In her new diary, Anne Strieber writes: “Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote a diary about a taking the Green Man message along on a book tour with Whitley, that I dedicated to an unknown woman named Kari. Now, in another one of those weird synchronicities that have become the fabric of my life, when we are just about to go out on a book tour again, I have once again heard from Kari.”

In Whitley’s journal, he writes: "Well, it finally happened. For the first time since becoming host of Dreamland in 1999, I have had a fight with a guest on the air. As you know, I cultivate a very special approach to my guests. In order to draw them out and make them feel at home, I’m unreservedly enthusiastic about their ideas. I keep my own beliefs to myself…This time, it didn’t work quite that way." To find out what the fight was all about, listen to this week’s Dreamland show with Daniel Pinchbeck (who will soon be going on tour)!

A new study says that water, air and soil pollution account for up to 40% of deaths worldwide each year. That’s 62 million deaths that could have been prevented.

In LiveScience.com, Andrea Thompson quotes ecologist David Pimentel as saying, “We were surprised with the number. [This] suggests the importance of the environment as it’s related to our deaths.” He goes on to say that “water is one of the major concerns, without any question.” The World Health Organization estimates that around 1.1 billion people do not have access to clean water and that waterborne infections account for 80% of all infectious diseases around the world. According to Pimental, for many people in the world, “it’s a challenge just to get clean water.”

Well, it finally happened. For the first time since becoming host of Dreamland in 1999, I have had a fight with a guest on the air. As you know, I cultivate a very special approach to my guests. In order to draw them out and make them feel at home, I’m unreservedly enthusiastic about their ideas. I keep my own beliefs to myself.

The result is that I’m sometimes attacked by listeners who think that my efforts to encourage my guests are an endorsement of their assertions. But I figure that’s a small price to pay for being virtually the only large interview program out there where guests are actively drawn out so that listeners get to hear their real beliefs–often, things that they literally never say elsewhere.
