Main interview guest: Natalie Bennett - Green Party Peer, Baroness Bennett of Manor CastleExpert co-host: Michael Mattle - Head of Wastewater Technology at Holinger We're exploring how biocides – human-made chemicals that we find in products like surface cleaners and toothpastes – are impacting the microbiomes in our bodies and our environmental systems. In 2025 Green Party Peer, Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle, Natalie Bennett, brought a private members bill to Westminster to regulate the use of these chemicals in consumer products intended for human consumption. We hear what Biocides are, where we'll find them and why Natalie is pushing for a legislative change to regulate their use. Co-host Michael Mattle, Head of Wastewater Technology at Hollinger reflects on what happens to these chemicals after use when they're released into the environment and explains how Switzerland has radically changed their approach to wastewater treatment, pushing beyond EU standards, to remove these types of chemicals.SponsorsPlanet Possible is grateful to Mackley, Business Modelling Applications & MWH Treatment for their support.Show NotesYou can read more about Natalie's thinking in her latest book - Change Everything.Hear more on the specifics of Lake Geneva from Michael Mattle in this Guardian podcast.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm taking a moment to reflect on the powerful conversations had on the podcast so far this year—with the team behind Sugar Dumplin', Natalie Bennett, Diana McCaulay, and Malene Barnett. What started as individual interviews became something more—more clear and focused themes around cultural preservation, identity navigation, and evolving expressions of Caribbean-ness.I explore how these episodes other others from the podcast's catalog, show how storytelling, art, legacy, and even everyday conversations with our elders become vital acts of preservation. I also reflect on how my own relationship with Jamaican culture has evolved over the years, especially as a parent, and how we make room for both tradition and change.This episode is a love letter to 10 years of Carry On Friends, but more importantly, it's an invitation to explore where we're headed next—togetherSubscribe to the Newsletter Support How to Support Carry On Friends Join the Community:Sign up for one of our paid memberships to access "The After Show", early episode releases, exclusive content and connect with like-minded individuals.

In this episode we look back at some of the highlights from previous podcasts we have made, focussing on some of the biggest names we have interviewed. You will hear from journalist and campaigner George Monbiot, the Green Party peer and former party leader Natalie Bennett, Olivia Ferdi who is co-founder of the drinks brand TRIP, and David Nabarro who is a member of the steering committee for the UN Global Crisis Response Group on Food, Energy, and Finance. Many of the conversations we re-visit focus on sustainability in the food industry, how are doing and some ideas on how we can improve things. The Food Matters Live podcast is taking a short break over Chrtistmas, but we will return in January with brand new content for 2025.

How can we achieve total systemic change? And are there politicians anywhere who are ready to make it happen (in a way that supports the continuation of complex life on this planet, not the scorched-earth destruction of the right)?The short answer is that yes, there are people deeply embedded in politics who know how dire things are and that we need urgent change. One of these is Natale Bennett, former Green Party leader and now Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle, one of two Green Party members of the UK's House of Lords. She is also the author of the book Change Everything: How We Can Rethink, Repair and Rebuild Society, which was published by UnBound in 2024.Her thesis is that what has been called political common sense over recent decades—that greed is good, inequality doesn't matter and we can keep treating the planet as a mine and a dumping ground—has been a recipe for disaster. The ideology of neoliberalism has delivered poverty and destruction, with a few benefiting while the rest of us pay. We need urgent change - and we have the routes to do it. Many ideas and arguments in this book have been inspired by the people she has met around the UK. Every idea in it has been road-tested, honed by interaction. We can only get through this dangerous stage by relying on the collective ingenuity, talents and creativity of millions of people, all empowered to “do politics”. This book aims to synthesise the voices Natalie has heard and read –and encourage them to step forward. They collectively represent true common sense.That's why she chose to publish it with Unbound using crowdfunding. You can order it through them, or it should be in your local bookstore.

