Although we can't see them with the naked eye, the Earth is populated by vast numbers of tiny living organisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. Collectively, these organisms are known as microbes, and they have existed on the planet for billions of years. But what role did they play in the origin of complex life, how have they stuck around for so long and how can they help us shape a healthier future for the planet? In this episode, we speak to science writer and author Peter Forbes about his latest book Thinking Small and Large: How Microbes Made and Can Save Our World. He tells us the role microbes played in the evolution of multicellular life, their deep importance to the world's ecosystems and how they may help us to produce the food, fuel and materials of the future.

With more than 70% of its surface covered in water, Earth is rightly known as the "blue planet". But where did this water - so essential to life - originate? While some theories suggest that hydrogen was delivered to Earth from space via asteroids, new research indicates that the building blocks for water may have been present on our planet all along. We chat to Tom Barrett from Oxford's Department of Earth Sciences to find out more.

In 2020, a NASA space probe (called OSIRIS-REx) gently touched down on the asteroid Bennu, some 200 million miles away, and collected rocks and gravel. It delivered that sample to NASA scientists on Earth in 2023. On January 29, 2025 two research papers were published describing their analysis of this asteroid material. It appears to contain some of the chemicals found on meteorites that have hit the earth in the past, but there were some surprises, too. Like the presence of salt crystals that indicate there was water on the asteroid sometime in its past. Basic chemical building-blocks of life were also discovered on Bennu, so we discuss the implications of this on theories about how life first evolved here Earth. Here are links to the two papers: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08495-6 and https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-024-02472-9. ‘Bench Talk: The Week in Science' is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.

We are living through the death of democracy and the onset of Techno-Feudalism.  But this is not a time when linear systems can hold and feudalism was nothing if not linear. So how can we be part of a transformative process that will let us lay the foundations for a future we'd be proud to leave behind?Usually, on Accidental Gods, we talk to guests who seem to exemplify some aspect of the generative edge of interbecoming change that will take us towards the emergent future we need if we're not only to survive, but thrive.  But once in a while it's just Manda, reflecting on the moment and offering pointers to things that might be useful to read or watch or listen to or think about. This is one of those, and it feels timely, in part because the Oxford Real Farming Conference too place recently and was immensely heartening - and partly because of the times we're in. This was recorded on Sunday 19th of January 2025 and if you're in the English speaking world listening to this podcast, then you'll be aware that basically democracy dies tomorrow. Though, as you'll also be aware, we never had true democracy of the people by and for the people, and certainly nothing that might have created a generative enhancement of the web of life. We had a kleptocracy at best, a kakiocracy at worst and all of it was working against the kind of  future we want to leave as our legacy. So this is a podcast of ideas, most of which boil down to: It's time each of us committed ourselves in service to life.  What does that feel like? How does it work and where will it take us?  Let's find out.  Oxford Real Farming Trust https://realfarming.org/programmes/land-based-wisdom/CFOSA https://consciousfoodsystems.org/Animate Earth Collective https://animate-earth.orgThe Wild with Indy Johar - the whyhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/wild-with-sarah-wilson/id1548626341?i=1000677521024Changing our Civilisational Model - Michel Bauens on Substack https://substack.com/inbox/post/155005488And then at the macro level, Dark Matter Labs on Governance https://media.licdn.com/dms/document/media/v2/D4E1FAQFRu6lmVVqBvw/feedshare-document-pdf-analyzed/B4EZQsP1m3HAAc-/0/1735909140676?e=1738195200&v=beta&t=8kAX6cLW_kf4Lsvw8dYn2_9FG644-bWKa6SZy1QTXKk

Since the discovery of the double helix by Francis Crick, James Watson and Rosalind Franklin in the 1950s, human knowledge of DNA and genetics has grown almost immeasurably. We now know that genes affect every aspect of our lives, from our appearance, our health and even our personality. But more than this, our genes are a living document of our evolutionary past, an ancient document that, if read properly, can reveal almost everything about how we came to be how we are. In this episode, we're joined by the evolutionary biologist and multi-million selling author Richard Dawkins to speak about his latest book The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie. He tells us how different species of animals hit on the same evolutionary strategies despite being separated by multiple continents, how natural selection doesn't necessarily always follow the perfect path and how a scientist of the future may one day be able to read the genetic code of any living animal like a book to uncover its entire evolutionary past.

