Part 2; a not very Christmas-y half in which we discuss some alternative ideas to solving the world's big problems; Ed rants against people who don't watch TV; Greg spawns a discussion by asking what is the biggest problem facing humanity right now -- North Korea? No. Oil reserves? No. Water? No. Climate Change? No. Religion? No. Obesity? No. American Idol? No... tune in to find out the answer; we then get back to discussing food and community farming topics; and we radio stars finally sign off for the year, say goodbye, and wish all our multitudinous fans a very happy holiday season. Stop by next year in September 2011 for Series Five. (48:59 min.)

one of my favorite lines:
"And, I’m no theologian, but I’m pretty sure that if you hold a press conference to announce your philanthropy, it cancels out the gesture in heaven."