Professor Christine Parker (pictured) last month lectured about "Nudge versus Sludge: The Great Greenwashing and the Failure of Corporate Regulation". And then, coincidently, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) carried a story on its Radion National program, Breakfast, in which corporations were "walking both sides of the street" about alcohol control in the story; "Domestic violence experts criticise NRL for partnership with DrinkWise". The Greenpeace 20-minute movie, "Journey for Justice", follows law student and activist Anjali Sharma as she travels across the Pacific on Greenpeace's iconic ship, the Rainbow Warrior, to hear from those most impacted by climate change. The inspiring new documentary by Greenpeace Australia Pacific showcases how powerful activists across the globe are using the law to hold big polluters to account. Finally, we go to The Green Institute to listen to a webinar hosted by Executive Director, Tim Hollo, who talked with Natalie Bennett about her new book, "Change Everything" during an event "Change Everything – Natalie Bennett on her new book on transformative Greens politics, with guest Christine Milne". Although Tim was reluctant to use its name, "Change Everything" was available from the company whose name began with "A" - my digital copy came from "A".

in this second election special, we talk to Natalie Bennett (or Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle if we're going to be forma - but she said we didn't need to be) - one of two Green Party members in the House of Lords. Natalie is author of the Book 'Change Everything: How we can rethink, repair and rebuild society' - one of the essential books of our time that outlines in detail how we can create the total systemic change we need. Natalie will be back in the autumn to discuss this in more detail, but in the meantime, we had a broad, deep conversation on the UK election - where it's going, where it could go and how each of us can help move a progressive, radical, thoughtful, compassionate, useful, climate-and-meta-crisis-aware agenda so that an incoming government will listen to us. As she says, 'The Tories are Toast', but there's still a lot we can do to elect as many Green MPs as possible.

Natalie Bennett sits in the House of Lords, the upper house of the UK Parliament. She was leader of the Green Party between 2012 and 2016, and is one of only two Green Party peers in the Lords. It is a far cry from where it all began. Natalie was born in suburban Sydney to teenage parents and was the first in her family to go to university. After gaining a degree in Agricultural Science, she went on to have a successful career in journalism before moving into politics in 2006, and leading the Greens during the 2015 General Election. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, we learn more about Natalie's rise to the top of British politics, how a family tragedy had an “indelible” impact on her, why she is so driven to affect change in the world, and what she thinks needs to change in the food industry to ensure a more sustainable future.

On this week's News Roundtable episode, Chris Wright CBE is joined by Green Party peer and former leader Natalie Bennett, Liberal Democrat Councillor Jake Short, and Labour Councillor Frankie Leach.The conversation kicks off with a review of the coronation and constitution, discussing the police arrests of peaceful protesters. Turning to the local elections: we hear from representatives from Labour, the Liberal Democrats, and the Greens, who are jostling for Tory votes in the leadup to the general election. Will Labour have to go into a coalition to get into government? Will tactical voting come into play? The Greens are growing exponentially; the Lib Dems are back from the ruins of Nick Clegg's damaging time in coalition with the Tories. Does Labour have what it takes to secure a majority?This opens up the debate on whether we should have proportional representation, which would benefit the Greens and Lib Dems in particular, but would the gain in progressiveness be worth the risk of extremism? The panel discusses whether the electorate has become more or less progressive and remarks on the generational divide. Was Brexit a result of people for decades feeling their vote doesn't count?Chris takes the conversation to the Conservative's inflammatory populist political stance on immigration, which materialises into a discussion of each party's position on Brexit and Britain's relationship with Europe going forward.

Should we go back to a world before civilisation? Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesWith high rates of infanticide, senicide and disease, not many of us pine for the era before human civilization, farms and nations. Yet anthropologists Yuval Harari and Jared Diamond have called the agricultural revolution a"trap"and humanity's "worst mistake”, arguing hunter gatherer life was more leisurely and free, as humans were not tied down to private property or oppressed by hierarchy.Is there a way to keep the benefits of industry and technology while also living as freely as our untamed ancestors? Should we go further and rewild to escape the status, hierarchy and oppression of civilisation? Or is this an impossible fantasy born out of a misunderstanding of anthropology and the idealistic myth of the ‘noble savage'?Paleobiologist Mark Williams, Conservative former cabinet minister Peter Lilley and former leader of the Green Party Natalie Bennett weigh in on civilisation as we know it.

A regenerative agricultural and environmental transformation depends upon a resurgence of localism - but localism is also championed by far right politicians who pronounce their own vision centred on a tough approach to immigration. How we can safeguard food systems in a more ecologically chaotic world with accelerating human migration? Can we find a popular but inclusive vision of national localism? ffinlo Costain is joined by Natalie Bennett of the Green Party of England and Wales, and by Sue Pritchard, the chief Executive of the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/farmgate/message

The HS2 Rail project has the official support of every mainstream political party in England and Wales bar one - The Green Party. It's also inspired a wave of non aligned environmental groups to set up protest camps along the route. That's some going for a scheme touted as part of the solution to meeting the UK government's zero net carbon commitment. So why do so many people who would broadly identify as 'green' stand against a rail network designed to take hundreds of thousands of cars and lorries off the road? Adrian Goldberg meets campaigners Victoria and Charlotte, who are concerned about the devastation wrought on a Warwickshire woodland by HS2. He also talks to Natalie Bennett who represents the Green Party in the House of Lords, and hears from Byline Times writer Stephen Delahunty.

