Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

Wouldn’t it be great to rid yourself of bills, work, technology, all the trappings of our modern lifestyles? William Powers journeys from rural North Carolina, to Manhattan, to Bolivia, as he and his family pursue sustainable living in Dispatches from the Sweet Life: One Family, Five Acres, and a Community’s Quest to Reinvent the World. William has spent two decades in development aid and conservation around the world. His essays and commentaries on global issues have appeared in the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune. Sean Parnell has witnessed firsthand the difficulty of reintegrating into society after returning from war, as his platoon has suffered three times as many men to post-war suicide than in combat. His American Warrior Initiative aids returning veterans by providing them fully paid for service dogs. Sean is a former U.S. Army airborne ranger who served in the legendary 10th Mountain Division for six years, retiring as a captain. He received two Bronze Stars (one for valor) and the Purple Heart. Also an author, his latest novel is Man of War.
