Podcasts about Extinction Rebellion

On Thursday June 26, NY Divest from Death, Extinction Rebellion of the Capital Region, and the Upper Hudson Valley chapter of Codepink rallied outside NYS Comptroller DiNapoli's office on State street in downtown Albany to demand an end to investing NY retirement funds in Israeli bonds that help funds the Netanyahu government's genocide in Gaza and $5 billion in large fossil fuel companies that are driving global companies. We hear from Arthur with Code Pink; Eyad Alkarubi from the Palestinian Rights Committee; Xan Plymale of Divest from Death; and Wendy Dwyer and Tom Ellis (PRC).

Ugens Radio Information handler om, hvorvidt man kan hævde nødret, når man forsvarer et træ mod fældning. Om hvorfor skattemedarbejdere er gode tv-helte. Og om hvorfor det er godt, at de økonomiske vismænd rejser kritik af Finansministeriets regnemodeller --- »Hvis man som borger ser, at nu bliver der gjort skade på vores fælles levegrundlag, på naturen, så har man ikke bare ret, men måske endda pligt til at gøre fredelig modstand mod det.«  Sådan siger den 33-årige aktivist Ida Nicolaisen fra bevægelsen Extinction Rebellion, efter hun i byretten blev dømt for 11 lovovertrædelser, men kendt straffri for to af dem med henvisning til nødretsparagraffen i straffeloven. Den siger: »En handling, der ellers ville være strafbar, straffes ikke, når den var nødvendig til afværgelse af truende skade på person eller gods.«  Men gælder det også, hvis du forsvarer et træ mod fældning eller en salamander mod at miste sit levested? Jurister er uenige. Niels Malmos har set på sagen. Lone Nikolajsen har set 'Andre folks penge' på DR, som hun kalder  en »topunderholdende spændingsserie om kontorarbejde«. Det er et fiktionsdrama baseret på virkelige hændelser, altså den såkaldte udbyttesag, der kostede den danske statskasse anslået 12,7 milliarder kroner. Hør, hvorfor skattemedarbejdere faktisk er overraskende gode heltefigurer. Og så skal det handle om Finansministeriet. I vismændenes forårsrapport, der udkom tirsdag, sætter de endnu en gang fingeren på et særdeles ømt punkt i ministeriet, nemlig mangel på empiri til at understøtte deres regnemodeller. Hør, hvorfor det er så vigtigt – og endda temmelig spændende. 

Er det okay at bryde loven for klodens skyld? For at opnå sine politiske mål? Eller er det skadeligt for demokratiet? En 33-årig kvinde har i to tilfælde fået medhold i retten.

In de podcast Wat Blijft een aflevering over Alexander von Humboldt door Inge ter Schure.  Wat blijft van natuurvorser en ontdekkingsreiziger Alexander von Humboldt. Hij reisde naar Midden- en Latijns-Amerika, deed grote wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen en gold in zijn tijd als een ware rockster.    Inge ter Schure praat met:    Arita Baaijens, ontdekkingsreiziger. Reisde vijftien jaar met kamelen door de Sahara, bereisde deels hetzelfde gebied als Alexander von Humboldt, dit jaar verscheen van haar het boek ‘In gesprek met de Noordzee'.     Amarylle van Doorn, arts en activist bij Extinction Rebellion. Is in haar activisme geïnspireerd door Alexander von Humboldt als ‘de eerste klimaatactivist'.     Norbert Peeters, botanisch filosoof.

We all know the car of civilization is heading into climate meltdown. In a rare radio interview, Dr. Jem Bendell explains “Deep Adaptation”. Keep listening for Skeena Rathor, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion. Then a quick look at what a different Elon Musk was  …

This episode features a conversation with Rupert Read, co-director of The Climate Majority Project. It was recorded in March 2025.Rupert is an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, a former spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion, and at the Climate Majority Project, works to build a mass, moderate climate movement by supporting community-led adaptation, democratic participation, and practical climate action across the UK. He's the author of several influential books on climate and society, and is a frequent commentator on the likes of the BBC, Al Jazeera, and other major platforms.His latest book, Transformative Adaptation: Another world is still just possible, argues that we are now beyond the safe climate threshold and must bring adaptation to the cenre of our response — not as retreat, but as an opportunity for deep change. Transformative Adaptation offers a framework for reimagining how we live, work, and govern in the face of climate impacts. It champions localism, community resilience, and working with nature, while challenging dominant systems that are no longer fit for purpose.Amongst other things, Rupert and I discussed how communicators can help audiences meet the realities of our current predicament with active hope and a sense of agency, which actions and interventions need to be taken and how we can support them, and what the concept of “thrutopia” offers for imagining what it all might look like.Additional links: Get Rupert's book Transformative Adaptation: A new world is still just possibleCheck out Rupert's website The Climate Majority Project websiteSome words from Rupert on ThrutopiaArticle with Caroline Lucas about climate populism

How can we work within the wounds of severance to bring repair to the trauma-induced damage of people and planet?  Gail, one of the Co-Founders of Extinction Rebellion, and Miles walk from Brantham, Suffolk, to the nearby Stour estuary on a cold grey January morning. They chat about XR and protest, birdwatching, body politics, humans as a keystone species, psychedelics, and cultural change. After some time spent with the low-flying knots at the water, Miles and Gail forage some ingredients for lunch as they make their way back to the village.  As they cook and eat together, they ask what community practices we need for a kinder future. Gail is a Co-Founder of Extinction Rebellion. Her time is spent supporting people and actions to help us all meet the unfolding collapse of modernity. Dedicated to spreading dignity and freedom, reclaiming people power, and unifying with our global family, her activism has been a source of inspiration for many. Her doctorate is in molecular biophysics.   Here is a Greenbelt talk referred to in their conversation: https://www.greenbelt.org.uk/product/the-religion-we-need-next/   Here are some of the books that they mention: Hospicing Modernity - Vanessa Machado de Oliveira Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive - Kristen J.

