    As someone very interested/concerned with all things "climate change," this podcast has given me a lot of information, tools for activism, and opportunities to ease my climate anxiety through the expertise of those featured on the podcast.

  • Very important podcast to listen to, especially if you are concerned for the future of our world's climate, as well as the escalating environmental disasters that have been occurring due to climate change. This podcast also gives very enlightening perspectives on confronting climate change, such as defending the defenders (pro-climate activists), how the way we see climate change affects the way we confront it, and the concept of having a regenerative mindset.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Navigating Collective Care, Heat Waves: Bioacoustics, Ecology & Human Synchronicity w/ LINCOLN CENTER’S SHANTA THAKE
Q: With all the talk about fast-moving technology and AI, how do we get back to our inner timing and the 'deep waters' of who we are?
The answer lies in embracing pauses, contemplation, and creative practice. Art provides a space to think, reflect on our humanity, and harness agency to respond to the world rather than simply get swept along by disruption.
Building Bridges Between Memory, Nature & Architecture with SALWA & SELMA MIKOU
Q: How do you approach teaching architecture to foster imagination and social responsibility in students?
We balance two pedagogical streams: one that emphasizes rational technical foundations, and another that nurtures imagination and sensitivity. We encourage students to experiment with materials, allow diverse expressions, and collectively explore what a space for togetherness could be. The goal is to cultivate a mindset where students learn to design for social interaction, memory, and place, not just function.
How Flowers Made Our World: DAVID GEORGE HASKELL on Deep Time, Plant Intelligence & Listening to the Living World
Q: David, what started you on this journey of trying to understand life, and why did you focus on flowers to tell the story of us?
The conversation reveals that flowers are central to the story of life and human civilization; I chose them to illuminate how ecosystems form through relationships, not isolation, and to highlight how flowering plants have reshaped environments and diets over millions of years.
Games that Help Us Reconnect with Nature & Our Sense and Wonder & Play with C. THI NGUYEN
Q: What is value capture, and why is it a problem?
Value capture occurs when external metrics or institutional rankings supplant or distort our internal values, guiding behavior in ways that prioritize the score over meaning; it can permeate education, science, religion, and everyday life, diminishing authentic engagement and creativity.
Games that Help Us Reconnect with Nature & Our Sense and Wonder & Play with C. THI NGUYEN
Q: How do we maintain spontaneity, play, and freedom despite the social structures, institutions, and scoring systems that shape our lives?
Nguyen argues that play and the creative process have intrinsic value beyond measurable outputs; we should cultivate environments that honor process, balance structure with openness, and resist letting external metrics fully redefine our values.