This week, we are going to the UK! The UK government’s handling of Brexit and the health crisis has been undeniably chaotic and venal. In a bid to distract the public and shore up its own power, the government has sought to exploit cultural issues to the detriment of democratic rights and norms, putting already vulnerable groups further at risk. Green peer Natalie Bennett explains how this has led to an increasingly authoritarian turn against minority rights, civil liberties, and the rule of law.Written by Natalie Bennett.Read by Julia Lagoutte.Text version: https://www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/a-state-of-disrepair-democracy-in-the-united-kingdom/.This article is from our brand-new edition: Democracy Ever After?

Welcome to In the Room with me Ronnie Barbour. In this series we'll be talking to politicians, youtubers, sports stars and more about the defining moments of their lives. From the classroom, to the boardroom, the briefing room, the dressing room and more, we'll find out how the rooms of our lives shape the decisions we make. This time we're talking to Baroness Natalie Bennett, former leader of the Green Party between 2012 and 2016. She took the party to their best election results in the 2015 general election, but also failed to gain more than 1 MP, something that she puts down to the first past the post system. We'll hear the story behind the scenes of that infamous LBC "brain-fade" moment, how she sees the world of politics changing, and why she definitely doesn't want to be addressed as Baroness.

Ministers are under attack from their own side over reports that higher taxes and removing pension guarantees are under consideration to try to deal with the ballooning U.K. deficit. John Penrose, Conservative MP for Weston-Super-Mare tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing there are no easy answers for Rishi Sunak. And as the Green Party leadership contest ends, former leader Natalie Bennett says the party is still relevant and now needs to push its policies on clean air and universal income into the mainstream again.
Natalie Bennett, former Green Party leader (2012-2016) and current member of the house of Lords is a passionate advocate for many progressive political policies and in this interview we go over a wide range of topics and ideas, including; universal basic income, universal housing, reforming the lords, abolishing the monarchy and much more! On top of this we dive into her time as Green party leader her successes and failings as well as her new role as Baroness of Manor Castle, and her advocacy from in the House of Lords. @NatalieBen on twitter Join the Green Party here: https://join.greenparty.org.uk/ Follow @dutifulfuture on twitter

The vibrant debate around the question of basic income has all too often neglected a crucial aspect: gender dynamics. In a deeply gendered society, how might a basic income impact men and women differently? Could basic income be harnessed as a tool in the fight for women’s rights? Bringing a feminist perspective to the basic income discussion foregrounds a distinct set of concerns and virtues of the proposal. Natalie Bennett recalls the long 20th-century history of women’s struggles in the UK to make the feminist case for a universal basic income. Written by Natalie Bennett and read by Julia Lagoutte.

Can our economic, social, and environmental systems work so that the most responsible choices we make are also the easiest, cheapest, and most obvious? Often when we are faced with environmental or social problems, we find that changing our own actions can initially feel satisfying, but this can sometimes lead to a feeling that the difference we are making has little impact on the wider issues that we were aiming to resolve. Should we hold out hope for a cumulative effect, or do we need the wider mechanics of our society to alter to engender meaningful change? Or is waiting for society to change a way of absolving personal responsibility? Natalie Bennett, former leader of the Green Party, explores these question in this Agile Rabbit talk, followed by questions and bar-room discussion and socialising.
This week Femi was joined by a wide array of guests to discuss climate change and environmentalism. Joining him in the studio for the entire hour was writer Matthew Todd, who discussed how we are running out of time to tackle some of the huge issues effecting our planet. Also in the studio was actor and environmentalist James Fletcher, who spoke about his experiences as a vegan, whilst Labour MP Geraint Davies was on the phone to talk about what politicians are doing in practical terms. Finally, former Green Party leader Natalie Bennett joined the conversation.
Natalie Bennett discusses the hard-won gains and shortcomings of the British legislation banning micro-plastics in cosmetics, the deep-rooted place plastic holds in British lifestyle, and the path to a society no longer needlessly reliant on plastic.

