Topic: Local Meetups

The host reads the upcoming meetup calendar for July, including events in Los Angeles, Eugene, and Pasadena. He thanks listeners in Raleigh, North Carolina, for a sympathy card sent to his PO box. He encourages listeners to use these meetups to network for local resources like land, food production, and ranchers before signing off with the show's signature closing music.

Carlwood reports on the success of the first Higher Side Chats local meetup, which drew over 40 attendees despite initial low expectations. He emphasizes the importance of building community and focusing mental attention on the "world we want to build" rather than obsessing over societal crumbling. He frames these alternative topics as a necessary escape from the dominant news narrative.
