Hello 2022, hope this finds you well. I’ve been composting 2021. Episode 56  kicks off with something a bit different. An audio experiment to start the year. A story about stories. Last year I was invited to do a TED X Talk about the climate and ecological crisis, I wasn’t really sure what to talk about to be honest. I was struggling to think of what another white man, 50 years old could possibly...

Finishing the year with a cheeky mix offering from the shed Deep, pumping, cosmic, emotive, full of light, love, grief, confusion, darkness and slightly twisted. Bit like my year. A mix to shuffle, shape-shift, stomp and sway into the Winter Solstice. To mark the end of this cycle of the sun. And the letting go of a year. Impossible to express in words. (Better through music) Marking the start. Of...

"Carbon is the basic building blocks of life. It’s not actually a negative thing. Very rarely in a natural system is something objectively negative or positive. It plays its role. And so actually storing carbon and having carbon in your soil is incredibly important. And of course huge amounts of carbon has been lost from the soil. So there’s huge potential to store carbon in the soil. However I wi...

“Now there are lots of writers who talk about how foundational stories have been across history. Just take Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, in it he maps that without story, humans wouldn’t have been able to live in civilisations larger than about 20,000. That myth and story have been fundamental to our evolution as a species. And if we want to shift stories, we need to start thinking of them as tech...

“What I'd say is for people my age it’s totally about intersectionality and recognising that to fix one thing, we need to fix various other things as well. One thing I really noticed while writing ‘We have a dream’ was how young so many of the people were when they started, it isn’t teenagers, it’s young children; seven, eight, nine year olds taking it upon themselves to make things better because...

“I think fundamentally it all comes down to the systems and structures we live within. We are all trapped within this economic structure at the moment. We are trapped in a carbon structure. I mean even what we do every day - let’s be brutally honest - we all go to work and do things that are reliant on those things. It’s not straight-forward. What I do think, is that there’s paralysis within the g...

In this episode I'm in conversation with Tom Kay founder of ocean inspired outdoor clothing brand and BCorps Finisterre. This shorter than usual conversation took part just before Sea 7 - the world's first Ocean activist training camp, dreamed up and bought to the world by Finisterre with design partners Protect Blue, just before the G7 world leaders gathering in June down in Cornwall - the home o...

A spontaneous mix recorded just before the rise of the full moon yesterday. It’s a set I imagined playing to honour the full moon rising in the sky above me. A selection of tracks that have been connecting with me of late - deep, cosmic, entangled, emotional - Sort of how I’ve been feeling recently. I don’t know about you but I’ve been really missing dancing with people, dancing outside, feet on t...

In this episode I’m in conversation with Andy Cato, an award-winning mixed arable and livestock farmer and co-founder of Wildfarmed Grain. This was a treat on many fronts. Not just because Andy is a fascinating human doing extraordinary work to regenerate our planet but this conversation connects up many of my own deep interests. Before forming Wild Farmed Grain Andy was one half of music act Groo...

“When I lived in the Netherlands, even when you work on a project that you hope fixes something, like plastic recycling, at the end of the day you go to a supermarket to buy something, like a banana, shipped from Columbia. Then you sleep in a house that’s built from concrete, then you take a car somewhere, then there’s the roads, the lights that are always on, just to keep that Dutch system going....

“The truth of it seems to me that it’s not that the more than human world is something which some people have a particular affinity for and other people don’t, we all do. It’s something from childhood. Children adore animals, they dream of animals so often. Their sense of curiosity and comfort is often from animals. Their companions are very often from the more than human world. I think, in a sens...

“So when we start looking into ideas like regenerative cultures, you can see the ways we’ve learned to treat one another, which starts to link to the social justice element, of ways of using each other, abusing each other, and treating each other like s**t, to be quite honest. And what we’ve done is taken that same energy to the earth, but the earth is kicking us out like we’re bad tenants; and th...

“I think we’ve had to move from teacher to student. On environmental work and on outdoor experiences, for a long time we’ve been in a position of authority, if that’s the right word, but at least a voice that people looked to or listened to when we’ve wanted to talk about outdoor sport, great product, and environmental work. But with regards to climate justice, social justice and anti-racism, we’v...

This is episode 3 of a 3 episode series from Dream Space hosted via The SpaceShip Earth podcast. “There has been a shift globally in the way in which racial disparities are spoken about. This is no longer a conversation happening ‘off the record’ for fear of backlash, this is a conversation happening out in the open. I truly believe that having conversations, listening to stories, and recognizing...

This is episode 2 of a 3 episode series from Dream Space hosted via The SpaceShip Earth podcast. “2020 was the hottest year on record, I mean, we’re just breaking records left, right and centre, is a terrifying reality, particularly when most of the world’s population didn’t go anywhere, and life as we know it was on hold. However, despite this huge huge challenge ahead of us, I do feel hopeful, a...

This is episode 1 of a 3 episode series from Dream Space hosted via The SpaceShip Earth podcast. “The pandemic has touched every single person in our city, but although we’re in the same storm, we’re all in very different boats. Life in Bath has changed forever. So, with the UK Government's big reveal of the roadmap onto the other side of the pandemic, I feel its increasingly important to take som...

“Really the best way to understand blue mind is to start with what I call, red mind, and that is our new normal, we’re stressed, we’re anxious, we’re falling behind in many aspects of our lives. We’re distracted. We’ve got this technology everywhere we look. I’ve got technology in my face and in my ears, and that’s our new normal. We dive into a melee of input of sensory overload. And it takes it’...

“The fact that other people were trying to save my life, I can’t give up. I’ve been given a second chance, I can’t stop or not try. It makes you think how precious life is, and really any second, any moment, you can be put at risk, which I was. I was on the edge of living and dying. And I was so grateful to be given a chance again.” - Olive Burgess I wasn’t sure I could continue with my podcast af...