Send us a textWhat if we could build a world where human connection trumps credentials? Where seeing the gold in others becomes a superpower? In this illuminating conversation, collaboration catalyst Gill Tiney reveals the transformative journey that shaped her mission to connect good people globally.Growing up in the multicultural East End of London in the 1960s gave Gill a unique perspective. As one of only two white children in her school, difference became something to celebrate rather than fear. "Different to me meant good. Different to me meant adventure," she shares, describing how this foundation shaped her entire worldview. This early experience crystallized into Collaboration Global's core value: "human beings first" – a refreshingly straightforward approach cutting through labels to focus on authentic connection.The impact of Gill's work extends far beyond business networking. While members certainly experience economic benefits, she shares profound stories of lives transformed: addiction recovery, family reconciliation, and even suicide prevention. Perhaps most striking is her ability to see "gold threads" between people – recognizing complementary strengths and opportunities individuals themselves often overlook, like the surveyor and office supplies company who sat beside each other for months without realizing their perfect business alignment.Gill's vision emerges as something extraordinary – an "online country" experimenting with collaborative approaches to global challenges. She draws inspiration from movements like Black Lives Matter and Extinction Rebellion, valuing collective impact over individual recognition. Her guiding philosophy comes from anthropologist Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."For those feeling overwhelmed by global problems, Gill offers simple yet profound wisdom: connect with good people, celebrate small wins, and trust that your authentic self is exactly what the world needs. Experience this collaborative energy yourself by visiting https://www.collaborationglobal.org and discovering how your unique talents might interweave with others to create something truly transformative.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Van Friese punker tot Rotterdams hoogleraar: je kunt het ver schoppen als buitenbeentje. Toch pleit Ferry Koster ervoor altijd te blijven twijfelen aan wat je denkt, gelooft en doet, want pas dan wordt het leuk. “Waarom zou iemand deze overheid vertrouwen? En, waarom zou iemand zich aan welke afspraak dan ook houden?” Horen we hier een crustige kraker? Een vastgeketend lid van Extinction Rebellion? Zeker niet: deze uitspraak is afkomstig van Ferry Koster, hoogleraar arbeid en instituties aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Maar laat je daardoor niet in de luren leggen: Ferry is ook voormalig bandlid van menig punk- en hardcoreband, met welluidende namen als Los Asesinos De La Superficialidad en Katzenjammer Kids. En Ferry is een groot pleitbezorger van twijfel: openstaan voor de mogelijkheid dat de wereld compleet anders in elkaar zit dan je altijd dacht. Aan de hand van zeven punk- en hardcoreplaten laat Ferry horen waarom dat twijfelen toch zo belangrijk is, en hoe van de gebaande paden afstappen dé sleutel tot succes vormt. Vond je dit tof?

What if climate anxiety could be the fire that sparks climate action? Dr. Charlie Gardner believes that it can. The conservation scientist and professor at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology joins us for a critical conversation on the importance of environmental activism, in whatever shape or form, on part of scientists and academicians in the fight against the climate crisis. This episode of A Climate Change serves as a much-needed reminder that actions will always speak louder than words.

