Guest Cameron Conaway makes connections for us with his award winning poetry. Plus he's a good friend of the show! Forrest Palmer gives us the truth in Breaking Hopium. Plus feedback loop #49! We have a new Doomer of the week and two stories beyond the mainstream echo chamber.

This week's version of Nature Bats Last includes "Breaking Hopium" with Cory Morningstar on the topic of "green" energy, followed by a long interview with singer/songwriter/social critic Katie Goodman. This week's doomer of the week is Dylan Wilson. We conclude with an update on the climate-change front.

Pauline Panagiotou Schneider takes the helm this week at Nature Bats Last on the Progressive Radio Network. She'll interview nuclear activist Marilyn Elie.
