▶️ Today on the Otherppl with Brad Listi podcast, a conversation with Amanda Yates Garcia—writer, socially engaged artist, public witch, and doctoral student in the department of World Arts Cultures and Dance at UCLA. Amanda's first book, INITIATED: MEMOIR OF A WITCH (2021), is available in trade paperback.

This is a perfect Sunday episode. A deep and heartfelt and searching conversation about the state of the world and what we can do to resist the darkness and bring the light. It’s a conversation for anyone out there who feels alienated—by necro-politics, pop culture, the job market, fashion, the Hamptons—and heartbroken over the plight of the poor and the disenfranchised, over famine and genocide and hyper-violence and all the rest.

In short, this is a dialogue about overwhelm, and the world as it is now. Amanda Yates Garcia, aka The Oracle of Los Angeles, is a bright and searching mind, and she has a lot of insightful things to say about where we are and why—and where we can go.

You don’t want to miss this one.
