Seasoned podcaster (and longtime friend) Patrick Farnsworth joins Elle for a frank discussion on caring in the age of ecological crisis. After 300 episodes of his podcast, Patrick muses on holding multiple truths at once: the realistic urgency of the present times, and the human need for slowness, connection, care, and hope?

Guest Spotlight: Patrick Farnsworth

Patrick Farnsworth is a long-form interviewer, occasional writer, and host of Last Born In The Wilderness, a podcast he has produced for the better part of a decade. He is also a co-host of Attack & Dethrone GodCast, and the author of We Live In The Orbit Of Beings Greater Than Us, a compilation of close to thirty interviews originally aired on Last Born and interlaced with commentary, published through Gods & Radicals Press.

Patrick’s work explores a diverse set of topics through an overarching framework that is undeniably collapse-aware. He grew up in occupied Shoshone-Bannock territory (Southern Idaho) and became politicized in my teenage years, beginning with a personal exploration into the roots of United States imperialism, capitalism, settler-colonialism, and white supremacy. Inevitably, his focus turned toward the intersecting crises of catastrophic climate disruption and global ecological collapse—the “Anthropocene.” In attempting to further understand these subjects, he began to produce Last Born In The Wilderness, a podcast featuring discussions with a wide variety of individuals exploring these difficult subjects in their own respective fields.

Patrick’s political/spiritual philosophy is explicitly anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, ecologically-centered, and animist. Building solidarity and doing the sacred work, in spite of the inevitable, is still worth it. He currently resides on Semiahmoo land near the Salish Sea (along the Washington/Canadian border)
