## Resource

John disapproves of his brother's new podcast entirely, but is happy to be here. They talk about why John's worried about Hank, why being in favor of humans is now counter-cultural, if John's seminary training might have helped the brothers' internet success, and what Mark Twain has to do with any of it. They have spent years talking publicly together — but not like this. Got a question or a comment? You can reach us at humans@hankgreen.com Find us on social media @humanswithhank
