Podcast appearances and mentions of Jay Griffiths

Today's guest is Jay Griffiths, award-winning author of several books, including the acclaimed Wild: An Elemental Journey. She speaks with co-host Rachel Donald about the importance of language for preserving communities and their cultures, the impact of colonization and globalization on Indigenous communities, and the innate human connection with the natural world in the land of one's birth.    Roughly 4,000 of the world's 6,700 languages are spoken by Indigenous communities, but multiple factors (such as the decimation of human rights) continue to threaten their existence along with their speakers' cultures.   The guest also explores parallels between humans, nature and culture: “There's great research that suggests that we learned ethics from wolves [by taking] an attitude to the world of both me the individual, and of me the pack member,” in caring for all members of the group, she says.   Please invite your friends to subscribe to the Mongabay Newscast wherever they get podcasts, from Apple to Spotify, or download our free app in the Apple App Store or in the Google Store to get access to our latest episodes at your fingertips.   If you enjoy the Newscast, please visit www.patreon.com/mongabay to pledge a dollar or more to keep the show growing, Mongabay is a nonprofit media outlet and all support helps!   See all our latest news from nature's frontline at Mongabay's homepage, mongabay.com, or follow Mongabay on any of the social media platforms for updates.   Image credit: Kali Biru (Blue River) on Waigeo Island in Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia.

In this episode I discussed Dr.Goodmans upcoming book project with about the effects of environmental pollution on health. Dr. Goodman emphasized the need for a shift from traditional medicine to ecological medicine and called for changes in individual lifestyles and societal actions to reduce environmental toxins' impact on health. The discussion covered the health risks associated with exposure to toxic substances, the dangers of environmental poisoning, and the harmful effects of fluoride. Dr. Goodman also discussed dietary sources of iodine and the benefits of different types of oils for cooking. The Podcast concluded with a discussion about the dangers of excessive sugar consumption, the importance of aligning our lifestyle with the changing seasons, and the importance of vitamin D during the winter months.

