Summary
We're doing something new! This is the first episode on a multiple week journey to discover how we can come back from the crisis of COVID-19 better and stronger in our fight against climate change.
In this episode, we are joined by Sister True Dedication and Brother Phap Dung, senior monastics at Plum Village, a monastery started by well-known Buddhist Teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh. Paul brings us an isolation game, we play for you some clips of our life right now in this strange time, and Christiana schools us on her article published in TIME Magazine this week.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Hello. So we were just going to take a minute before we begin the episode. We are confined to our homes as we know you are and that is affecting obviously all areas of our lives but one of the |
| 0:15.1 | things it's done for us is it has precipitously cut short our book tour so we |
| 0:19.7 | were due to be traveling the world for the next few weeks speaking to people about the book, the future we choose |
| 0:24.0 | that came out just a few weeks ago. |

| 0:45.2 | April at 5 p.m. UK time which is going to be midday East Coast and you can |
| 0:52.0 | work out the other variants from there. We will be |
| 0:55.1 | posting about this on our Twitter account on our website everywhere else. We |
| 0:59.1 | really hope you can join this. It'll be a great discussion about the |
| 1:01.6 | book. And Paul, I'm assuming correctly that you're not going to warn us what your questions are going to be. |
| 1:07.1 | You're just going to pop the question to us live online. |
| 1:11.8 | Very difficult questions. |
| 1:14.0 | And some of them are just to give you half the question, |
| 1:16.0 | you'll have to work out the other half yourself. |
| 1:18.0 | Okay. |
| 1:19.0 | And everyone else gets to ask questions too. |
| 1:21.0 | Sounds good. |