This includes threats of violence against election officials and poll workers — just doing their job. It will be something that none of us have ever experienced before. Finally, the good news. The democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, and her chosen running mate Tim Walz, both have stellar environmental records which bodes well for the promise of essential American leadership in this Mother-of-all-Fights. And the best part: the critical role you can play in ensuring that we elect climate heroes dedicated to setting ambitious goals to reduce climate pollution.A Call to Act: The World's most Comprehensive Database of Eco-SolutionsVote for Earth Now: Getting the Green Vote Out The Environmental Voter Project

Does the world seem crazy because we're in an unusually tense time? Or is this just … life? Maybe it's a little bit of both.  On this episode, Bible teacher and author Jen Wilkin talks about the modern era in light of Revelation. She and Russell Moore talk about how the apocalyptic book has been misinterpreted and misused, how Christians can recognize when they have lost their first love, and the role of persecution in the life of the church. Their conversation covers the blessings of generations caring for one another, the hope of the new creation, and how the references to prior books of the Bible seen in Revelation might feel a bit like watching Shrek.  Resources mentioned in this episode or recommended by the guest include: Jen Wilkin Revelation: Eternal King, Everlasting Kingdom by Jen Wilkin Shrek  Do you have a question for Russell Moore?

The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planett

SHOWNOTESIn this second of three episodes in series, we are delving into what an unnatural force of nature, Donald Trump will be.  Worse than any fire, flood, or hurricane, for the future of our planetary systems, and also on human institutions that will have to deal with the magnitude of the consequences of his policies. That's a strong statement, but as evidenced in this episode: first we present Donald Trump's first, and hopefully only administration. Then we share the specific written plan that blatantly documents, in writing, how his new administration will upend everything green, including back-pedaling on most of our climate and ecological progress forged over decades. And finally, probably Trump's most lasting and deadly legacy — the “Trump Effect.” The toxic impact he had — and is having on US states and on other countries globally, including many of our staunchest allies in the global climate fight. Tis' frightful. It's all about the vote — which will be challenging enough. Click on the "Vote for Earth Now" link below to help push your own 'lefty' agenda.

The path of the psychedelic renaissance has largely touched on the aspects of therapy, personal growth, and initiation rites, but now, the relationship between psychedelics and creativity is being studied more and more. Can psychedelics really increase intellect, novelty, and problem solving? In this episode, Joe interviews Dr. Bruce Damer: astrobiologist with a long history of work at NASA, and now the president and co-founder of the Center for Minds, a new nonprofit researching the best ways to improve creativity and problem solving. He talks about how we're losing our best creative minds to hyper-specialization, and while there is lots of research pointing to psychedelics as creativity-enhancers, we need to develop frameworks and protocols to be able to measure exactly how that works, and the best ways to encourage better results. The Center for Minds is sponsoring research while running its own three year project studying creativity in a naturalistic setting, and aims to answer: How do we unlock more genius? What's the main driver for novel thinking? He discusses: His path to psychedelics, including his time with ‘endo-tripping': training his mind to trip without any external substances The importance of adding ‘set up' to set and setting, representing one's intentions and preparatory work up until that point The tale of his extraordinary ayahuasca experience where he journeyed together with Mama Ayahuasca all the way to the beginning of life on earth His theory on the real origin of life, and why the ‘survival of the fittest' framework shouldn't be our North Star The absolute necessity of mentorship from elders and more! The steps the Center of Minds will take in studying psychedelics and creativity will largely be steered by people's personal stories, so please share yours with them by filling out their survey.
