This special episode of Off The Charts celebrates the power of podcasts as a modern companion to America’s Independence Day. On July 4th, we gather around fireworks, barbecues, and family stories — but we can also gather around podcasts that explore the spirit of freedom in fresh, personal, and thoughtful ways.

Carlos shares how these July 4th-themed shows connect the country’s founding ideals with today’s struggles, joys, and reflections. Whether you’re running a morning 5K, grilling hot dogs, or watching fireworks, these episodes help transform Independence Day into a moment of learning, gratitude, and deeper understanding of the freedoms we often take for granted.

Key Themes:

This episode of Off The Charts spotlights the ⁠Second Nature Podcast⁠ — created by the Commons team and hosted by Katelan Cunningham, a sustainability advocate and storyteller who blends climate science with personal action and collective hope.

Katelan and the Commons community go beyond talk, translating scientific insights and expert voices into everyday habits that build community resilience. It’s a show where composting, carbon math, and policy meet family stories, local libraries, and youth movements — all woven together with a sense of belonging that refuses to let listeners feel alone in the climate fight.

Key Themes:

• Practical, accessible sustainable choices for individuals and communities

• Empowering the next generation through climate literacy and civic action

• Uncovering hidden climate heroes, from librarians to food justice organizers