CO TO ZNAMENÁ BÝT ČLOVĚKEM? ODPOVĚĎ NENAJDETE V KNIHOVNÁCH ANI V INTELEKTUÁLNÍCH DISKUZÍCH, ALE V DEŠTI, VĚTRU, BLÁTĚ A NEPOHODLÍ, KDY KAŽDÝ PÓR KŮŽE A KAŽDÁ BUŇKA VAŠEHO TĚLA DIVOCE KŘIČÍ, ŽE ŽIJE. Co udělá s našimi smysly dlouhý pobyt v divočině? Kdy a jak vznikaly první lidské příběhy? A kdy vlastně vzniklo naše „já“? Málokdo z nás tuší, co jsme to vlastně za stvoření. Tato kniha je pokusem zjistit, kdo vlastně my lidé jsme. Charles Foster se vypravil do divočiny a zkusil žít v lesích a neolitických osadách, stejně jako kdysi naši předci. Jeho výzkum v terénu probíhal dost nestandardně a vědec přežíval na velmi zvláštní stravě, o čemž svědčí mimo jiné peprné historky z lovu divokých králíků a spaní pod širákem. Ve své knize nám nabízí fascinující a jedinečný vhled do původu nás, lidí, i do evoluce lidského myšlení a ukazuje, kdo jsme a jak fungujeme ve společenství. Jako člověk čerpá z poznatků psychologie, neurovědy, zdravotnického práva, přírodopisu, zemědělství a etiky a je velmi odvážným pokusem jednoho muže pocítit propojení s 40 000 lety vývoje lidstva. Tato překrásná a nesmírně nápaditá cesta od našich kořenů až k možné budoucnosti ve výsledku nabízí nejlepší variantu způsobu života na Zemi. Charles Foster by se dal shrnout jako praktičtější Yuval Noah Harari Kniha je rozdělena na tři části, které se věnují třem nejdůležitějším obdobím lidského vývoje: období tzv. mladého paleolitu, kdy lidé dosáhli behaviorální modernity, neolitu, kdy se usadili a začali domestikovat zvířata a rostliny, a osvícenství, kdy došlo k sekularizaci a mechanizaci vnímání světa. Práce v terénu byla různorodá: výzkum mladého paleolitu probíhal v lesích národního parku Peak District v hrabství Derbyshire, období neolitu autor zkoumal ve zrekonstruované neolitické osadě, na farmách a ve zpracovnách potravin ve Walesu, a osvícenství pak na vysokých školách v Oxfordu. Každá část nabízí informace o tom, kdo jsme, jak žijeme a jakým způsobem fungujeme v rámci společenství. Řekli o knize „Jako člověk je dílo zarostlého génia, který má neuvěřitelnou šířku záběru, používá humor s odvážným šmrncem, předkládá fantasticky originální argumenty a především píše s bezkonkurenční vnitřní odvahou. Je to jedna z nejzajímavějších knih, co jsem kdy četla.“ – Jay Griffiths, autorka knih Why Rebel? a Wild: An Elemental Journey „Od Charlese Fostera čtu všechno a tohle je zatím jeho nejodvážnější dílo. Tato kniha je historický výzkum, sbírka povídek, učebnice úvodu do humoru, svazek vědeckých prací a filozofické pojednání zároveň. To všechno zvládl Charles smíchat a podat s přílohou z náboženského vytržení a jezevčího trusu. V téhle knize najdete spoustu informací o tom, kdo jste, ačkoli jste o tom do teď nevěděli. Přečtěte si ji.“ ― Paul Kingsnorth, autor knihy The Wake „Kniha Jako člověk patří mezi nejoriginálnější průzkumy toho, kdo, co a proč my lidé jsme, které byly v posledních letech zpracovány. Charles Foster píše inspirativně geniálně, a s lehkostí. Ta kniha je dokonalá. Čím více lidí si ji přečte, tím lépe pro nás všechny.“ ― Larry Dossey, autor knih One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness a Why It Matters „Naprostá bomba. Z mého pohledu kniha roku. A nehledím na ni rozhodně jen tak v sedě, naopak stojím a mávám na všechny kolem, aby si všimli, co všechno nám tohle kouzelné a geniální dílo nabízí. V knize Jako člověk najdeme stovky věcí, které všichni nutně potřebujeme zjistit. Je navíc nesmírně dojemná a plná inteligence, sviští napříč stoletími a drží nás při tom pevně v zubech. Charles Foster nás na jejích stránkách vtáhne do tajemného neznáma. Abychom zjistili něco o budoucnosti, potřebujeme se vrátit po stopách naší dávné mysli. S tím se dá začít tady.“ ― Martin Shaw, autor knihy Smoke Hole: Looking to the Wild in the Time of the Spyglass „Fascinující kniha s neuvěřitelným záběrem a nesmírných rozměrů… Evoluce lidské mysli nás dovede ke spletitému vyšetřování, za jaké by se nemusel stydět ani Sherlock Holmes.“ ― James Crowden, autor cestopisu The Frozen River: Seeking Silence in the Himalaya Autor: Charles Foster Typ knihy: audiokniha, e-kniha, tištěná kniha Vydavatelství: Nakladatelství Audiolibrix Vazba: pevná vazba Délka audioknihy: 13:23 h Počet stránek knihy: 360 Původní název: Being a Human Audioknihu Jako člověk si můžete koupit v nejlepším obchodě s audioknihami Audiolibrix.

