Kate Chaney: Democracy On The Rise

Apr 28 2024 61 mins

The community in the Australian federal seat of Curtin elected the 7th new independent MP to parliament 2 years ago now, and the first and only (to date) in WA. In those two years, that community independent, Kate Chaney, has continued to drive a level of engagement and outcomes that no one I speak to has any memory of happening before. Perhaps it happened back when the major polit

Some Big News: An Earth Day Launch

Apr 21 2024 63 mins

Lamine Sonko is an acclaimed composer, artistic director, performer and multi-instrumentalist continuing his family line of Guéwels.

Nicole Curato: How to transcend political impasses on climate & everything else

I still hear from listeners about past episodes with people like Jeff Goebel and Amanda Cahill.

Sam Vincent: Where the Reed Warbler Called

Apr 01 2024 66 mins

Sam Vincent grew up on the farm where Charles Massy famously heard the call of the reed warbler for the first time in 150 years or so. But, like most millennials in his position, he wasn’t going to stay there. Until his old man now famously put his hand in a woodchipper. That’s when Sam left his inner-city life as a writer to help out, and unexpectedly found himself thinking di

Jim Phillipson: From Ownership to Stewardship

Mar 25 2024 74 mins

Late last year, I arrived at a quandary. I’d been hearing about how inaccessible land ownership is for younger folk, and how investment capital is still relatively slow to come on board the incredible broad scale potential of regenerative agriculture (notwithstanding often great intent). And I’d been hearing how even long-term legends in regen ag are still expected to be saddle