HECTIC AI SHOWNOTES CAUSE WE ARE LAZY, GOBBLESS. Enjoy! The Two Jacks - Episode 109: Election Update, Tariff Tremors & Online PolicingHosted by: Hong Kong Jack & Jack the InsiderWelcome to Episode 109 of The Two Jacks! This week, Jack and Jackdive into the thick of the Australian federal election, dissect President Trump's latest tariff moves, debate the policing of online speech, and touch on French politics, climate action, and sports.Key Topics Discussed:Australian Federal Election (00:00:20)Campaign Update: Entering the second week.Polling: Labor showing potential for a majority (News Poll 52-48), similar to other polls (51-49 to 52-48), despite a low primary vote (~32.5%). Recalls Labor's 2022 win with a similar primary vote.Leaders' Debate: Discussion of the Sky News debate between Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese. Joel views it as a draw, though Albanese was declared the winner by audience vote (approx. 44-35).Campaign Weaknesses (00:17:45): Both Jacks agree the campaign lacks substance, particularly on crucial issues like productivity and housing affordability. They note the difficulty for citizens needing to live far from CBDs (e.g., South Morang vs. Fitzroy historically) and criticize the parties for avoiding hard decisions.US Tariffs & Global Economy (00:28:00 & 00:48:04)Trump's Tariff Policy: Discussion on the imposition and subsequent 90-day delay of new tariffs on countries like Vietnam (47%), the Philippines (17%), and others. Standard 10% tariff remains elsewhere.Negotiations: Reports of Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan engaging or preparing to negotiate, though Trump's claims about eagerness are questioned. Japan plans a "comprehensive response."Market Impact (00:30:08): Initial $9 trillion market loss, followed by a significant S&P 500 recovery (largest since 2008, but still below January levels). Oil prices jumped, and US bond yields fell, raising debt crisis concerns. Jack emphasizes the importance of bond yields (cost of borrowing for the US government).Motivations & Consequences (00:40:07): Is it an assertion of US economic muscle? Jack notes bipartisan support for the idea (feeling the US gets the short end), but the hosts critique the erratic rollout. Potential consequences include US inflation, slowed GDP growth, and job losses.Listener Feedback (Lawrence) (00:48:04): Criticizes the "schizophrenic" messaging (tariffs fixing jobs and deficits simultaneously) and the floated (but unconfirmed by Trump admin) idea of abolishing income tax.Outlook: Potential shift towards multilateral trade negotiations among other countries.Listener Feedback: ABC Radio (00:45:51)Listener Lawrence reflects on the Jacks' previous comments about changes at ABC Radio, noting a perceived shift in their stance from wanting "new blood" to "bemoaning changes."Joel's Clarification: Concern is about management bringing in people with FM radio backgrounds lacking national broadcaster experience, not against new faces generally.Jack's Clarification: Agrees on needing turnover ("new voices") but questions the strategy of chasing a youth demographic on ABC Radio, suggesting consolidation of the existing audience is better.Social Media Censorship & Online Dangers (UK Focus) (00:51:20)UK Arrests: Report from The Times: British police making ~33 arrests daily in 2023/24 for "offensive" online posts causing "annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety" (12,183 arrests total), a 58% rise since 2019.Policing Concerns: Many arrests lead to questioning and release without charge, raising questions about efficient use of police resources. Jack mentions the decriminalization of burglary adding context.Historical Context (00:54:31): Jack traces the issue back to the late 1990s and the concept of "non-crime hate incidents" arising from the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, arguing it introduced subjectivity and inconsistency compared to investigating objective crimes. He critiques arresting people before establishing if a crime occurred.Nuance & Online Harms (00:56:40): Joel notes arrests might relate to other offenses alongside "malicious communications." While agreeing trivial cases waste resources, he highlights the dark side of social media, including severe online bullying (mentions group "764-JAC") and stalking, arguing police surveillance is needed for serious threats.Under-16 Social Media Ban (01:02:37): Joel reflects on the Albanese government's ban, admitting he initially opposed it but is reconsidering due to the severity of online harms affecting children.French Politics Update (01:03:47)Far-right leader Marine Le Pen vows presidential run, controversially comparing herself to Martin Luther King Jr. and Alexei Navalny.Jordan Bardella (29 y.o. National Rally Chairman) emerges as a potential alternative, stating he could run if Le Pen is unable. Both Jacks see this as a likely and possibly strategically better outcome for the party.Climate Action & Protests (01:06:00)Discussion on Extinction Rebellion protests (e.g., Sydney Harbour Bridge closure) and their effectiveness versus public disruption.Critique of proposed policies like banning private jets or frequent flyer taxes as unworkable and unhelpful grandstanding.Jack jokes he's the "Greta Thunberg of Hong Kong" due to his low carbon footprint (no car, little travel).Sporting RoundupCricket (01:10:00): Sheffield Shield Final recap (Victoria vs WA), WA wins due to finishing top after a draw. Historical anecdote about Bill Ponsford's marathon innings in the 1948 final. Marcus Harris's recent form (161 in Shield, 138 for Lancashire).AFL (01:19:30): Discussion on Tasmania's potential AFL team, stadium funding debates, and the Gather Round concept's success in South Australia and potential future locations.Final Listener Note & Sign Off (01:29:46)Listener CD provides follow-up on a previous discussion about Basil Zempilis, noting his uncle (Con Zempilis) was the Chief Stipendiary Magistrate for Western Australia.The Jacks wrap up Episode 109.

Rupert Read, professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of East Anglia, now co-directs the Climate Majority Project, having previously helped launch Extinction Rebellion. He is the author of many books, including Why Climate Breakdown Matters.

They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.EPISODE 23: What should we do next?In Aug 2023 in Episode 1 of NFAWIF Clare and Charlie discussed Project 2025. Trump's now been elected and is dismantling the US state and backtracking on all climate action, while in the UK, Labour has gone all in for growth over the environment. Banks and big businesses are rolling back their climate commitments, and FF companies are rolling back their renewables targets. We should be making serious progress by now, but instead we're going backwards. So in this episode Clare and Charlie ask: where next for the climate movement?References:Gail Bradbrook Analysishttps://buymeacoffee.com/gailbradbrook/so-now-whatHumanity Projecthttps://humanityproject.uk/XRUK strategyhttps://extinctionrebellion.uk/2025/02/03/xruk-strategy-2025-26/Climate populismhttps://www.newstatesman.com/environment/2025/02/its-time-for-climate-populism---------------------Please, share, comment, subscribe, like, mobilise, and donate!https://chuffed.org/xr/uk

Daarom speelt ze haar eindejaarsconference nu al! Was het huisbezoek van de politie aan demonstranten deze week ook maar een mega-slechte 1 aprilgrap… Die bezoeken zijn intimiderend en Pim de Vleesschouwer van Extinction Rebellion, die zelf ook politie op de stoep kreeg, stapt naar de rechter en wil dat er zo snel mogelijk een einde aan wordt gemaakt. Verder:  * Een fluitconcert van het héle vrouwenvoetbalteam van Be Quick uit Dokkum. * Alles over Lies uit Sittard, de vrouw die 900 liefdesbrieven kreeg. * En waarom de frontman van 's lands meest roemruchte band, zich altijd een buitenstaander voelt  Presentatie: Dolf Jansen & Willemijn Veenhoven Cabaret: Kiki Schippers, Andries Tunru, Aron Elstak, Owen Schumacher Column: Sezgin Güleç Livemuziek: Lucas Hamming

Leurs actions militantes spectaculaires pour le climat, relayées par des vidéos, ont fait le tour de la planète : leur désobéissance civile prend la forme de jets de peinture sur des œuvres d'art, ou de perturbations en fanfare de l'espace public. Les organisations britanniques comme Extinction Rebellion ou Just stop Oil en ont fait leur marque de fabrique. Mais cette exposition a un coût : des arrestations et des peines de prison. Depuis le début des années 2000, la législation britannique est de plus en plus sévère. Marie Billon a pu rencontrer ces militants dans le centre de Londres devant la cour d'appel en train de statuer sur le sort de 16 militants...Et au pays de Greta Thunberg, les procès pleuvent aussi contre les militants. «Des militants pour le climat traités comme des criminels», selon la citation d'un rapporteur de l'ONU. Le modèle suédois n'est plus ce qu'il était. À Stockholm, Ottilia Ferey.   L'Europe, grande absente des manifestations en Serbie Quelle suite pour la mobilisation massive en Serbie contre le président Vucic et la corruption du régime ?  Après cinq mois de mobilisation, les étudiants et les opposants au régime réclament toujours la nomination d'un gouvernement de transition avant l'organisation d'élections. Mais un des traits marquants de ces immenses manifestations est l'absence de l'Union européenne.