Some policies which other parties are presenting as radical today in 2018 have been Green Party policies for a long time. This is a recording of a 2013 public meeting in Bath featuring Natalie Bennett and Molly Scott Cato talking about how the Green Party is the real alternative and presenting our radical manifesto for change. The meeting was held as part of the campaign for the 2014 European elections which saw Molly elected as an MEP for the South West. All of the points and topics discussed remain just as important today.

Brains Hidden in the back pages of a great collections of story and testimonial Delayed but not Denied vol 2 I found my guest and a winner in my Book Seller Challenge Natalie Brown Bennett this mother of 3 share a captivating true life tale of her pass marriages and what she learned and had to endure as a black American Women to mr. #1 was Irish, Mr. # 2 the son of a Senegalese religious leaders and then barely escaping with her life from husband #3. The is really a great story mixed with culture, truth and intridge
So this weeks episode is one that has taken me by surprise. We've been lucky enough to be granted time with one of the most gracious and astute politicians Natalie Bennett, former leader of The Green Party. We've also been joined by a Limehouse favorite Dawn Barnes who once again makes insightful and emotional points that carry serious clout. Do you have a few minutes? Feel free to share the show and get in touch via the mediums of social entertainment things and wiggly bits... @limehousepod thelimehousepodcast@gmail.com www.facebook.com/thelimehousepodcast It's a funny old thing really, i've decided to probably cease the show, bring it to an end, rest it's bones on the podcast shore in August of this year. God willing i'll be a Dad by then and I feel that i'll want a rest from the show. It's miles away yet so i'll be striving to get amazing guests for you. Its a heads up really. I've found it quite hard doing the show, emotionally. The editing and graft is fine, it's the general wall of silence the show receives and although I don't expect hundreds of emails more than five in over a year would be good. It's also the unbelievable amount of competition out there which makes it frankly rather impossible to see exactly where this show can ever get a true growing audience. I'm proud so far of the conversations I've had and the panel discussions on top of that but I can't carry on doing this when I get no support from the people that listen to it, save for a handful of truly lovely people. Steve Little in particular, a man I haven't even met but one that shares the show and offers encouragement. A show has to be about the people that listen to it and i'm not sure i know who those people are. The total saturation of podcasts means that people move from show to show not really thinking about the effort and sacrifice that goes into bringing people rather great conversations. I work a full time job and bust my balls to get interviews and it really is starting to fee a little like a waste of time given the absolute nothing that greets me. I am aware of how that makes me sound but I feel like it is a rather human response. I have also been in the annoying position of believing people will help me, with the show, and all it leads to is nothing. I've learnt so much of what people say and what they actually do are two very separate things. Simple help and a sense of gratitude is also something I've never found. All most hosts ask for is the very basic in return as to be honest the entire industry is swamped by either NPR or BBC shows or celebrities turned podcasters. It's gutting to feel this way because I did feel not so long ago that this was something for the long term. I thank those of you that have been kind enough to support me and the show along the way. I won't be banging on about this every week, I just thought i'd get it out there now because it's been on my mind so much and it's been making me really miserable. Anyway, back to the weeding.

"Social Media and Modern Communication" Now that we're able to communicate with each other instantaneously from thousands of miles away and in different time zones, have we become better as a result? Are we slowly forming more meaningful communities around shared ideals, or have we simply drifted apart as islands of individualism and narcissism? Does social media promote the democratization of information and ideas, or is it simply controlled by players who have the right culture, language, and power?

Die Debatte um den Brexit polarisiert Großbritannien. Nach dem Anschlag auf eine Labour-Abgeordnete steht das Land unter Schock. Cambridge Student Ben Gallant ist EU-Befürworter und versucht mit seinen Aktionen Sachlichkeit in die aufgeheizte Debatte zu bringen.
Joining the conversation in Episode 10 of Version 3.0 is Natalie Bennett, the leader of the Green Party. We covered an array of topics including Natalie’s involvement in the Brexit referendum, her recent decision to step down as party leader and how she became a feminist at the age of 5. On all subjects, Natalie was a fascinating guest who we'd happily have chatted with all evening.
It's podcast time again, gang! Only yesterday we found ourselves unable to record this week due to the old technical difficulties, so instead we present half an hour of NEVER BEFORE HEARD bits and pieces from the Verbal Discharge archive! This week, only Robbie is really present, but you can also hear Jordan wait for Natalie Bennett, Ben forget how to use a microphone, James speculate on what Mel Gibson's up to. All this and a few more bits and bobs, carefully curated from everything we've ever recorded without putting on the podcast.
The leader of the Green Party Natalie Bennett, who's to stand down, had lunch with Becky Milligan last year. She talks about losing her mother, being leader, and moving on.
Matt Chorley is joined by The Times' Head of News Fay Schlesinger, Anthony Wells from YouGov and Chief Political Correspondent for The Times, Michael Savage. Fay Schlesinger: A drive to weed out and punish Universities that deliver poor-quality teaching is a step forward as higher education becomes bigger and more expensive. But let's not allow the system to become homogenised. Everyone remembers their scatty professor who dispensed with notes to launch into an off-topic spiel that left the hungover students enthralled and inspired. The Government's University reforms must improve standards and choice, and allow bad institutions to fail… but let that professor survive. Anthony Wells: Young people, who don't vote, back Remain, old people, who do vote, back Leave. So If turnout is low, Leave stands a better chance with only the dedicated older voters turning out. Or so the consensus goes. Except it's more complicated than that: the middle classes and well-educated are also more likely to vote. And they...