Soil has been described as the skin of the living world—vital, reactive, fragile and thin. Like our own skin, soil contains and protects a living, interdependent ecosystem that breathes, digests, and is finite in its ability to revitalize itself when harmed. In this rich, compendious story from our archive, author Jay Griffiths offers a love letter and a prayer to soil, marveling at the creativity and capacity of earthworms, fungi, and the pioneering water bear, soil-dwelling creatures who enable all other life. Jay looks frankly at how heavily we tread upon the land, describing the myriad threats to the health of the Earth's soil and inviting us to commune with soil from a place of reverence and gratitude. After all, she reminds us, soil is what turns the Earth's barren rock into the riotous life we know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's episode was inspired by Sean Salisbury. Sean was on one of my recent shows and described his experience of rescuing three dogs who were tied up in a garage and left to die. Joining me on today's show is Amanda Connors from Fosters and Paws and Dr Jay Griffiths of Gold Country Veterinary Hospital in Auburn. Both Amanda and Jay discuss some of the heart wrenching things they have encountered from animal abuse along with aggressive and abusive pet ownership. I start off the episode by playing Sean's comment's regarding rescuing the dogs and then Amanda and Jay provide their expertise on several issues regarding this topic. The episode ends with a nice footnote from Sean about adopting another dog before we end the podcast with Grant's Rant! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Testament - poet, theatre-maker and world-record-breaking human beatboxer, explores the meaning and power of the sounds we make between words, including sighing and laughing - with spoken word artist and writer Polar Bear (Steven Camden) , 'Wild' author Jay Griffiths, and poets Shirley May and John McAuliffe. Polar Bear presents a brand new commission for our series celebrating the BBC's centenary ('Something Old, Something New') which includes the sounds of his childhood home, John McAuliffe shares poems of deep sighs and his work inspired by the experiences of organ donors and recipients, Jay Griffiths lets us into the way our fellow creatures take pleasure in sound and the importance of wild sound to humans, and Shirley May explores the importance of breath in her work, and the role of the body in performance - something she teaches as artistic director of 'Young Identity' - the youth spoken word collective.

Jay Griffiths' writing has long explored the link between land, culture and our potential for connection, but her father's death during lockdown made this more vital than ever. Denied the comfort or closure of a funeral, Jay had to find other ways to connect, mourn and memorialise, and in this gentle, wide-ranging conversation she and Katherine talk about imaginary journeys, ritual and delving into a sense of place. Behind all of Jay's work is an ecological urgency, and a sense of grief for the life that we seem to be losing. Here, it's expressed through the idea of homelessness, both literal and metaphorical. But she also introduces us to the character of Nemesis, offering us a model for justice that might just see us through the next decades. Join the conversation!

Authors Jay Griffiths and Geoff Dyer are our guests for a discussion of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Annie Dillard was only twenty-nine when her first prose book was published in 1974; it went onto win the Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction the following year. To discuss this classic of observational nature writing and spiritual enquiry, we are joined by two writers making their Backlisted debuts: Jay Griffiths, the author of Wild: An Elemental Journey and Geoff Dyer, whose most recent book The Last Days of Roger Federer, featured on the Gormenghast episode. By coincidence, Andy has been reading Pages from the Goncourt Journals (NYRB Classics), a spicy, gossip-rich glimpse into 19th century French literary life which has a foreword by Geoff, while John immerses himself in the inner world of John Donne, through regular Backlisted guest Katherine Rundell's widely acclaimed biography: Super Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne (Faber).

