Through the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab (NIKERI, Deakin University), we have unlikely, cheeky and kind of inappropriate yarns with surprising people about how an Indigenous complexity science lens can be applied to solving the world's most wicked problems. Intro theme by Regurgitator.

Yarn with JMB trying to make sense of the marketplace of nature-based and Indigenous Knowledge-informed alternative economies and finance, in light of the rapidly changing global landscape at this fraught inflection point in history. Some ideas for hope and altering our theories of change in response to our cataclysmic new reality, pondering Serpent Lore and the brilliant 2024 film

Greenland, Q Shaman and Snakes

Jan 23 2025 139 mins

The Viking Yarns are back! Rune Rasmussen in our most coherent yarn yet. I must have needed the break. I was tired as hell. Anyway, the phrase that sticks out for me is about new-ageism as 'European self-colonising whiteness'. Some deadly Viking serpent Lore as well.

Gum Tree Embassy

Nov 14 2024 88 mins

Gabriella Romero and Nkwi Flores from Amazon Andes First Peoples talk about the embassy we're making with eucalypts in diaspora, Indigenous borderwork, kinmaking and migration. And the poxy US elections.

Post-truth Metacrisis

Oct 22 2024 113 mins

Apologies for so long between episodes. All is explained in this yarn with Kabir Kadre (wounded mystic) and Eric Hekler (former techno-utopian), as we explore the cataclysmic shifting of overton windows, faith and empiricism during the terrifying inflection point of a US election that is destabilizing systems globally.

Biocultural Economy

Aug 22 2024 95 mins

A wanjau (collective sensemaking yarn) with JMB, Tyson and Josh from IKSLab, tying together 3 years of work in regenerative finance design. How can bioregional, relational economies and currencies be established without being backed by potential extractive activity on the land, or real estate as capital, or the ponzi scheme vacuums of crypto? How can these commons be governed and e

Green Terra Nullius

Jul 22 2024 91 mins

Gumbaynggirr carver Pete McCurley is back to tell a tale of surveillance and sabotage during cultural fire management events, and the way wrong story about 'nature' and 'the wild' is preventing our communities from caring for the land. We talk about our shared inquiry working with invasive species: plant, animal and human to come into good relation and balance with

Rant 5

Walking country, reading the land and the flows and feeling what these sentient systems want to create with us, and it's all fabulous, but we're not listening to women the same way, and the land won't speak to us fully until we get that right.

Mycelium Fandom

Jun 20 2024 78 mins

Rishikes Siva takes biomimicry to the next level with Lunar Punk rhizomatic riffs, and we weave through arboretal IK at the margins of regenerative sexiness, while the brains of Elders are uploaded to the clouds and we wait to see what that rain will look like (while a tiny part of me dies inside). If more than half of that didn't make sense to you, the yarn won't either! N

Mongrelling the Borders

Jun 16 2024 97 mins

Wanted to yarn with Roma, Scots, Native American, Aboriginal, queer, neuro-divergent, unhoused and trans folks about fluid border work facilitating norms of access, and about finding identity in ancestral paths rather than homelands, since global populations are becoming increasingly itinerant. But that panel would be complicated and boring, as most panels and webinars are, so we g
