Immense Possibilities | Weekly Practical and inspiring videos, webcasts, and podcasts

Immense Possibilities is our weekly public TV and Internet visit with guests whose social creations are building vibrant communities. They’re solving challenges that the old systems can’t. They’re infusing others with realistic hope and inviting them to come alive. We work from a clear set of beliefs about the world that is, a nd the world that can be. Does IP line up with the future you want? We invite you to become a Friend of Immense Possibilities, and to watch any IP episode anytime by scrolling down to our Archives.

We’re taking a break during SOPTV’s spring Membership Drive (and if you haven’t already, please consider adding your support to this fine public television station). We’ll be back Tuesday, June 19 at 7:30pm Pacific time on SOPTV and this site, to introduce you to folks leading the way in collaborative forestry, where environmental, industry and community leaders come together to craft a forest future that’s more productive, and much healthier for communities, than the brutal timber wars of yesterday..

Below: Watch our May 29 program on the powerful groundbreaking work Jackson Katz and others are doing to create a culture without gender violence…particularly violence targeted at women. This is not a “woman’s problem.”

The Occupy Tea Party conversation

Some say there’s no conversation in America today that’s more important. In Southern Oregon, it began with our January broadcast here on IP. On April 23, it filled the Congregational Church chapel in Medford with a wide range of people working for a better world. It’s the dialogue between Tea Party and Occupy leaders who want Read More»

A delightful local food leader

If you’re in Southern Oregon and, like many IP fans, you see the local food movement as a cornerstone of building healthy communities, mark March 15 and 16 on your calendar. That’s your chance to spend time with Joel Salatin, organic farmer, leader of the New Food movement, and author of Folks, This Ain’t Normal. Read More»

A GREAT guest

There’s an amazing woman who has been unearthing and championing immense possibilities LONG before we ever thought of a title for this program: Frances Moore Lappé. Frankie’s back with us for a great conversation about “living democracy” in 2012. We are really happy about that. Watch our show with Frankie stream live Tuesday, February 21, Read More»

The Welcome…

Sometimes building community begins by tending to the wounds that have torn it apart. There’s a tradition as old as warfare, a ritual that happens after the battle: a warrior is welcomed home by the grateful community he protected. Except that our attitudes towards recent American combat have been so conflicted and divided that veterans Read More»

EVERYBODY’S doing it

Going local, that is. Our conversations last night with Michael Shuman (who probably coined the term with his 1990s classic, Going Local…watch our dialogue in the box to the left) and then, in the aftershow, with SOU Prof Ric Holt, made it clear that there aren’t many states and communities that AREN’T focusing hard on, Read More»

Farm to School’s a hit

Tell your localist-leaning friends about our show next Tuesday, June 14, with the immensely smart Michael Shuman!
