New Earth Sessions Mix from @dan__burgess : I’m struggling with my voice at the moment. And words. So I’ve been taking a pause from recording conversations. The podcast is in a composting phase Which feels absolutely right for this time. Autumn has always been an important season for me. I feel the transition in a very embodied way. Deep in my psyche and bones. The letting go. The breaking down Of...

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...