Leurs actions militantes spectaculaires pour le climat, relayées par des vidéos, ont fait le tour de la planète : leur désobéissance civile prend la forme de jets de peinture sur des œuvres d'art, ou de perturbations en fanfare de l'espace public. Les organisations britanniques comme Extinction Rebellion ou Just stop Oil en ont fait leur marque de fabrique. Mais cette exposition a un coût : des arrestations et des peines de prison. Depuis le début des années 2000, la législation britannique est de plus en plus sévère. Marie Billon a pu rencontrer ces militants dans le centre de Londres devant la cour d'appel en train de statuer sur le sort de 16 militants...Et au pays de Greta Thunberg, les procès pleuvent aussi contre les militants. «Des militants pour le climat traités comme des criminels», selon la citation d'un rapporteur de l'ONU.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien Langford17th March 2025D O N ' T   B U R N   OUR   F U T U R E“The PM's Climate Speech we've been waiting for” from the SLF 2025 Join climate activists Violet CoCo, David Spratt and Mark Carter to view and reflect on the speech — that we all want to hear. They ask the government to safeguard the wellbeing of all Australians by responding at emergency speed to an honest, evidence-based, risk-averse assessment of our climate predicament. The panellists will discuss what that response could actually look like, why it is now necessary, and how it can provide climate-concerned Australians — those now despairing at current, demonstrably ineffective, national climate policy and actions — with a future they can demand.Remember with an election coming up:Pick your battles, Don't go alone, The Time is Now! Music by  James Brook featuring Violet Coco "Peoples' uprisinghttps://jamesbrook.bandcamp.com/album/yandoitViolet Coco https://greenagenda.org.au/author/violet-coco HEADLINES showing CLIMATE ACTION WORLDWIDE Our energy bills are torching the planetMarch 04, 2025 by Extinction RebellionActivists from Extinction Rebellion North and Axe Drax staged a banner-burning action on the day that tree-burning power station Drax announced earnings of over one billion pounds in 2024. The action called for an end to public money to burning trees for electricity. A spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion said: “Even the government's own advisors say we need to end burning trees in power stations by 2027. So the fact that the government has committed billions of pounds of public money so Drax can keep doing this until 2031 doesn't make sense.

Governments are cracking down on climate protests. They say activists have crossed the line into extremism. But history shows resistance only adapts. As repression intensifies, will it crush the movement - or make it stronger?

