Welcome fellow travellers!

Your hosts Jamie and Skander talk with Chloe Miko, host and co-creator of The Burning Case Podcast!

Similar to ours, the Burning Case takes on topics related to environment and politics, but with their own european/democracy twist! In their own words they are: "a place for critical conversations about our future on this planet and how policy making and radical democracy are essential to ensure that future is not only green but also fair and inclusive.We’ll be chatting about the burning issues of our time, how policies are made and give you the tools to overhaul take the system!"

We discuss what it's like managing a podcast, how to talk about issues without scaring people and while making sure we're being inclusive and understanding. Chloe tells us about her favourite moments and episodes and a huge brainstorm occurs to find an answer to what civic education should be all about!

You can find her on instagram, twitter, spotify and everywhere else at The Burning Case Podcast!

Song: "Pour Toi" by MC Blue Matter (Prod. Leo The Kid)

Welcome fellow travellers!

Your hosts Jamie and Skander talk with Thomas Worsdell, an independent researcher currently working with the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) and the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP). A lot of Thomas' work revolves around land, people and the complex interactions between the two.

We learned a lot throughout the episode from Thomas about rights-based conservation tactics, the perilous strategies from that often threaten the culture and livelihood of indigenous peoples and what we can do to make sure saving the planet doesn't come at the cost of hurting vulnerable groups. Our conversation touches on everything from the Seychelles to Britain, and features a shocking outcome to our animal guessing game!

  Song: "Decade of Doubt" by Rip.Fun

Welcome fellow travellers!

 Your hosts Jamie and Skander talk with Carola Rackete, a woman of many talents: she's an ecologist, a conservationist, a master mariner, a polar scientist and a sea rescuer!

 Carola shot to fame as Captain of Sea Watch 3 in 2019 when she headed a ship that rescued people lost at sea and attempted to dock to safety in Lampedusa. The Italian government arrested her for saving lives at sea and Carola spent the year after being put up as a sort of representative of the "migrant crisis". However, as we find out in this episode, there is more to Carola than her stint of bravery from last summer. 

We discuss the German government's efforts to destroy the Dannenroder forest to build a highway, Carola and her fellow forest protectors' efforts to defend the centuries-old trees. Jamie and Skander open up the can of ugly worms that is eco-fascism and Carola explains her view of blocking out any attempt at mixing nationalism and fascism with environmentalism.
