I've recently started an online book club called the Better World Book Club (where we are trying to build an image of the better world we all want to create together). If you'd like to join to you can find it on reddit at r/betterworldbookclub and you'll see the other links and info. For this first episode it's just me and Simon discussing chapters 1-4 of Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations by David R. Montgomery. 

Music is 1848 and After the Revolution by David Rovics.
