Podcasts and web articles

In this 5/22/26 episode of Geographies of Hope, Dr. Karen Barton and I consider how landscapes and deep adventure have the power to shift our perspectives -- if we're open to it. For me, it helped inform (and transform) my understanding of masculinity, violence, identity, and so much more!



In this 4/2/26 podcast on Lantern Voices, Luiza Guimaraes interviews me about my latest book, The Red Planet, where we discuss everything from environmental degradation, animal cruelty, carnivory, and misogyny, to racism, warfare, binary gender roles, and patriarchy -- and how it's all related!



Read Jordi Casamitjana's 3/9/26 interview with me in this intriguing article, "Bill Hatcher, the Vegan Geographer Digging Out the Roots of the World’s Distress," published by Vegan FTA.



In this fascinating 9/10/24 interview on "It's All About Food," Caryn Hartglass and I discuss everything from gender to bonobos in my book, The Red Planet.


Highlights from The Red Planet (details on the next page)

  • Explores the origins, evolution, and likely extinction of hyper-masculinity.
  • Demonstrates how humanity will survive and prosper only with growing social change toward gender and racial equality, animal and environmental rights, and veganism.
  • Incorporates essays by women scholars on sexism, classism, racism, and gender inequities.
