Hello outrage and optimism listeners. Clay here with a couple of announcements before the episode.

Thank you to everyone who rated the podcast since last week's episode.

Last week we made an audio guide for Tom's aunt on how to rate our podcast and after we published it and you listened we received many suggested yet voluntary five star ratings and even some very kindly worded reviews so thank you.

And please if you haven't yet you can go back to the last week's episode for the fun audio guide and then give

our podcast a rating. Thank you.

I'm also here to wish you all a very happy Earth Day.

I mean technically it was a couple of days ago but it was the 50th anniversary this week of Earth Day and we'd

like to celebrate it this year with a special announcement by telling you that our friend,

colleague, and host Tom Rivet Karnak released his TED Talk. Yes, you can watch it right now. It's live. It's out there.

In it he talks about when it comes to climate change. We often stand at a crossroads,

either believe we're powerless against great change,

or we rise to meet the challenge.

And so he guides us through how we can shift our mindset

and choose the future. You can check the show notes for the

direct link. It's right there. I have to say if you're looking for a

stubborn optimism 101 crash course, this is it and we're pretty sure it's the only TED Talk ever filmed in the

woods so you have to see it. It's racked up hundreds of thousands of views across

the internet since Wednesday night and like I said earlier I've put the

direct link to watch it in the show notes below. Bookmark it, save it, note it, do whatever

you've got to do to make sure you watch it and celebrate Earth Day and then share it.

Okay, so happy Earth Day.

Go watch Tom's TED Talk.
