A Wild Live with Ohh that’s RICH on "extinction burst"

Description

<p>Wild has been on hiatus while I finish my most recent book. We’ll be back with a fresh direction and new guests in the coming months, but in the meantime, I’m dropping in a small handful of interviews I’ve been doing on Substack that you might find interesting. They’re far more rustic and casual than my usual offerings. You can, of course, watch the video versions over on <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/t/wild-live" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a>.</p><br><p>My guest today is <strong>Rich from <em>Ohh That’s RICH</em></strong>, who dissects the intersections of culture, politics, and privilege - and pretty much everything that’s unfolding in real time across the progressive landscape. A former MTV News political correspondent, he now writes the <a href="https://substack.com/@ohhthatsrich/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack <em>Ohh That’s RICH</em>,</a> where his rapid-fire commentary has built a loyal, quietly fired-up following.</p><br><p>In this chat, we dive into a concept he unpacked that has given him a whole new lens on our current moment: <strong>the “extinction burst.”</strong> It describes that temporary spike in behaviour right before it finally collapses…or, as Rich puts it, “the last frantic gasp of a system losing its grip.” <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFlVW9bzqTZ/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Here’s the post</a> we reference in the conversation, and you can watch our chat <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/p/wild-live-with-sarah-wilson-and-ohh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><br><p>A bit about <em>Ohh That’s RICH</em>: Rich describes himself as a Liberal member of the silent majority. He covers culture, politics and power structures with sharpness, humour, and a kind of grounded clarity. You’ll also find him over on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ohhthatsrich/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ohhthatsrich" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>.</p><br><p><strong>PS:</strong> My new book, <em>I Eat the Stars</em>, will be out worldwide in May/June 2026. If you’re curious, you can read the serialised version over on <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/p/table-of-contents" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a>. Today’s chat touches on a few of the themes I explore in that work.</p><br><p>--</p><br><p>If you need to know a bit more about me…<a href="https://sarahwilson.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> head to my "about" page</a></p><p>For more such conversations, <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">subscribe to my Substack newsletter,</a> it’s where I interact the most!</p><p>Let’s connect on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_sarahwilson_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
