Interview with Scott Powell
Scott S. Powell, author of Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are, joins Kim in discussing the removal of the Reconciliation Monument. Powell expresses disappointment over the removal of the Reconciliation Monument, viewing it as an attempt to rewrite history. He argues that the monument should not be seen as a symbol of the Confederacy but rather as a representation of reconciliation between the North and the South. For Powell, the monument stands as a significant historical marker that symbolizes the efforts to bridge the divide and heal the wounds of a nation torn apart by civil war.

Interview with a Conversation Expert
Conservation expert Jenny from Northern Colorado explains how “open space” and conservation easements are increasing the cost of housing and taking land out of food production. Government-run sustainability programs are often criticized for their hypocrisy, with critics arguing that these initiatives are more focused on controlling people than genuinely protecting the land. Many see conservation movements as efforts to seize land from individuals, restricting their access and use of it. The term “open space” has become a contentious buzzword in this context. Contrary to what the term implies, these “open spaces” are hardly accessible to the public as they fall under strict government control, leading to questions about the true motives and effectiveness of these conservation efforts.
