This guest was someone I was equal parts terrified and excited to speak with. Steve Backshall is one of my literal heroes, and I still can't believe he said yes to being on the podcast. You may know him as the presenter of The Deadly 60, Lost Land of the Tiger, or Lost Land of the Jaguar. He's an explorer, naturalist, scientist, presenter, writer, and so much more. In this episode, he shares: • How his childhood prepared him to be confident in adventuring• The dumbest thing he did in his early days of adventuring• His favourite place he's visited• His scariest experience• How he prepares for his remote explorations• The clear signs of climate change he's seen over the years• His opinion on palm oil and why he believes we need some palm oil• A pressing conservation issue we're not talking about enough• His suggestions for how we can help the environment• The importance of picking your battles in environmentalism• Why he thinks it's hard to get people on board with climate change Key Quotes“We are having so many problems with the simple storytelling aspect of climate change.” “With young people, if you can get them excited about an idea, they get empowered, they get enthusiastic, and they are unstoppable.” More about Steve Backshall Check out his website, his live shows and his instagram.

Why do we read John Keats and not one of his well-regarded peers? Why do some authors disappear into the sands of time - while others, virtually unknown in their day, become posthumous household names? In this episode, Jacke talks to Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein (How to Become Famous: Lost Einsteins, Forgotten Superstars, and How the Beatles Came to Be) about the phenomenon of fame, with a particular emphasis on how it affects the world of literature. PLUS author and TLS managing director James MacManus (Love in a Lost Land) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he'll ever read.

If ever there was a need for a single definition of the novel's function, it may well be to establish an architecture around characters that leads them directly to unique moral quandaries. These shorts of choices are ultimately what drives some of the greatest novels. And what better framework than war to create situations that lead characters towards real perplexity? After all, it consists of two sides fighting for what both believe to be right, with outcomes involving ruin, destruction and death. Now throw in the fact that the novel may or may not be based on true events, perhaps embellished by the novelist's pen but ultimately rooted in history, and you find that the membrane between fact and fiction becomes very porous indeed. My guest today is the novelist James MacManus who is a former journalist, a correspondent for the Guardian in Africa and the Middle East. Currently, he's also the Managing Director of The TLS (The Times Literary Supplement), an august weekly literary review. During his time in Africa, he covered the Zimbabwe War for Independence, and his sixth novel “Love in a Lost Land”, is based on these experiences in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, at a time of guerrilla warfare. It's a very authentic read which looks at both sides of the conflict and features a love story that bridges those factions. The setting brings to life the work of a journalist in a perilous environment and the plot created moral quandaries that were reminiscent, to me, of Graham Greene novels. A list of books mentioned in the interview: Favourite Book That I've Never Heard Of: “Love Lessons” by Joan Wyndham Best Book That James Read in the Last 12 Months: “A Moveable Feast” by Ernest Hemingway The Book That He Finds Over-Rated: The works of William Faulkner The Book That He Would Take To A Desert Island: “The Rattle Bag”, an anthology of poems compiled by Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes The Book That Changed His Mind: “Kon-Tiki” by Thor Heyerdahl
This episode takes our listeners on a remarkable journey into the tumultuous period of the 1970s in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, as seen through the lens of James McManus, the former Africa correspondent for The Guardian. McManus was not just a journalist chronicling events from the periphery; he was in the thick of it, engaging with pivotal figures who would shape the course of the nation's history.In an era marked by political upheaval, civil strife, and a tug-of-war for power, McManus met the staunchly pro-white minority rule leader, Ian Smith. His insights into this enigmatic figure shed light on the psyche of a leader desperately clinging to the vestiges of colonial rule. Equally compelling is his account of Robert Mugabe, the charismatic anti-colonial leader, whose transition from liberator to dictator left an indelible mark on Zimbabwe.Yet, McManus' narrative is not limited to these towering figures. He delves into his encounters with a myriad of African nationalist leaders, painting a multi-faceted picture of a continent in flux, and a nation on the cusp of monumental change. Drawing from these rich experiences, McManus has penned his latest novel, "Love in a Lost Land," a poignant tale that encapsulates the passion, peril, and paradoxes of this transformative period.Join us for a deep dive into an era that redefined the African continent, as told by an eyewitness who stood at the crossroads of history. Whether you're a history aficionado or simply intrigued by personal tales that mirror broader societal shifts, this episode promises a captivating listen.

In 1910, about 14 percent of U.S. farmers were Black, owning more than 16 million acres. Now, according to the latest Census of Agriculture, only one in 100 farmers is Black, owning less than 5 million acres. A new documentary explores how this happened, its lasting effect on Black families and their efforts now to reclaim their legacy. Filmmaker Eternal Polk joins John Yang to discuss.

