In trying to avoid trapping timeless content in a linear distribution channel (weekly newsletters lost in your inbox), i’ve created a library for Rewild. Every piece shared here is added and tagged by format, length, themes and keywords. Filter for “podcasts” , “palestine” or “history” to find all the fun stuff we’ve shared.
20th edition and i’m still committed to use Rewild as a platform to get out of my online lurking stasis. It’s been a very rewarding experience so far. I appreciate your support: readers, critics, developers and friends <3
As always, i hope you find something for you here.