Jenna elevates the ceremonies by supporting the men in need.A Series in 17 parts, By Blacksheep. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. A Royal carry-on at the Cathedral.The King's coronation was only a few weeks away. Lots of different events were planned, and the church of St. Michael's was no exception.At St. Michael's vicarage, Reverend Morris was preparing to attend a very important concert at Liverpool cathedral, which was going to be filmed by the team from the popular religious TV programmer, Songs of Praise.Reverend Morris sniggered as he read an online newspaper headline."17th century diary reveals local vicar had an 11 inch penis.""I bet he was popular!" He said to his wife.Jenna laughed. "11 inches? Wow, that is impressive. Of course, it's not the size, it's what you do with it that counts.""Oh yes. I agree completely!" He put down his phone. "Right that's enough of that. We must get ready to leave. Gosh, I'm really looking forward to this concert! It's a real honor for us to have been invited to attend. His Majesty has been visiting several cathedrals this week."I'm excited too. Will we actually get a chance to speak to the King?""Perhaps, Jen. Not sure if he'll come round and speak to all of us, maybe a lucky few on the front row, eh?""Oh good. Must say, I'm relieved that pregnancy scare turned out to be a false alarm, Simon. I'd just got struck down with a stomach bug. I mean, I want to be a mum one day, but not yet. I'm not ready for such a big responsibility just yet, bringing a new life into the world.""You're only twenty-one, Jen. You've got plenty of time. Enjoy the best years of your life! And I just know you'll be a wonderful mum one day. I want us to enjoy our child when the time comes. You're so good with Christopher when he stays over."She nodded and thought to herself. After all, I feel I still have a lot of God's work to do, helping the men of the church.She wasn't the only one who was relieved. Gordon the organist was overjoyed too. Though after a private meeting with the vicar's wife in church last week, he confessed that he would've "pulled out all the stops" to support her, if it turned out he was the father. Thankfully, the status quo had been restored, and much to his delight, he and Jenna had resumed their weekly "organ practice" on Thursday nights.Gordon had been tempted to confess a whole load of other things to her, but had held back, when he got the impression she'd already figured out the strength of his feelings, and that put his mind at ease.Edward Hardwick was nervous. He was standing in for the regular organist at Liverpool, who'd been struck down with a bad case of flu. Edward knew he had big shoes to fill, as the man he was standing in for was a highly respected musician, with countless accolades and credits to his name."It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a regular Sunday service, but why did it have to be a concert where the King will be in attendance? All eyes will be on me. Songs of Praise will be filming. I'm not sure I can cope with this,”Edward was a brilliant young organist, but was prone to periods of self-doubt and nervousness. At twenty-eight, he was still a bit of a greenhorn, compared to the other organists he'd encountered, and had only just landed his first full-time organist job. The small parish church outside Liverpool where he was now the official organist, was a world away from this massive cathedral.Edward was sure a more experienced organist and choirmaster could've been found to perform here, but the clergy seemed convinced that he was ideal to take on the job. He took comfort from that. He must be doing something good if they'd put this much faith in him. And playing at the cathedral for a coronation concert would look very good on his resume.Later,"What a beautiful building this is, Jenna marveled as she and Reverend Morris took their seats in the cathedral ready for the concert. Jenna wore a black skirt suit with a white cotton blouse. Simon was in clerical black, wearing a blazer for travel to Liverpool."I've been to Liverpool loads of times but never visited the cathedral. I wonder if Father Aiden has been here? He used to be based at Liverpool before he came to our town.""Yes I think he's attended a few services here. That reminds me, I must email him sometime and see how he's getting on at the Living Earth Free Church. Last I heard, he'd got engaged to Róisín.""Ah, I'm really chuffed for him," Jenna replied with a smile, remembering her first encounter with the once-miserable priest at the vicarage social last year. She read through the order of service booklet. It was adorned with little golden crowns. The usual collection of familiar patriotic music, Handel's Messiah, Jerusalem, Rule Britannia, Crown Imperial and of course, the National Anthem.On the first page was some information about the cathedral organ."Liverpool Cathedral boasts the largest pipe organ in the UK, an instrument of tremendous power and majesty, but also of serenity and calm. Its sole purpose is to aid worship by creating a reverent atmosphere.""Gordon would be over the moon if he could get his fingers on this impressive instrument! Listen to this, Simon. An 'Anniversary' recital is given by the Cathedral Organist each year on the nearest Saturday to 18th, in commemoration of its dedication.The organ is situated in two chambers on opposite sides of the Choir. It currently comprises 10,268 pipes and 200 stops contained in nine divisions. There are two five-manual consoles; the original one up in a dedicated gallery under the North Choir case and a mobile recital console at floor level. The 'Trompette Militaire' and the 'Tuba Magna' stops are the loudest voices on the organ.""Makes the organ in our church look like a penny whistle by comparison," the vicar replied. "I think even Gordon would be a bit overwhelmed if he had to play this whopper.""He could play it with ease," she replied. "Gordon's the best organist in the world."The hall was filling up and the warm humid spring day made the cathedral quite warm. Jenna removed her blazer and laid it over the back of the pew.Jenna leaned her head on Simon's shoulder & closed her eyes. Soon she thought back to last night. Organ practice with Gordon had been wild, and those two old tin pipes he'd given her during Lent had been put to good use again."Lie back on the stool for me," Gordon whispered. Slowly, he traced the cold organ pipe down her naked body, before pausing and using the tip of it to tease her erect nipples. She giggled."So cold!""Delightfully tuned," he grunted. He moved a finger down and began teasing her clit. Then he pressed a key on one of the manuals."Can you sing that note for me?""Lah.""Excellent! How about these notes?" He played a few chords whilst fingering her."Ahh, doe, ray, me; oh my God,”Jenna breathed harder and faster until she shuddered and cried out in ecstasy, and writhed beneath him. The orgasm rocked through her body like a tidal wave; it was indescribable."Always so perfectly in key, Jenna. Very good, very, ah." Jenna's bare foot started rubbing his groin, and he struggled to remain composed."Open your organ loft, Gordon. I need to perform an inspection."As usual, he immediately succumbed to her charms. "At once," he smiled, unzipping his trousers and freeing his member from his underpants. "I am sure everything is in fine working order, but I might need a little bit of a re-tune.""I can help you there," Jenna said, reaching in she gave a quick kiss to the tip of his fat cock, and began to suck the length, then taking it deeper.Gordon cried out in delight, and dropped the organ pipe. It clattered onto the church's stone floor."Oh, so good," Gordon sighed. His words spurred her on, so she varied her technique, flicking her tongue down his shaft's sensitive underside, then up. She extended her tongue and licked the head of his cock like a lollipop."Umm, is my sexy organ daddy ready to give me some of his delicious cum?""Ahh, he's got plenty for his Jen, oh God here it comes!"Jenna jerked off the organist until he exploded all over her face. She opened her mouth as a huge, pearly wad of his issue landed on the bridge of her nose. A second spurt hit its target, and she quickly swallowed every drop."Jenna! Have you nodded off? King Charles has arrived!" Reverend Morris whispered, nudging his wife."Umm, oh no, sorry I was just thinking, oh yes, there he is!"Everyone stood up, as the soon-to-be crowned monarch took his seat and was welcomed by the Bishop of Liverpool. Thus began the usual formal introductions and as everyone sat down, the sound of the mighty organ radiated through the cathedral."Our concert begins with a rendition of that wonderful rousing piece by Handel, his Messiah, which was composed in 1741. It was first performed in Dublin on the 13th of April, in 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later. After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.""I love the Messiah," Reverend Morris whispered. "Remember when it was played at our wedding?""Sure do." Jenna's eyes gleamed.The music began, but after a few moments, it was obvious that the organist at the console wasn't quite up to playing the mighty beast that this great pipe organ was..Reverend Morris cringed as a few wrong notes were played. "Hmm, I don't think this chap has practiced this enough. Either that or he's drunk.""Well the bishop did say that he's not the regular organist. I think he's nervous. Poor guy. I'd be nervous if I had to play in front of the King, and I was being filmed for a TV programmer!""Oh dear," Reverend Morris said, as the unfortunate rendition continued. "This is sounding more like Handel's Messed-Up Messiah."King Charles appeared to be really enjoying the music. "Oh I say. Reminds one of Les Dawson," he whispered to Camilla. "Splendid entertainer, he was. Dearest Mummy used to love it when he appeared at the Royal Variety