Episode & Extras posts
We Need a Victory Story: Mobilising the Silent Majority with Liam Kavanagh of the Climate Majority Project
But what if you knew you were not alone in caring about the crises our planet faces? What if you knew that almost everyone in our culture cares about this, they just don’t know what to do about it? They don’t have what this week’s guest, Dr Liam Kavanagh, calls the ‘Victory Stories’ to show how we made it through.
We Need to Talk about Tech: Exploring AI, fresh Hope…and the power of Song with Nathalie Nahai
How do we shift the dial on the future when so many of those whose fortunes are sunk into Tech, and AI in particular, seem to be steeped in the Dark Triad of psychopathy, sadism and narcissism? Is there any sign of hope amidst all the chaos and the frozen despair that narratives of inevitability foster in us?
Grown Up Politics 2: How can Andy Burnham deliver a future that works? With Rupert Read and Clive Lewis MP
How can we bring power to those with wisdom and wisdom to those with power? Specifically, how can our new Prime Minister deliver a future that repairs the ruptures within our national and international culture in a time frame that works while in the face of biophysical collapse and the onward march of the political wing of predatory capital?
Healthy People, Healthy Planet, Healthy Future with Dr Amanda d’Almeida of Medicine Explained
How do we create healthy people, intimately enmeshed in a healthy biosphere so that, together, we can co-create routes to a healthy future?

Podcasters Unite! Thinking about systemic change with Tim Logan, Nathalie Nahai, Amit Paul, and Manda Scott
How do we think about systemic change? Specifically, how do four podcasters who spend their entire lives thinking about this think about systemic change – what it is and how we get there?
Design for the Ineffable: Crafting a Flourishing world with Dr Jenna Mikus
If each of us were able to discover what’s ours to do, we’d be well on the way to the transformation we need to get us through the pinch points of the climate, cultural and technological apocalypses that are heading our way. So today we’re talking with someone who crosses many disciplines in search of human flourishing.
The Art of the Sacred with Sylvie Barbier of Second Renaissance and Life Itself
“We are a collective of artists making art to bring forth the second renaissance.
We are alchemists. We create a new world through our work.
We are the bridge between the dying past and the future unborn.
Art is an expression of our consciousness and humanity, this is our path of transformation.
Life as an art.”
Grown Up Politics: A Chance for Change – Round Table with Neal Lawson of Compass and Rupert Read of the Climate Majority Project
We’re at a pivotal moment in world geopolitics. Increasingly the masks and the gloves are both off – but it’s not a binary choice any more between two sets of suits in slightly different coloured ties: now we have the right showing its true colours – and a chance for the progressive majority in this country to find its feet and lead us towards a genuinely thoughtful, emotionally literate, high-bandwidth politics that ditches the toxic tribalism and instead lays the ground for a future that could actually work.
