In the 5 Podcast, Thomas Loudon investigates issues and solutions that create a more sustainable world one step at the time.    Just because we don’t hear much when we stick our heads in the water, doesn’t mean that there isn't sound there. In fact, sound is everywhere in the ocean – and it’s vital to marine life. It’s how sea creatures navigate, how they communicate, how they find mates and how they get to their next meal. And after millions of years of evolution, it used to be perfect. Then humans came along and added the sound of engines, airguns, sonar and more to the soundscape. In this episode we speak to a marine biologist Nathalie Houtman, marine ecologist Serena Rivero and Michel André, the director of the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics in Barcelona, about the effects of our noise on life in the ocean – and even life on land. Frans Hendrik Lafeber tells us how the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) is making ships quieter. But we start with a man who had a close encounter with killer whales, and wonders whether noise played a role.

In the 5 Podcast, Johanna Kinnock and Maria Jencel find out what it actually takes to be the change they want to see in the world. It isn't just people who need to look a certain way or be a certain size and shape to live up to society’s beauty standards. It’s the same for fruit and vegetables. In fact, up to 40% get thrown out because they are too ugly. But does that make any sense? Are the pretty veggies fresher or tastier, or is it just about looks? In this episode of the 5 Podcast we speak to food expert Sarah Phillips, who started the Ugly Produce is Beautiful educational campaign in the United States. We head to the streets to offer people the choice between a pretty veggie and an ugly one. And we speak to Carolin Schiemer, co-founder of Eat Grim, which takes ugly produce from farms and sells it to consumers, so it doesn’t go to waste. More from 5:"Nothing makes me happier" - The food heroes rescuing unwanted vegetablesAll the food we don't eat - The scale of the world's food waste challenge, and how we can solve it"We need to stop companies from spoiling us" - Tristram Stuart on fixing the food waste problemWaste not - Aliza Eliazarov finds beauty in discarded food Follow us:Fivemedia.comInstagram Facebook Twitter 

Johanna Kinnock & Maria Jencel find out what it actually takes to be the change they want to see in the world.What comes in all shapes, sizes and colours, is a vital life source, and ends up in the bin one third of the time? You guessed it: food. In this episode of the 5 Podcast we’re talking about food waste. Johanna and Maria ask how big a problem it is for the planet, how we can waste less, and how we got so casual about wasting food in the first place. We're joined by Tristram Stuart, a campaigner who wants us all to throw less away, and Mette Toftegaard Rasmussen of eSmiley, which makes software to help businesses get food waste under control. Plus, Maria comes face to face with the amount of food she actually wastes in a year. What we read and watched Tristram Stewart: the global food waste scandal, ted talk Selina Juul: Stop Wasting food, ted talk Food waste is an ethical scandal, the UN  Finding 5 WebsiteInstagram Facebook Twitter 

Johanna Kinnock and Maria Jencel try to find out what it actually takes to be the change they want to see in the world. “Greenwashing” is the scary trend of companies' trying to appear far more sustainable than they actually are. In the corporate race to sound and look as green as possible, how can consumers keep up? How do we know what's for real? We speak to greenwashing expert Andreas Rasche about whether intention matters when it comes to sustainability and Gordon Renouf, co-founder of popular brand transparency app Good On You about how everyone has the right to know where their clothes came from. We also throw ourselves in the green end by trying to go a day without consuming anything un-sustainable (to dubious success).  Here are links to what we've been reading about greenwashing. The troubling evolution of greenwashing, The GuardianGood On You, transparent fashion app This app tells you how ethical fashion brands really are, DAZED

For this episode of the 5 Podcast, we take a deep dive into our own data and investigate whether Mark Zuckerberg truly knows "who our next partner will be”. We ask digitisation expert Christiane Vejlø (Elektronista) about what exactly he meant by that, and whether a moral compass is on its way to Silicon Valley anytime soon. Finally, we talk to the founder of an ethical search engine, who proves that there are people in the tech world who are at least as concerned about our right to privacy as they are about making money.   Here are some of the things that inspired us when making the podcast. The Social Dilemma, Netflix.

Johanna Kinnock and Maria Jencel ask big questions about the world around them and get an eclectic mix of guests to help find the answers. What didn’t you learn in school that you wish you had? What skills do you hope the class of 2020 is graduating with? The education system is like a super tanker that hasn’t changed direction much ever since attending school first became mandatory around the year 1800. But at 5 we think that with all the brand new challenges looming on the horizon, it’s time for schools to break out of their tired old ways. For this episode of the 5 Podcast, the 5 Media editorial staff invent our perfect school, “the new school”, and we speak to some of the fiery teachers trying to get coding, sex ed and climate to the top of the curriculum.  Here's where to go if you want to learn more: Raising a digitally literate generation - Lis Zacho Tedx TalkFrom what if to what next - Rob Hopkins podcast with Karen MacLean from the Green Free SchoolWhy are Finland’s schools so successful? - Smithsonian Magazine  Finding 5 Facebook Instagram Twitter Linkedin 

Johanna Kinnock and Maria Jencel ask big questions about the world around them and get an eclectic mix of guests to help find the answers. 2020 has been a year we will always remember, with Corona, BLM and a historical election coming up. As the news has run amok, the internet has tried to keep up, which has led to an explosion of satirical, hysterical and downright absurd memes. Today the 5 Podcast examines memes as a cultural phenomena of our time. We dive deep into the meme world and ask - why are they so popular? What do they do, if anything? And why is humour so powerful when the world looks like it’s burning? We also take on the daunting challenge of making our own meme, and get some help from a meme expert and a meme maker along the way. As always, here are some links to stuff we talked about in the podcast: What exactly is a 'Karen' and where did the meme come from? - The BBC The Memes!

Chants, toppling statues, signs and singing fill the streets worldwide in response to the death of George Floyd and 100s of other African Americans at the hands of the American Police. This is the third and final episode in the mini-series “After the protest”, where Johanna Kinnock and Maria Brus Pedersen dive into some of the big questions raised by the current demonstrations with some of the leading experts and changemakers on the issue. For this episode they speak to people who imagine different futures for the police: David Kennedy, a criminologist who believes that before we can move forward the American Police needs to engage in a reconciliation process with the people. They speak to former police officer Melvin Russel who believes that the police have the potential to do good but needs to be reformed. And they speak to lawyer and activist Derecka Purnell who believes that we need to abolish the police completely and collectively imagine a different future. Listen to the previous episodes in the mini-series here: After the protests #1: From slave patrols to police brutality - a history of race and the American Police - hereAfter the protests #2: So you want to be an ally? - hereHere’s what to read if you want to learn more:An interview with the Mayor of Minneapolis - The Daily.

We also speak about the “two little Latin girls” who showed the world "what they could do” at the Superbowl, and ask: when did mainstream pop-culture get political?
