  • Great podcast.

    I’ve listened to several of Tommy’s podcasts with different guests and always enjoy them. He has a fun easy going personality that seems to put guests at ease. Still, he asks difficult and though provoking questions. I always come away with a much better understanding of conservation issues while enjoying myself. Well done!

    I’m adding to my review! I loved the podcast with Lilian Mremi! Well done.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

215: Just Earth with Tony Juniper
Q: What is then the solution, right? Because ultimately what you're saying is, what is the strain of resources?
We need to fundamentally change what we grow, focusing on human well-being rather than just GDP growth.
215: Just Earth with Tony Juniper
Q: Do you think that to tackle these problems, the situation with climate, for example, needs to get that bad that even politicians can't ignore it anymore?
The situation is already bad, but change isn't likely to be driven by disasters alone due to denial and misinformation.
What Regenerative Agriculture Really Means
Q: How do you see this thing playing out with the constraints on emissions?
The focus should be on natural carrying capacity and managing nitrogen more effectively while looking at sustainable farming systems.
What Regenerative Agriculture Really Means
Q: Do you think this is a real danger that we come to the point when we deplete the soil to the point where it's over?
Yes, many regions face major soil degradation, but there's a quiet movement among agriculturalists and soil scientists looking for solutions.
Why Military Bases Might Determine the Future of Whales
Q: Is there a correlation between whale population data and the resumption of whaling?
For several whale populations, the argument against whaling based on population size is weakening, but it's complex due to geopolitical issues.
