Hey there, this is your host, Kamea. I hope you had a restful holiday season and that your start to this

new year has been all of the things that you might need during this time. As we move deeper into

2025, first of all, I'm so excited to share the many conversations we already have in the pipeline

for you this season, so definitely stay tuned

and make sure you're subscribed to my Substack newsletter, which you can find at camilla.substack.com.

And I also just want to share that our call for your direct support continues as well,

because independent media is more important than ever and every contribution

no matter how small or large really helps us out so much so if you haven't already we invite you

to join our patreon or substack membership or contribute a gift of any amount at greendreamer.com

slash support if you need a planner for the new year, you can also

check out our fundraising green dreamer planners at greendreamer.com slash shop. Thank you so, so much

for whatever forms of support you're able to share with us. For now, enjoy the show.

furniture, and art. You can check it out first by downloading the app Buns that's spelled B-U-N-Z

on your smartphone, and I'll tell you more later. For now to our conversation with Dr. Chris Nichols,