“There is something in us,” legendary nature writer Jay Griffiths writes, “that detests the tepid world of net curtains … the chloroform world where human nature is well schooled, tamed from childhood on, where the radiators are permanently on mild and the windows are permanently closed.”Lost with her life and desperate to escape the confines of the modern world, jay set out on a journey to explore the world's wildest places. She would explore ice, earth, water, fire and air. It would take seven years and all her savings. She would sing with cannibals in the highlands of West Papua, drink ayahuasca with shamans in the amazon. She explored the frozen arctic with Innuits and the fire desert with the aboriginals of the Australia. Through her travels jay learned the wisdom of the indigenous people that call these elements home. She discovered how they shaped their culture and beliefs, and in time how they shaped her too. She was seeking wildness. She was following her ‘feral angel', listening to its call to take flight and reconnect with the wildness inside her.This is an incredible adventure, but it's also a fountain of near forgotten wisdom and a call to all us to listen to that ‘urgent demand in the blood' that urges us to take flight too. It is up to us, she says, to find what it is in the in the world that matches that wildness in yourself and to become that. This is a story for anyone that's ever crawled up the walls, stared out the window and dreamed of escape. This is a call to the wild. Highlights include:·       Take ayahuasca with shamans in the Amazon·       Walk naked and alone into the frozen wilderness of the Arctic·       Trek the highlands with the freedom fighters of West Papua, one of the most remote and least-visited places on earth·       Have dinner with cannibals ·       Find out how to apply the wisdom of the wild in our own lifeJay's book of this adventure is called ‘Wild: an Elemental Journey'. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of nature writing I have ever read and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Her latest book ‘Why Rebel?' is awesome too.

In our final episode we dive into the role art and culture play in cultivating long-termism at scale. Far from being window dressing, art and culture forms the operating systems of our world; it has the power to shift our collective identity.  Culture doesn't just reflect societal norms, it has the power to change, iterate and manifest new ones. We'll meet the artists, creators and curators who are using time as both their medium and their message, and explore the role of creativity in shifting us to a long-term society.Special thanks to the contributors to this episode, Brian Eno, Bridgit Antoinette Evans, Katie Paterson, Jeremy Lent, Anab Jain and Sherri Mitchell.Discover more about Brian Eno here.Find out more about the work of Bridgit Antoinette Evans and the Pop Culture Collaborative here.Discover Katie Paterson's work here and delve into the Future Library.Find out about Jeremy Lent's work including The Patterning Instinct here.Experience the work of Anab Jain and Superflux here.Find out about Sherri Mitchell's projects and writing here.If you want to delve deeper into Long Time ideas, here is a suggested reading list!NON-FICTION Deep Time Reckoning - Vincent IalentiFutureGen - Jane DavidsonTimefulness - Marcia BjornerudThe Precipice - Toby OrdPip Pip - Jay GriffithsThe Clock of the Long Now - Steward BrandThe Good Ancestor - Roman KrznaricDoughnut Economics - Kate RaworthSandtalk - Tyson YunkaportaThe Patterning Instinct - Jeremy LentThe War for Kindness - Jamil ZakiBraiding Sweetgrass - Robin Wall-KimmererUnderland - Robert MacfarlaneThe Oldest Living Things in the World - Rachel Sussman Sacred Instructions - Sherri MitchellFICTIONKindred- Octavia ButlerThe Parable Series  - Octavia ButlerThe Ministry for the Future - Kim Stanley RobinsonThe OverStory - Richard PowersMan V.

Whose imagination are we living in, and how does that feel?The last few years have highlighted the raw urgency of the struggle to ensure the future is not dominated by white-supremecy. But what do visions of an alternative future look like?This episode explores how historically, inequalities in the present have been projected into the future, both in terms of how the future has been portrayed, and how it comes to be realised.We look at the impacts of colonialism in the past, present and future, meeting the people changing this on the ground - from activists, to artists, to sci-fi fans. Whatever the future holds, it is in our hands. Paying attention to the patterns of our time reveals the importance of embracing and cultivating diversity now, and for the long time.Special thanks to the contributors to this episode, Alisha B Wormsley, adrienne maree brown, Safiya Noble, Jay Griffiths, Joshua Virasami, Annauk Olin, Lonny Avi Brooks & Ahmed Best Find out more about Alisha B Wormsley's work hereFind adrienne maree brown's most recent book, Grievers here, and listen to her Octavia's Parables podcast hereGet Joshua Virasami's book, How to Change it: Make a Difference, here and in all good local bookshops.Find Safiya Noble's book Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism here and in all good local bookshopsJay Griffiths's latest book How To Rebel, her book Pip Pip: A Sideways Look At Time and all her other brilliant works are available HERE and in all good local bookshopsHere more about Annauk Olin's work hereListen to Lonny Brooks' & Ahmed Best's The Afrofuturist Podcast here and find out more about the Afro-rithms from the Future game hereCREDITSThe Long Time Academy comes to you from Headspace Studios and The Long Time Project, and is produced by Scenery Studios.The series was created and produced by Lina Prestwood and Ella SaltmarsheProduced by Ivor Manley and Madeleine Finlay Executive producers at Headspace Studios are Ash Jones, Leah Sutherland & Morgan SelzerOriginal artwork by Mavi MoraisDesign by Loz Ives & Lewis Kay-ThatcherOriginal music, sound design and mixing by Tristan Cassel-Delavois, Scott Sorenson & Chris MurguiaEast Liberty news report clip courtesy of KDKA-TV CBS Pittsburgh

