  • Boy Wasted - tragic and important

    This series should be heard by everyone who has ever thrown a piece of plastic into the recycling. Made even more heartbreaking by the fossil fuel industry’s recent sabotage of the Global Plastics Treaty.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI and green jobs: Are junior ecologists about to be jettisoned?
Q: What's your take on how the industry is responding to AI adoption and those junior positions? And maybe any potential pitfalls to avoid?
Baker says businesses should invest in emerging professionals rather than replace them, and young ecologists should look for employers with clear responsible AI policies, training and safeguards.
AI and green jobs: Are junior ecologists about to be jettisoned?
Q: Can you just tell us how you and your team are using and incorporating AI into your ecological practice?
Baker says AI helps automate manual ecological work, capture and share knowledge across teams, and analyse large biodiversity datasets, freeing time for strategic thinking and client problem-solving.
Tory conference: What’s set for the bonfire under green deregulation plans?
Q: Could you give our listeners a sense of where the party has shifted on environmental policy compared to Labour and Reform, and what this means for voters?
Jamie observes a convergence in some reform-oriented rhetoric across Conservatives and Reform, with both sides advocating reduced regulation and greater ministerial control, but notes a historic Conservative track record on Net Zero and environmental policy that complicates the shift for voters who care about nature protection.
Tory conference: What’s set for the bonfire under green deregulation plans?
Q: And could you tell us a little bit about why this feeds into the Net Zero conversation as planning reforms and future home standards are discussed?
Jamie notes the tension between opposition to Net Zero measures and calls for planning reforms that couldlower building costs, highlighting that the party wants to scrap or roll back standards, arguing this would reduce costs and regulatory burdens, while critics warn it could undermine climate commitments.
Tory conference: What’s set for the bonfire under green deregulation plans?
Q: Can you just take us through some of the logic here of what the Conservatives are doing, because the working assumption is you have an arm's length body like Natural England to guard those sort of sensitive decisions on things like environmental regulation from short-term political interference.
Jamie explains that Conservatives want to abolish or subsume agencies into DEFRA, arguing that decisions should be made by ministers to improve democratic accountability, while acknowledging that some existing functions and people could be kept in-house, though there are significant risks and uncertainties about what would be retained or cut.