The Amazon is in trouble—so are its people.Journalist Heriberto Araujo has been investigating the stories of the Amazon for over a decade. In his forthcoming book: Masters of the Lost Land. The Untold Story of the Amazon and the Violent Fight for the World's Last Frontier he presents a three-year investigation to uncover a widespread underworld of violence, corruption, and impunity that has delivered the riches of the Amazon to a ruthless elite. But in this true crime story, set against the backdrop of the towering Brazilian jungle and unfolding over five decades, not everyone surrenders to the power of guns and money. And that's what makes the story extraordinary.He joins me to tell the story of Maria Joel Dias Da Costa, the widow of murdered activist, José Dutra da Costa. Dezinho, as he was known, had rallied the rural worker's union against rampant corruption of wealthy landowners driving deforestation and death through the jungle. He died in the arms of his wife after being shot outside their home. Maria took it upon herself to continue her husband's work, confronting the political, economic and industry elites to save her home, family and community from these terrible forces.Heriberto goes on to discuss the fascinating connection between inflation and land-grabbing in the Amazon, explaining how many people take land to protect their interests in an unstable economic climate, before taking a wider overview of Brazilian politics and relationship with China, and the impact that may have on the climate fight in coming years.“There were many businessmen and wealthy families who saw opportunity and decided to move to the Amazon to expand dramatically the land that they could own. There are some cases which are shocking—some landowners had ranches, or claimed to have ranches, the size of Cuba or Honduras… “Maria Joel was a normal housewife with four underage children whose husband was murdered. She held her husband in her arms while he was dying. She had two choices. Either she simply move from the region, from this small town, and try to turn the page because she suspected that she would have to confront the economic and the political elite of the town. In one of those momentous situations of her life, she decided to stay in that town no matter the risk. What I found incredibly interesting from my book was exploring the feelings and the doubts and the controversies of a woman who would have chosen another life.” Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it.

This week - the final episode of Season 1, Storyshaped fans! - Susan and Sinéad are indulging themselves with a Deep Dive into one of the books that profoundly shaped both of them. We're discussing Susan Cooper's 1973 classic The Dark Is Rising, which is a book that Susan describes as being part of her soul.

In episode 155 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Gordon Buchanan. Gordon Buchanan is a Scottish wildlife photographer and filmmaker who has made documentaries for over 20 years. Gordon has made a number of wonderful, intense and thrilling films including: ‘Big Cat Diary', ‘Lost Land of the Volcano', ‘The Bear Family & Me', ‘The Polar Bear Family & Me', ‘Lost Land of The Tiger', ‘Lost Land of The Jaguar', ‘Leopard in the City' and ‘Tribes, Predators and Me'. In this episode we discuss how Gordon broke into the world of wildlife filmmaking, the life-threatening moments he has experienced whilst filming and the mental health impact of being away from his family for periods of time whilst filming. For Gordon's mental health, 10 years ago he had an epiphany about his mental health and realised he had a lot of mental health challenges as a child that he never identified or was aware of. In that year, he was approaching burnout but didn't recognise it before it arrived and it brought about a full-blown period of depression and what he describes as a ‘breakdown of sorts'. When Gordon has gone through these periods, he has used medication to help him get better before coming off of them and he has been on and off medication throughout the last 10 years. We finish by talking about Covid-19 and the reset that gave him for his mental health and his life, how he's achieved a greater level of self-awareness and reconciling people's assumptions about him.

Renowned environmental scientist, Professor Emma Johnston AO, the co-chief author of the 2021 Australian State of Environment Report and the University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) is joined by her co-authors to discuss key findings of the report and what is in store for our environment and wellbeing. The extreme weather events from the past few years have shown that our future depends on healthy rivers, forests, soils and seas, which is why it is crucial to understand exactly what is at stake. The State of the Environment (SOE) report, a five-yearly independent review, commissioned by the Australian Government, is a critical piece in the puzzle. Its independent analysis from a team of scientific experts, offers a clear framework on how to address the myriad environmental issues we face and the projected future of our environment. Professor Johnston is one of Australia's most distinguished environmental scientists, an elected fellow of both the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE). She also co-hosts the television series, Coast Australia, exploring the country's coastline. Also joining the conversation will be SOE co-authors Dr Terri Janke, a Wuthathi/Meriam woman and an international authority on Indigenous cultural and intellectual property; the chair of the Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute, leading environmental scientist, Dr Ian Cresswell; and Dr Sarah Hill, CEO of the Western Parkland City Authority. Moderated by Sydney Ideas Head of Programming, Fenella Kernebone. The 2021 SOE report is the first to include Indigenous co-authors and is the first to have a chapter explicitly focused on Extreme Events (bushfires, floods, heatwaves, droughts, storms). This Sydney Ideas event was held on Thursday 21 July, 2022 at the Charles Perkins Centre Auditorium, University of Sydney. To view the event page please go to this link: https://bit.ly/3PVt3C6

In England, 50% of the land is owned by just 1% of the population, but how did such a small minority come to control such a large amount of countryside? And what can we do about it? Guy Shrubsole, policy coordinator at Rewilding Britain and author of Who Owns England, chats to Nick Cohen about England's dark past when it comes to land ownership, and his manifesto for how to open up our countryside once again. “Land ownership is one of England's deepest, darkest secrets.” “50% of England is owned by just 1% of the population.” “Ultimately, we all should have a greater stake in who owns England.” “We think we live in a capitalist society, but we actually still have a lot feudalism.” “Such a vast area of our land is given to the sport of grouse shooting.” “To hold onto more red wall voters, something has to give on the issue of home ownership.” Presented by Nick Cohen.