Performance in the Eighties. It takes one a great deal of skill to play wrong notes like that!"Camilla simply nodded, but she wasn't fooled. This wasn't meant to be a Les Dawson tribute, but it was certainly interesting."Did I ever mention that I often play organ music to my plants?" the King continued.More error-filled hymns and pieces followed, until the first half of the concert came to an end, and the interval was welcomed by just about everyone, but mostly by the organist."Fuck, I screwed everything up," Edward groaned, shuffling off, his face burning with shame.Some of the overflow crowd lined the hallway, off the sanctuary. Edward faced the gauntlet of critics as he passed through. "Hey mate, is this some kind of joke?" A man shouted. "Have you even taken an organ lesson? Because that was bloody awful!""My three-year old could play better than that!" A woman added."My Labrador could play better than that!""Shame on you! You must be a republican. Playing like that in front of His Majesty!""Look I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" Edward mumbled, rushing away from the crowded hallway. He had to hide somewhere and try and compose himself, or he'd never get through the second half of the concert.Meanwhile, Jenna had been navigating her way back from the toilets, which was proving to be a bit of a nightmare, due to the crowds and the security measures in place due to the monarch's visit."I definitely shouldn't be down here," she said, hurrying down a small corridor. "Uh-oh, this is the vestry. How did I end up here? I've got to get back to my seat!"Hurrying through a curtained area, she walked right into a man clad in red cassock and white surplice, whom she assumed was a vicar."Oh, so sorry; Reverend!" She mumbled."No I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," the man replied. "Um, I'm not a vicar. I'm Edward, the organist.""Oh right," Jenna said. "Well nice to meet you. Um, I think I'm lost. Please could you,” She looked at him and noticed his eyes were red from crying. "Hey; are you okay?""I'm fine," Edward sniffed. "Uh, yes, just through there and turn right. Keep right, because the left side is out of bounds because the King's sat over there.""You've been crying," Jenna said.‘What a cute guy!'She thought to herself. He looks just like Robert Pattinson. Though she preferred older men, she figured this younger chap was in need of some comfort and a confidence boost. And she never could resist a man wearing church vestments."I've messed up," Edward sighed. "Surely you heard how bad I played during the first half.""I don't blame you," Jenna replied. "I would've been wetting myself if I'd been asked to play in front of the King. I think you did great."My God, this guy is an adorable cinnamon roll!"Oh thanks. I was still shit though. Um, are you an organist?""Not officially. I'm a pianist and I work at my church's Sunday school. The organist at my church who I like, er, who I'm friends with, he has been giving me lessons. It's taken a while, but I can just about stand in for him and do the morning Eucharist. But I still play the odd wrong note or pull out the wrong stops. It's such a complicated instrument! So don't feel bad."Edward relaxed. "I wish all the members of the public were as understanding as you are. I'll probably get a grilling off the Bishop later, as well.""Ignore the haters. And the Bishop is a man of God, so he should be merciful.""Heh, maybe. What's your name?""Jenna. Pleased to meet you Edward! I expect you've heard this before, but you look a bit like Robert Pattinson.""Yeah. I have. Cedric Diggory playing the organ. You'd think he'd use magic so he could play perfectly and without feeling nervous!""Can't use magic in the Muggle world!" Jenna smiled."Heh, are you a Potter fan?""Nah, never really got into it. But I have seen some of the movies.""Same here.""Are you still feeling nervous?""Terrified. I have to play the national anthem at the end of the second half. If I play a wrong note during that, well I'm dreading it.""I'll stop you from feeling nervous," Jenna winked."Oh, how do you plan to do that? Do you have some booze?" He jumped as he realized her arms had slipped round him."No. I'll give you something better than booze." She nibbled at the outside corners of his mouth, teasing him to open for her."Open for me," she whispered, as she continued to place soft kisses.Edward, who was too shocked to process what was happening, only registered the pretty redhead's body pressing him against the wall. Unable to move, he simply stood in her embrace, neither accepting nor returning her kisses.He suddenly blushed even more at the sudden realization that he was becoming erect. This is insane, he thought to himself. The second half is about to start and I'm,"You're really sexy," Jenna murmured, sending shivers down his spine. Edward was powerless to resist her. "Do you feel me?" She asked in a husky whisper, pressing herself against him, "Do you feel how much I want you?" His shyness was an incredible turn-on, and making her terribly horny. She could feel herself getting wetter by the second.Edward looked into her lovely eyes and bent down to kiss her.At their sweet contact, Jenna heard Edward sigh contentedly. He reached down and grasped her arse. Suddenly, she felt his tongue enter her mouth, and his erection pressing against her."What would you like, Edward?""Confidence," he mumbled back.Jenna pushed him into a small cloakroom. "To give an organist confidence, I need to inspect his organ pipe," she purred, swiftly reaching under his surplice and fumbling with the buttons on his cassock. "All these buttons, but no worries, I'll find a way in, ah, there we go!" She unzipped his trousers and reached inside.Edward gasped as her warm hand grabbed his cock. It stiffened further in her grasp."Oh, what a big pipe you have. It seems like a fine one to play a tune on!" Jenna grinned. These corny organ puns worked so well on Gordon, and it seemed that they worked on Edward too. All male organists liked it if they were complimented on the size of their instrument, surely?Edward couldn't believe this was happening. The concert was set to resume in ten minutes but here he was, he just closed his eyes as Jenna worked her magic.Another delicious-looking cock. Edward was her third organist, after Gordon and Raymond Wilson from Oakwood Road Methodist church. Third time lucky!Jenna knelt in front him and kissed the top of his enlarged cock. Then she gently kissed all around its head. With long, gentle strokes she licked up and down the length of the shaft as Edward began to moan with pleasure. She took his balls in one hand and began to massage them. His moans increased.Reverend Morris checked his watch, wondering where Jenna had got to. The second half was about to begin."Did she get lost on her way to the Ladies?" He wondered. Most of the guests had returned to their seats and the Bishop was approaching the podium."Come on Jen, hurry up, or you'll miss the start. What on earth is she doing?"Edward immediately entered her and drew a strangled gasp as he plunged his rigid cock to the hilt. He pulled his hips back so that his cock withdrew partially from her sweet grip. He pushed forward again and buried himself back inside her. He'd been single for a while, and it showed. Jenna moaned at the sensation of this eager young organist thrusting in her. She reached her peak only a few seconds before he spurted his cum deep within her, and when they finally parted, Edward felt like he could conquer the world. Never before had he experienced sex as good as this.Jenna gave him a kiss and zipped up his trousers. "I think it's time I returned to my seat.""Uh, can I get your email or something? I'm on Twitter, but I don't tweet much. Are you on there? Hey, I'm the organist at St Paul's church in Crosby. It has a website. My contact details are on there. What happens now?"She winked at him and gave him a final kiss. "Now, you go and play the organ like a pro. For King and Country.""Oh. Right. Yes. I will!"Jenna hurried down the corridor, a big smile on her face. The archway to the main hall was blocked by a man in a suit standing in the middle."Excuse me," she muttered, tapping his arm, without realizing who he was."Ah, hello there!" King Charles smiled.Jenna froze."You must be one of the cathedral's hard-working staff?" He said."Er, I, Your Majesty." Jenna gave an awkward curtsey. Damn, how embarrassing!"It seems we had a disturbance during the interval. Some fellows from Extinction Rebellion burst in and tried to glue themselves to the pulpit. Did you see it?""Er, er, no I didn't. I was back there." Jenna was desperate to get away, but the King was in a talkative mood and took hold of her hand."All quite amusing! What's your name, dear?""Jen, Jenna."He gestured to a photographer. "See here, this young lady, one of many who is a credit to the cathedral. This is Jenna, yes, yes. Are you getting this? Nice smiles now!"Hope I haven't got cum on the front of my dress, Jenna thought, as the camera clicked away.King Charles finally released Jenna's hand. "Splendid to meet you! Plant some trees!""Thank you. Will do." When he eventually turned and walked to some other people, she was able to hurry down the side aisle and back to her seat."Oh Jen!" Reverend Morris gasped, as his wife hurried beside him. "I saw everything! You got to shake the King's hand! Oh you lucky thing! I'm so pleased for you!""I, I got a bit lost coming back from the toilets and I,” Jenna stammered, still in shock."Thank God you did! If you hadn't exited from that particular area, the King wouldn't have seen you!""I was so nervous. I bet I looked a right muppet. And there was a photographer there!""Not just a photographer. The cameraman from Songs of Praise filmed you too!""Oh no!""Relax, you looked great as always. You're a bit sweaty though. Must be the nerves. It's not like you to be nervous though!

