CommonS Sense is a podcast about reclaiming “common sense” for a livable future. Hosts Barbara Leckie and Joel Westheimer explore what counts as common sense and how we might change it by thinking about the commons—those shared resources we all depend on. Featuring thinkers like Bill McKibben, Astra Taylor and Candis Callison, the show challenges assumptions and sparks collective imagination on how to reframe the way we think about the climate crisis.