Happy Women's History Month! In collaboration with Women's History Month Kingston, we continue the discussion of Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch. This week we're discussion Chapter 2, "The Accumulation of Labor and the Degradation of Women: Constructing 'Difference' in the 'Transition to Capitalism'" and it's myriad of topics including: Capitalist Accumulation and the Accumulation of Labor in Europe; Land Privatization in Europe, the Production of Scarcity and the Separation of Productions from Reproduction; The Price Revolution and the Pauperization of the European Working Class; The State Intervention in the Reproduction of Labor: Poor Relief, and the Criminalization of the Working Class; Population Decline, Economic Crisis, and the Disciplining of Women; The Devaluation of Women's Labor; Women: The New Commons and the Substitute for the Lost Land; The Patriarchy of Wage; The Taming of Women and the Redefinition of Femininity and Masculinity: Women the Savages of Europe; Colonization, Globalization, and Women; Sex, Race and Class in the Colonies; Capitalism and the Sexual Division of Labor. Next week, we dive into Chapter 3, "The Great Caliban: The Struggle Against the Rebel Body." Let us know your thoughts and questions!Who's in this conversation?Rakel Stammer is an artist and teacher who primarily works in painting and drawing, but also dabbles in sound, installation, collage, writing, photography, printmaking and performance. Her work has been published in several magazines, anthologies and journals across the world and she has exhibited in Denmark, Sweden and the U.S. She was on the show before, pre-COVID in October 2019, talking about her series “The C%#& (C-word) Drawings” completed during a residency at Deer Creek Collective. Rakel speaks publicly and writes about capitalism, art, trauma, dominance and violence, seen through an anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist lens!Carolita Johnson is a cartoonist (The New Yorker magazine) and illustrator from NYC. She spent 13 years in Paris, France, after graduating from Parson's School of Design with a degree in Fashion Design.

Support NY Caring Majority's efforts to increase the wages for home care workers. Call Senate and Assembly leadership and let them know that #FairPay4HomeCare is a win-win for all New Yorkers! Let us know once you make the call here: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfxBCAC.../viewform...Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, (518) 455-2585Speaker of the Assembly Carl Heastie, (518) 455-3791SCRIPT: Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I'm calling to urge [THEIR NAME] to include Fair Pay 4 Home Care in this year's one-house budget and ensure that home care workers receive a wage of at least 150% of the minimum wage. Because of the current low pay, New York is the center of a workforce shortage in this sector, with even more home care workers leaving the workforce in droves right when we need them most.

Dr George McGavin is a zoologist, entomologist and broadcaster, and currently serves as President for the Dorset Wildlife Trust. Best known for hosting documentaries including ‘Lost Land of the Volcano’, ‘Oak Tree: Nature’s Greatest Survivor’ and, most recently, ‘Ocean Autopsy: The Secret Story of Our Seas’, he is also well known to television viewers for his frequent appearances on BBC One’s ‘The One Show’. Sitting down to chat in post-lockdown June, in the heart of Windsor Great Park, David Oakes and George enjoy one of the first in-person meetups they’ve each had in months! George discusses how his stammer impacted his early life, how he was inspired by the likes of Aubrey Manning, and how he quit his much-sought-after tenured Oxford University position to chase a wildlife documentary making dream… (without telling his wife!) Covering insect biodiversity, mankind’s stubbornness to change, exploration of rainforests, and more, the topics covered here are as wide ranging as George’s documentaries, all shared with gleeful anecdotes, including his hope to delve deeper into the world’s faeces - but you’ll have to wait until the end for that particular ‘nugget’!For further information on this and other episodes, visit: https://www.treesacrowd.fm/dr-george-mcgavin/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jonny Keeling, producer of programmes such as CBBC’s Deadly series and CBeebies Andy’s Wild Adventures, talks to us about how to construct an engaging narrative in children’s television programmes, and where thinking about the story is key every step of the way from development to broadcast. He also discusses how important stories have become in online games and films, particularly with a more fickle young audience. Steve Greenwood was series producer for BBC Two's Natural World strand, a series of documentaries that focus on one single story over the course of an hour.

And Hazel Marshall, who teaches storytelling across the BBC and worked closely with the Natural History Unit, gives her take on why storytelling is important, outlines the process of finding a good story and offers some tips for programme makers. Jonny Keeling is the executive producer for children’s output at the BBC’s Natural History Unit.

His career credits include producing the Plains episode for Planet Earth, as well as episodes of Wildlife on One, Lost Land of the Volcano and Natural World. He was series producer on Lost Land of the Tiger, Lost Land of the Wolves and The Dark: Nature's Nighttime World, and was also assistant producer on Sir David Attenborough’s Life of Mammals. Before being series editor for Natural world, Steve Greenwood worked on several expedition series including Lost Land of the Volcano and Lost Land of the Jaguar.