Where is the heart of climate denial in the UK? Who are the main individuals & organisations coming between the people and the policy progress we need to address the climate & ecological emergency? Questions like this led Writers Rebel to organize an action in a quiet, privileged street in the heart of London's parliamentary district. The Writers Rebel action in Tufton Street, No More Lies About Climate Change, has now gone down in Extinction Rebellion history. This episode chronicles that historic event. Compered by Mark Rylance and Juliet Stevensen, the line up was starry and included so many top literary and journalistic writers and thinkers that the podcast can only provide a selection. It includes speeches by Zadie Smith, George Monbiot, Jay Griffiths, Caroline Lucas, Chloe Aridjis, Toby Litt and Charlotte DuCann. It also includes the arrests of podcast presenter & Writers Rebel co-founder Jessica Townsend alongside philosopher Rupert Read for spraying ‘Lies Lies Lies’ on the white pillars of Tufton Street and pouring blood down the steps. The Tufton Street protest was organised in conjunction with Money Rebellion, which launches November 2020. Writers Rebel is organising its next event on the Remembrance of Lost Species Day. Tickets and more information about On The Brink can be found here at writersrebel.com/act. Correction: In the podcast Jessica refers to scaffolding poles. They were actually bamboo poles. | Extinction Rebellion has three demands. 1) Tell the Truth – Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change. 2) Act Now – Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025. 3) Beyond Politics – Government must create and be led by the decision of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice. | Presenters - Jessica Townsend and James Miller; Producers - Phil Smith and Jessica Townsend; Editor - Phil Smith; Theme Music - Mark Richards at Mutiny Studios with music by Punch Deck; Additional Music - Phil Smith

Marveling at worms, fungi, and the pioneering water bear, Jay Griffiths brings our attention to what dwells beneath our feet, inviting us to remember that soil is what turns the Earth’s barren rock into the riotous life we know.

Luke Jerram is that rare bird, a genuinely popular yet acclaimed contemporary artist. And he's obsessed with the moon. So he's made one: seven metres wide featuring 120dpi detailed NASA imagery, and he's taking it around the world. This is his story, as well as the moon's.. Every day Luke Jerram cycles to his studio across the river in Bristol and watches its dramatic changes. It has the second highest tidal range in the world and it's the moon that makes this happen. Luke's become fascinated with finding out everything he can about the cultural, artistic and poetic significance of the moon, and the latest scientific developments around it. It both reflects our culture and inspires it. Being colourblind he's interested in all forms of light, and moonlight is fascinating and has very particular properties. The fact we see 'the man in the moon' is a perceptual and optical illusion. But again, different cultures see different imagery - in China they see the Hare in the Moon. Luke presents his own story of making these works and hearing people's responses to them, woven in with the new soundtrack he's commissioned from composer Dan Jones. We talk to fellow contemporary moon obsessives James Attlee and Jay Griffiths, but it's all filtered through the very particular consciousness of one artist and his imagination, and the hard slog of his creative process. Producer Beth O'Dea.