Episode Page Our guest for this episode is the filmmaker and artist, Maja K. Mikkelsen. And the occasion of our conversation is her latest film - ‘The Last Observers' - which comes out December 18 in the United States and has already been out in Europe.  It's a brilliant portrayal of a Swedish couple's 36 year commitment to record the weather, every three hours, every day for 36 years. And for you bird nerds listening, they are based in Falsterbo one of the top destinations for observing the autumn bird migration in Europe, where they initially started their life together ringing birds. And the couple - Karin and Lennart - also happen to be Maja's parents.  I really love this film because it is shows another way. The way I see Karin and Lennart is as a different sort of activist. They have a deep contentment and gratitude for what they have in a Western society where the prevailing attitude is for faster, more and better. They also show deep commitment - to each other and to the more-than-human world. Every day, every third hour for 36 years they recorded the weather. And before they took over the weather station, they worked so they could volunteer to ring birds in Falsterbo.  Yes, we need the Greta's of the world and Extinction Rebellion. But we also need people like Karin and Lennart who push against harmful cultural norms in a much more quiet fashion. Not everyone can or wants to lead a march or get arrested through civil disobedience or free solo El Capitan in Yosemite. They show through Maja's film that there is more than one way to live and have a relationship with nature and the more than human world.  We've talked to some amazing artists this year and I'm glad we are ending the year with one of the most thoughtful. Maja's film is top notch in my book and many other seem to agree as it earned Best Short Film at Mounatainfilm and Best Cinematography and Best Director at the Ulsan Ulju Mountain Film Festival in South Korea, apologies for what I am sure is not the correct pronunciation. If you go to patagonia.com/stories, you can find the film or visit majakmikkelsen.com.

