers whose stories can help guide us into new ways of relating to the rest of life on Earth. On the podcast, John has lively, provocative conversations with fascinating guests—writers, artists, activists, scientists, and spiritual leaders—all thinking this planet and how to live on it in ways that are surprisingly different, but almost magically resonant with one another. Reflective, exploratory, and generous in spirit, each show is grounded in the journey of a single guest over a lifetime of walking on the Earth, from childhood experiences, to big ideas developed over the course of a career, to reflections on what it will take to turn ecological crisis into regeneration. We are hosting the podcast and newsletter for free on Substack, a relatively new internet platform that makes it easy to build community and cultivate thoughtful conversations and meaningful connections. The podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms for free.
