In the first seg­ment, Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse wel­comes return­ing guest Leona Mor­gan (Dine’, she/​her), an Indige­nous activist and com­mu­ni­ty orga­niz­er who has been fight­ing Nuclear Colo­nial­ism since 2007. She is focused on pre­vent­ing new ura­ni­um min­ing, nuclear waste dump­ing, and trans­port of radioac­tive mate­ri­als in the south­west­ern Unit­ed States. Leona co-found­ed and works with Haul No!(www.fb.com/HaulNo), Radi­a­tion Mon­i­tor­ing Project (www​.rad​mon​i​tor​ing​.org), and Nuclear Issues Study Group (www​.fb​.com/​N​u​c​l​e​a​r​I​s​s​u​e​s​S​t​u​d​y​Group). She also con­tributes to the inter­na­tion­al ini­tia­tive Don’t Nuke The Cli­mate (https://​dont​-nuke​-the​-cli​mate​.org), which address­es nuclear ener­gy as a glob­al cli­mate threat. Leona is from the Nava­jo Nation and lives in Albu­querque, New Mexico.

In the sec­ond seg­ment, Tiokasin speaks with Andy Beck. Andy grew up in the town of Perth in Scot­land, and after grad­u­at­ing from Edin­burgh Uni­ver­si­ty spent the ear­ly part of his career work­ing as a soft­ware tester and a Tech­ni­cal Writer in sev­er­al soft­ware hous­es and finan­cial firms. Andy is also a life­long musi­cian who sang in choirs and played clas­si­cal vio­lin in school orches­tras before grad­u­at­ing to play­ing key­boards in sev­er­al rock bands. He cur­rent­ly enjoys teach­ing him­self to play gui­tar. Grow­ing up in a small town sit­u­at­ed with­in strik­ing dis­tance of the great out­doors has giv­en Andy a keen inter­est in ecol­o­gy and the nat­ur­al world. He is a writer of fic­tion and recent­ly fin­ished a nov­el called Arran, which is an attempt to make sense of the age we live in — par­tic­u­lar­ly the eco­log­i­cal and cli­mate crises — through the eyes of its five main char­ac­ters. After mov­ing about from place to place, includ­ing sev­er­al years as an immi­grant in Toron­to, Cana­da, Andy is now back in his home town of Perth, Scotland.
