Speakers: Clare Press, Gab Murphy and Megan O’Malley Vogue Australia's Sustainability Editor-at-Large, respected fashion journalist and author Clare Press brings her popular "slow fashion" podcast Wardrobe Crisis to a live recording at the Planet Talks! The WARDRODE CRISIS Podcast decodes the fashion system and digs deep to explore fashion’s effects on people and planet. Sitting down with Clare are intrepid documentary makers Gab Murphy and Megan O’Malley of "Walk Sew Good" to investigate the impact of our modern fashion consumption habits. These two intrepid explorers walked 3500km across South East Asia to find and document positive stories they hope will change the way people see, value and talk about fashion.
"By walking, we connect with the Earth" - Satish Kumar. Towards the end of 2016 two friends from Melbourne, Megan O’Malley and Gab Murphy went out for a walk. A year later, they made it home. Calling themselves Walk Sew Goodthey went on a epic adventure - walking 3,500 kilometres through Souh East Asia to collect and share stories from some of the people who make our clothes. They met with and interviewed more than 50 different people and organisations, made videos and wrote a blogs - and made friends. When they set out, Meg was a fashion fan, Gab not so much. How did they change, and what did they learn? And what's it really like to walk for 8-hours every day? This show was recorded live at the Planet Talks at the WOMADelaide festival, and it's the first of a Series of 4 Episodes celebrating Fashion Revolution Week, featuring stories about #whomademyclothes and how we can fashion a more sustainable fashion future.

"Trust Women and Repeal the 8th Amendment!" In this week’s Sparking Change With Dil, we are discussing the Repeal of the 8th Amendment: What we know; what we don’t know and (Spoiler Alert!) The 8th Amendment is not just about Abortion! We are joined by some of those at the frontlines of the debate around the 8th amendment, and we discuss the way in which the amendment affects us all, regardless of our ethnic, social or religious background, and most importantly, what the 8th amendment actually is! In our first segment we have, Ailbhe Smyth, who has been at the forefront of social issues as a campaigner for LGBTQ+ rights, and the Repeal movement, to tell us how the movement has changed since the 1970s! Then Lucy Peprah of AIMS Ireland, Claudia Gichuhi of Migrant and Ethnic-minorities for Reproductive Justice (MERJ), Emily Waszak, one of the co-organisers of Strike 4 Repeal, and Jane Xavier of the Au Pair Rights Association will be with us to discuss the pressing issues surrounding maternal healthcare facing migrant women in Ireland, as we reflect on the death of Savita Halapanavar, and Malak Thawley. Finally, we speak to actor and writer Megan O’Malley about her new play ‘Home’, in which a young woman is put on trial when a Tinder date results in an unexpected pregnancy.
