    How We Hope- Hope in collective action: What we can learn from Wikipedia, smallpox eradication, and a movie theater strike
    Dec 10 2025
    The full How We Hope series will debut for Grab Bag Collab Everything GBC+ feed subscribers over at www.grabbagcollab.com

    Some of the biggest sources of doom are collective action problems—issues that feel too big for any one person to solve, but that could be turned around if everyone made a change. For our first episode, we investigate examples of successful collective action at different scales. We talk to Seb Diaz about organizing a movie theater strike in Downtown Brooklyn, Nellie Bristol about the eradication of Smallpox, and Kevin Li about the persistent work of Wikipedia contributors. What contributed to their success, and how can they inspire us?

  • Introducing: How We Hope

    Introducing: How We Hope
    Nov 30 2025
    Coming soon to our Grab Bag Collab subscribers! Our next quarterly show: How We Hope

    These days, many people are feeling like their country, the world, and possibly even humankind, are doomed. In six deeply-researched episodes, co-hosts and close friends Betsy and Lena pose the question: where can we find hope?

    How We Hope investigates, debates, and wrestles with hope from all angles: practical examples of progress, the philosophy and psychology of hope, and personal stories from those who have lost or regained their faith. We talk to activists, psychologists, scholars of Afrofuturism, and our own peers. In every episode, we banter, report, and grapple with our own relationships to hope.
