Episode 27 of Cool Tunes for a Hot Planet starts out with a song about ordinary Americans banding together this month to celebrate No Kings Day. But most of the show will be focused on the disparity between the obvious importance of food and farming, to the struggles that farmers have faced every day for over a century – from sharecroppers to struggling family farms, to the plight and heroism of Hispanic farmworkers in today’s fields. Along the way we’ll hear short clips from an interview with Michael Grunwald, author of We Are Eating the Earth, sharing a new perspective on the perils of global farming.
