“I wasn't going to miss the podcast just because I was slightly paralysed” - It's one of the better quotes we've had on the show! But it neatly sums up the unassuming yet unflappable nature of Dr Harry, who unless you were on a 12 month silent retreat in 2018, you'd know was the cave diving anaesthetist who helped in the against all odds rescue of the Wild Boars soccer team trapped in a flooded Thai cave. Dr Harry is in a unique position to talk about the art of risk taking, and it's something he's taken a keen interest in since that phenomenal rescue, especially how it relates to kids. In this episode Dr Harry very kindly shares with Hame his thoughts on teaching kids about risk mitigating rather than risk taking, building resilience and overcoming fear, on the generational changes in parenting that he's noticed and reflecting on what he might have done differently as a dad… it's a super wide ranging chat - one that we were so, so lucky to have… not least because a few days out from us recording with Dr Harry, he'd been diving down a very very deep cave and had a little run in with the diver's constant nemesis, the bends. Thankfully it all worked out OK! But I think you'll agree, it was some Gold Standard Guest Commitment to turn up to our humble podcast, for sure! --- Dr Richard Harris SC OAM & 2019 joint Australian of the Year (nice title, right?!) has got lots of great stuff going on... His 3 series podcast REAL RISK is awesome. It's got some amazing chats with people who manage some pretty massive risks (the saturation diving episode is so good) He's written a couple of great KIDS BOOKS on different ways to be brave and kind, called Alfie the Brave & Alfie the Kind. The book he and Craig Challen wrote AGAINST ALL ODDS about the cave rescue is also amazing AND very excitingly he's working on a feature documentary called Deeper, directed by Jennifer Peedom, produced by Stranger than Fiction and distributed by Madman. The film follows the story of Harry and his mates attempting a dangerous and unprecedented dive in a remote (and very deep!) NZ cave - it's out next year and we can't wait! — Now, if you DON'T want to take a risk with your next hire car (and who would), make sure you use our friends at HERTZ.

„Rzeki dają nam nie tylko wodę. Płyną przez nasze życie, tak jak przez wszystkie krainy na Ziemi. Ale odkąd potrafimy je okiełznać, czy nie przestaliśmy ich należycie szanować?” – pyta narrator monumentalnego filmu Rzeka, Willem Dafoe, przy akompaniamencie Australijskiej Orkiestry Kameralnej i muzyki zespołu Radiohead. W podcaście À propos rzek, polecając teksty kultury, opowiadam nie tylko o dokumencie autorstwa Jennifer Peedom.

Flyways is a visually stunning and emotionally enriching film about three different groups of endangered migratory shorebirds from around the globe. Each of these birds fly thousands of kilometers around the globe through migratory routes, traversing hemispheres and continents to reach breeding grounds. Often they will fly days without food or water. Directed and shot by Randall Wood, Flyways is a passionate film that presents parts of the avian species that are threatened by humanity alongside the many bird watchers and scientists who eagerly follow their journeys. These scientists use tracking devices and location data, and occasionally, if luck is their side, visual verification from humans, to monitor where the birds move. Flyways plays out like a blend between Travelling Birds and Jennifer Peedom's River and Mountain, acting as a plea for mankind to respect nature and to consider just how we impact the living world around us. With a soaring score by Cezary Skubieszewski, and gentle narration by Mia Wasikowska, Flyways is a soul-enriching film that deserves to be seen on the big screen. In this interview, Randall talks about the importance of capturing these images, how documentaries can be advocacy films, as well as the Q&A sessions that he's embarking upon throughout May and June across Australia.

Late 1800s naturalist John Muir once said "rivers flow not past, but through us." They blend land and water, carrying and supporting life; creating valleys in which humans grew the first food and set up the first cities. And yet we have not been kind in return. In the Drawing Room, Jennifer Peedom discusses her latest documentary, River.

Jennifer Peedom is a mountaineer and filmmaker who made my favorite documentary about the mountains. It's simply called Mountain. It's free for Netflix subscribers or you can rent it for $4 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2viG9XnS1g The Mountain documentary has four elements and Peedom hits a home run on all of them: Cinematography: Peedom sifted through thousands of hours of mountain footage to find the best of the best. We about how she used Renan Ozturk's stunning climbing footage for about 60% of the film. Music: The Australian Chamber Orchestra delivers music that will move you. Narration: William Dafoe narrates with his raspy, unique voice. Writing: The brilliant Robert Macfarlane explains our "revolution of perception" when it comes to mountains. His lucid writing captures the paradox of mountains and explains why we are attracted to something so dangerous. You can watch this interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euoQNBcwsaY Jennifer Peedom has also done 3 major feature documentaries: Mountain Sherpa Solo Peedom explains why you need a festival strategy to make it big. You need a good sales agent who can get you into Netflix and other major streamers. Peedom explains what errors documentary novices make. I ask Peedom how she's changed and evolved as a filmmaker. I loved Free Solo with Alex Honnold, but Mountain is more profound. Watch both. Spread the word. Sponsored by Health Access Sumbawa This show was sponsored by Health Access Sumbawa.

On this week's landmark 100th episode of the podcast, the artist-almost-known-as-Bebeny tells the true crime story behind her name. Then (14:07) we welcome to the centenary party celebrated writer (and walker!) Robert Macfarlane, author most recently of Landmarks (PenguinRandomHouse, 2015) as well as a frequent contributor to The Guardian. We start with how Rob got from his humble beginnings in 19th century Victorian literary studies to the marvelous entanglements of language and landscape that have been his muse and craft for many years now. Rob talks about his work to salvage the linguistic attentiveness to nature found in the cultures of Britain as well as his fascination of late with what happens when a rapidly changing climate outstrips our lexical resources. That leads us to “solastalgia,” the existential distress we experience through rapid environmental change and dwelling loss. And to Rob's landscape word of the day project which reveals a hunger for biodiverse terrain language. We ruminate on the “English eerie” as an alternative to the pastoral and how it impacts our peripheral vision of environmental disruption. We touch on the plastics crisis, apocalyptic dreams, shifting baseline syndrome, the gap between childhood and nature, and children as wondernauts. Rob tells us about his trip to the Onkalo nuclear waste storage facility in Finland, a structure devoted to the time scale of eternity, and the problem of communicating danger to future cultures. Then we share our encounters with ice, talk cryo-human relations and the true meaning of nostalgia. If you enjoyed this conversation, please check out Rob's new film, Mountain (dir. Jennifer Peedom, 2017), and his beautiful new children's book done together with Jackie Morris, The Lost Words (Hamish Hamilton, 2017), which we'll go ahead and call our official Cultures of Energy holiday gift recommendation.
