The following podcast is brought to you courtesy of A World of Possibilities and The Mainstream Media Project.Â
 In this special edition of A World of Possibilities, two lives spent breaking the mold of both traditional and feminist perspectives are recounted in candid conversation, each with a focused sense of purpose – to use their unique sensibilities and life experiences to help heal a species and planet grievously wounded by fear, greed and ignorance of its own positive potential.

Frances Moore Lappe, social activist, author of sixteen books, including the landmark Diet for a Small Planet (1971)
Wangari Maathai , Winner, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize; founder, Greenbelt Movement, Kenya
