    Feb 24 2026
    Dave Stewart is one of the great musical chameleons of our time, a serial innovator and inspirational collaborator who became known to millions when he and Annie Lennox formed the Eurythmics in the early Eighties. In this interview with Drink The Wild Air, he talks about working with Nelson Mandela, his musical love affair with Mick Jagger, and how a German avant-garde record producer inspired him and Lennox to develop the Eurythmics’ distinctive style. He also talks about his visionary new venture-building company, Rare Entity, which supports artists who want to hang on to their originality and their intellectual property in the age of AI. There’s all this, and some great anecdotes too about Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison to name just a few.

    We live in an age where the relationship between humans and machines has never been closer. In his extraordinary book about how people relate to technology, Hybrid Humans, Harry Parker explores the limits of what the human body can be. Since his accident when he was a soldier in Afghanistan, in which he lost both his legs, he has become acutely aware of what technology can and can't achieve. Our relationship with everything from our mobile phones to our cars makes us all hybrids, he argues. But as an amputee he has found himself on the frontier of the latest scientific research, looking at everything from the latest prosthetics to the very nature of humanity itself.

    Sacha Dench made headlines around the world in 2016 when she took to the air in a paramotor to follow the migratory route of the Bewick’s swan. Her extraordinary journey was as scientifically important as it was spectacular – she was dubbed the "Human Swan" – and in 2020, as a result of her work, she was made UN Ambassador for Migratory Species. In this episode she talks about how, as Co-Founder and CEO of Conservation Without Borders, she continues to carry out critical work raising awareness about climate change. Among other things she tells the story of how last year she made headlines again when she followed the migratory route of the osprey from Scotland down to Guinea in West Africa.
