From the Porch is a series of conversations about beautiful and difficult things. We're activists, writers, teachers, ordinary people learning to move beyond a story of separation, selfishness and scapegoating into a story of connection, creativity, and the common good. Hosted by Irish storyteller and peace activist Gareth Higgins, we explore how to live with courage in anxious times, our interdependency with each other, the ecosystem, and a bigger story itself.
