We had a seriously inspiring chat with Barret Baumgart about his wild creative path and his deep dive into the world of Joshua Trees. It’s kind of hilarious—this tree that people used to hate is now a full-on icon for beauty and spirituality. Barrett, in his latest book YUCK, walks us through that irony with a wink, and we get into the messy, magical business of writing about the environment ✨We talked about how tricky it is to tell the truth about nature in a world that sometimes feels allergic to facts, and why humor an absurdity are actually powerful tools for making sense of it all. Barrett reminds us that art isn’t just about pretty pictures or clever words—it’s a way to wake up, connect, and really feel the awe and mystery of being alive on this planet. If you’re into questioning, laughing, and falling in love with the weirdness of nature, this conversation’s for you.More about Barret: https://www.barretbaumgart.com/Get YUCK: https://a.co/d/hgFKv2YGet the audio book: https://www.audible.com/pd/Yuck-Audiobook/B0DRZ5F6TRExperimental Black Metal Project - Wreche: https://wreche.bandcamp.com/album/wrecheWanna SUPPORT our MISSION to GREEN the WORLD with ART? 💚This is the spot to do it: https://aliensloveearth.rallyup.com/give👽💜🌍 got MUSIC and a STORY to SHARE?
