00:00:30.000 hey for the wild community ayana here i'm dropping in to share some exciting updates
00:00:45.580 about for the wild as a collective the for the wild team has felt the uncertainty difficulty
00:00:51.160 and intensity of this moment amidst the seemingly constant information overload of these times
00:00:57.380 we felt the pull of society towards trends, constant consumption, and quick-fix solutions.
00:01:03.960 We feel the need to answer the call of these times in a different way. Feeling into the need
00:01:09.560 for slow, emotionally grounded, and resonant content, we are excited to launch our slow media
00:01:16.800 approach. Overconsumption has infiltrated our minds. From material goods to media,
00:01:27.380 Our lives are overrun by excess within this capitalist and extractive system.
00:01:33.380 We want to offer a challenge to this system through content that encourages people to slow down, sit with the earth and each other, and stay with the trouble.
00:01:45.880 We're calling in slow media.
00:01:48.040 with this we'll be embracing content that is deeply rooted resourced rather than reactionary
00:01:54.920 and that offers perspectives based on lived tangible experiences society is moving at an
00:02:02.120 inhuman and inhumane pace right now rather than submitting to a culture of constant productivity
00:02:08.380 we're focusing on moving at the earth's pace or answering to nature spirit and community
00:02:15.440 not to the clock. We deeply care for your time and attention and aim to create media that is
00:02:23.120 deserving of your attention. We'll be pausing weekly episodes to fully embody this slow media
00:02:29.260 approach. The past 10 years of interviews have shown us how media should be slow, rooted, and
00:02:35.440 steadying. And this shift to slow media will honor all that we have learned from years of beautiful
00:02:41.660 conversations. Over the next few months, we will be dedicating our time and energy to projects
00:02:48.360 close to our hearts. We're diving deep into analog and we'll be bringing you print, film,
00:02:54.800 long-form media, deeply focused podcast series, and in-person events that will center community
00:03:01.100 and connection. There is so much life and energy behind these projects right now, and we are so
00:03:07.300 excited to begin sharing them with you. We hope they will resonate with you as deeply as they
00:03:12.300 have resonated with our team. Stay tuned to our socials, newsletter, website, and podcast feed
00:03:20.340 for updates and announcements. In this tectonic change in our approach to media making,
00:03:26.800 we need our community of support more than ever to make it happen. Now feels like a crucial time
00:03:33.180 to bring that community together in a meaningful way and tell stories that will reach an even
00:03:38.080 larger audience. We want to tell stories that crack us open, bring us together, and gesture
00:03:44.080 towards new worlds. As we make this transition, we need your support. Listener support is our
00:03:53.640 main source of funding, and our radical grassroots approach needs resourcing now more than ever.

00:04:03.860 of creatives working away on books, records, events, and longer-form projects, but we are
00:04:09.480 also supporting the slow media ethos.