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on November 14, 2022. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. Fossil fuels are a time bomb, and humans are entitled to stop them. That's the argument of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline,” a book by Andreas Malm calling for activist groups like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion to adopt radical tactics against the fossil fuel industry, including property damage. As COP27 enters its second week, greenwashing is rife, protest is limited, and fossil fuel emissions are still rising. After over a quarter-century of UN-sponsored talking, Malm argues it's time for people to take action into their own hands. In this episode: Andreas Malm, author of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” and professor at Lund University Episode credits: This episode was updated by Tamara Khandaker. The original production team was Alexandra Locke, Negin Owliaei, Chloe K. Li, Ruby Zaman, and our host Halla Mohieddeen, in for Malika Bilal.  Our sound designer is Alex Roldan.

Breaking Together In this conversation, Jem Bendel discusses his journey from a career in corporate sustainability to advocating for a radical shift in how we approach climate change and societal collapse. He reflects on his influential paper, 'Deep Adaptation,' which argues that the sustainability movement is no-longer appropriate and that we should prepare for societal collapse. Jem introduces his new framework, 'Breaking Together,' which emphasizes community resilience and eco-libertarianism as a path forward. He shares personal insights about his upbringing and how they shaped his worldview, ultimately advocating for a collective approach to lead localised change.  Takeaways The sustainability movement has largely failed to address the urgency of climate change. Deep Adaptation provides a framework for discussing societal collapse. Many people have been radicalized by the realization of impending collapse. Eco-libertarianism offers a path that contrasts with eco-authoritarianism. Community resilience is essential in the face of societal challenges. Personal experiences can deeply influence one's worldview and actions. A good life is about inquiry, creativity, and connection, not just longevity. We must reclaim control over our resources and communities. The dominant narratives in society can limit our understanding of what is possible. Collective action and community engagement are crucial for creating a better future. Bio Prof. Jem Bendell is Founder of the Deep Adaptation movement, an emeritus professor with the University of Cumbria and the co-Founder of the International Scholars' Warning on Societal Disruption and Collapse. He worked for over 20 years in corporate sustainability, helping launch or develop many international initiatives. That led to his recognition as a Young Global Leader. His 2018 paper "Deep Adaptation" was downloaded over a million times and is widely credited with helping inspire the growth of the Extinction Rebellion movement. That marked a departure, whereby he concluded the field of sustainability had failed. His new book "Breaking Together" goes further by outlining a collapse-based political framework. Jem also co-hosts the short online course Leading Through Collapse: https://www.katie-carr.com/leadingthroughcollapse.

Our host Eva is joined by Kimmy Cushman of Plant Based Treaty. Kimmy Cushman is a scientific advisor and campaigner at Plant Based Treaty, a global grassroots organization working to bring the food system to the forefront of climate change policy. While studying physics at Yale University, Kimmy became an organizer for the graduate student union, and after completing her PhD in 2023, Kimmy is now leveraging her scientific background and community organizing skills to educate policy makers about the environmental impacts of animal agriculture and engage the public into action. In addition to advocating for plant-based solutions at UN Climate Change and Sustainable Development conferences, Kimmy also works on grassroots campaigns in New York City and Boston to empower everyday people, business owners, and city councilors to promote healthy and sustainable food. She's also growing the movement by developing collaborations between Plant Based Treaty and other food and environmental organizations like Better Food Foundation, Citizens Climate Lobby, Extinction Rebellion, 350.org and more.

In this episode, we're joined by composer and activist Michael Levy, to explore the intersection of music, art, and climate action. Michael discusses the inspiration behind his latest album focused on the climate crisis, and how he translates complex environmental issues into emotionally charged music. We dive into his songwriting process and how he balances the weight of environmental issues with his creative flow. Michael also shares stories from his involvement in movements like Transition Town, Extinction Rebellion, and his role in the resistance against the Line 3 pipeline, reflecting on how these experiences have shaped his music and activism. We also explore the challenges of staying resilient in the face of burnout, and the role music plays in sustaining his long-term advocacy. Join us for an in-depth conversation about how music can drive action and provide hope in the fight for a sustainable future.

Happy Monday! Sam speaks with Dana Fisher, director of the Center for Environment, Community, & Equity and professor in the School of International Service at American University, to discuss her recent book Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action.  First, Sam runs through updates on Harris' presidential candidacy and VP pick, the next presidential debates, more Trump-era corruption, Trump's legal woes, Elon Musk's political malfeasance, the US Judicial system, Israel's torture regime and genocidal offensive, civil unrest in the UK and Bangladesh, and a global stock market crash, also diving into the climax of Harris' veepstakes as Shapiro's past comes under fire. Professor Dana Fisher then joins, diving right into the astounding failure of the last few decades of the West's attempt to “handle” the climate crisis, the acknowledgment of the politics of climate change alongside the refusal to acknowledge the expansive social and economic reforms needed to address it, and the major divide in who has contributed to (and is affected by) climate change. Next, Professor Fisher addresses the idea of Harris (or any Democrat) as a “savior,” and why Biden's climate agenda, despite being far and away the most progressive of any US President, was still too little too late, parsing through the major wins of his platform, and where he fell short. After walking through the divisions between the “insider” and “outsider” games of the climate movement, and the major roles they play in disrupting capital's status quo and pushing material change, Dana and Sam wrap up with a brief conversation on activating people on this issue, assessing the efficacy of the electoral strategy, and platforming the major players in the climate movement. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the gritty details behind RFK's insane Bear-Carcass story, Usha Vance's attempt to defend her husband's insane misogyny, and Donald Trump's hop onto the anti-olympic transphobic bandwagon. Francesca Fiorentini takes TYT to task over their legitimization of absurd right-wing transphobic talking points, Jordan Peterson tries to hook up Elon Musk with the manly meat diet, and Mehdi Hasan continues to pull no punches when covering the history and ongoing execution of Israel's apartheid state. JD Vance attempts to take the “weird” allegations head-on (it's a bad choice), plus, your calls and IMs!

A group founded by Mrs Clinton from the ashes of her failed presidential bid has donated $500,000 (£391,500) in the last three years to the protest group's California-based financiers. Just Stop Oil's largest financial backer is a controversial Californian non-profit, the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF), which pays for stunts by environmental groups across the world, including Extinction Rebellion. A paper trail of transparency disclosures, seen by The Telegraph, shows that one of the CEF's major supporters is Onward Together, a campaign organisation founded by Mrs Clinton in the aftermath of her 2016 presidential campaign against Donald Trump.
