(9/1) - Healthy Political Practices & Spiritual Disciplines #7. Podcasts are an excellent way to select series you want to hear when you want to hear them, like radio on demand (a few are video).

If you think podcasts are just a fad, remember that a couple of years ago iTunes recorded its one-billionth podcast download.

Simpler Living Weekly Nudge
Sept. 11, 2017
In This Issue:
- SLW! Podcast #100 –Reformation Scholar Bishop Guy Erwin (9/1) //
- SLW! Podcast #99 — Order of Lutheran Franciscans //
- Simple Living HEALTH Suggestion #5 //
- Our Simpler Living Daily Nudges for Sept. (Media)
What’s NOW with SLW!
- SLW! Podcast #100 –Reformation Scholar Bishop Guy Erwin
(9/1) // - SLW! Podcast #99 — Order of Lutheran Franciscans promoting voluntary simplicity in the 500th year of the Reformation
- Healthy Political Practices & Spiritual Disciplines #5. The list of worthwhile organizations is long indeed. Some, however, are truly misleading, such as Negative Population Growth, which is primarily an anti-immigrant group posing as Population Control. Instead support Population Connection (originally Zero Population Growth) and Planned Parenthood. My favorites include AARP, Public Citizen, Sierra Club, Earth Island Institute. Mother Earth News is a weird blend of environmentalists, homesteaders and survivalists. Beware! However, I check CharityNavigator.org before I contribute any money. If an organization gets fewer than four stars (of five) or the CEO makes more than $250K, I don’t give anything, except maybe a basic membership.–>
