We start the show with co-founders of Myco Rising Aaron Cutler and Kacy Zander. They are attempting to clean up pollution in and around Starkweather Creek by using mycelium, the root-like structure of a fungus. Their project involves community members growing mushrooms at home and then returning the mycelium after harvesting. To learn more you can email [email protected] or find them @mycorisingup on Instagram.

Then, we speak with co-founder of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Peace Committee of the National Capital Area, John Steinbach. In response to Joe Biden visiting Hiroshima for the G7 Summit, Steinbach wrote for the Institute for Public Accuracy that “the public is shockingly oblivious to the threat of global nuclear war.” He joins A Public Affair to tell us why.
