SEASON TWO

Reflection and Action

Join hosts Leora Tadgerson and Matthew Cobb for a transformative second season of Broken Lands, where the dialogue shifts from local roots in Duluth to a national stage. This season invites listeners into a sacred circle of truth-seeking and collective healing, bringing together Native American voices and white settlers to imagine a future where treaties are honored and nature is nurtured as a relative. Through deeply personal conversations with activists, artists, and leaders, Season 2 explores the "heart medicine" required to bridge the divide between worldviews and move toward genuine reparation.
