Patricia Stansbury – Host, What Wakes Me Up

This is Patricia Stansbury of Sunny Gardener Productions.  Having been an active participant in the food system, from recognizing the importance of fresh local food, being a founding member of two farmers markets, managing natural food, stores, having community gardens and a CSA, I made a weekly radio show about sustainable agriculture. That soon evolved into long deep conversations about social justice, equity, land use, and capitalism. 

My mission is to provide a platform for those who are working toward a world where all people have what they need in order to thrive. We cocreate episodes which reveal their discoveries. We supplement the ideas with music. So if an hour of history, science, culture and wisdom suits you, make What Wakes Me Up a regular part of your listening plans.
