Daniel Defoe – The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe plus The Next Peacelands

This episode includes a brief excerpt from Daniel Defoe’s The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, offering a small step into the early moments of the novel’s world. Kitty reads just enough to catch Defoe’s plainspoken tone and the quiet sense of possibility that opens the story.

Kitty O'Compost warms up for The Peace Experiments (Season Zero) , the upcoming Peace Is Here series exploring peace, AI, and the commons.

The episode closes with The Next Peacelands, where Avis Kalfsbeek reads a real-time list of global warzones and major arms suppliers—an honest grounding in the world as it is, and an invitation to practice peace with intention.
