Welcome to Madang Podcast.

Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renown authors, leaders, public figures and scholars on religion, culture and everything in-between.

This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is a reality. Please join me at Madang Podcast hosted by the Christian Century.

This is the 31st episode of Madang where I converse with Bill McKibben on his book, The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon: A Graying American Looks Back at His Suburban Boyhood and Wonders What the Hell Happened. Bill McKibben is an educator, environmental activist and author of more than a dozen books. He is a contributing writer to The New Yorker, and a founder of Third Act, which organizes people over the age of 60 to work on climate and racial justice. He founded the first global grassroots climate campaign, 350.org, and serves as the Schumann Distinguished Professor in Residence at Middlebury College in Vermont.

In 2014 he was awarded the Right Livelihood Prize, sometimes called the `alternative Nobel,' in the Swedish Parliament. He's also won the Gandhi Peace Award, and honorary degrees from 19 colleges and universities.

On this episode, Bill talks with me about The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon, climate change, wealth gap, racial justice, hyper-individualism, spiritual formation, and 350.org., and so much more.

This is a special Madang Podcast episode as it was recorded live at the Wild Goose Festival.