The Green Party of England and Wales were formed in 1990. They won their first parliamentary seat in 2010. They hit record election figures in 2015, receiving 1.1 million votes. But, in 2o16, they entered he big leagues. In 2016, Green sent their party leader, Natalie Bennett, to appear on Verbal Discharge...We've made thirty-eight episodes before now, and they've mostly been nonsense. This week that's probably especially true, but in the middle of it all we were honestly, really joined by the leader of Green Party, Natalie Bennett. She genuinely came on the show, and we quizzed her in typical Discharge fashion: Children's TV, flop-haired troglodytes, even a certain chancellor's particular recreational habits. This is probably the only time you'll ever hear an adult man try to goad a national party leader into doing a Daffy Duck impression. If that's not reason enough to listen, surely nothing is...We do have a few other things going on this week (Academies! Rap battles! Basketball! Jordan's remarkable Nigel Farage impression!), but I think you'll forgive us for being focused on the green, green guest of home.
Following up on the event 'Refugee Crisis: Perceptions, Realities & Solutions', Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green Party, holds an in-depth discussion with SOAS radio concerning her views on the refugee 'crisis' and the actions that Britain should be taking.

Raising a child is said to be one of the most rewarding experiences anyone can hope for - watching a little human grow into adulthood, overcoming life's challenges and reaching important milestones. But, imagine if you were permanently denied this privilege on account of your sexual orientation? On what grounds should same sex couples be prohibited from raising children? The Yardie Skeptics are yet again breaking new ground this Sunday, August 23rd at 12:30pm EDT (11:30am Jamaica time) as we do our first exposé on same sex parenting. What are some of the challenges same sex couples face when they decide to become parents? Do children raised in same sex households turn out as "normal" as other children? Joining us live on air will be one same sex couple - partners Christopher Inniss and Shelton Stroman - and three other same sex parents - Judith Williams, Natalie Bennett, and Nigel Simon to round out our full house on this discussion. Join us for this first ever exploration of the highs and lows of same sex parenting!
Ten years ago Jill Fraser stood in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency as the Lib Dem candidate. It was said she gave Labour a bit of a scare. She’s back again with another attempt to take the seat held for more than thirty years by Frank Dobson, who’s retiring. She spoke to our reporter Ann Carroll about her political beginnings, her determination to represent the local community even if that puts her at odds with her party, and fish and chips. The full list of candidates is: Natalie Bennett, Green Party Will Blair, Conservative Party Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party Shane O’Donnell, Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol David O’Sullivan, Socialist Equality Party Maxine Spencer, UK Independence Party Keir Starmer, Labour Party Package by: Ann Carroll Interview with Will Blair :: Conservative Party Candidate Interview with Keir Starmer :: Labour Party Candidate Interview with Natalie Bennett :: Green Party Candidate Back to Camden Community Radio :: Follow Camden Community Radio on Twitter :: File Download (15:28 min / 14 MB)
The political profile of the Green Party has been rising sharply, not least in Camden where its Leader, Natalie Bennett, is standing as a prospective parliamentary candidate in Holborn and St Pancras. The seat’s been held by Labour’s Frank Dobson for more than 30 years but he’s now standing down. The constituency is on the Green’s list of its top 12 targets and Natalie Bennett says she’s going all out to win it. She took some time from the campaign to speak to Camden Community Radio’s reporter, Ann Carroll. The full list of candidates is: Natalie Bennett, Green Party Will Blair, Conservative Party Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party Shane O’Donnell, Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol David O’Sullivan, Socialist Equality Party Maxine Spencer, UK Independence Party Keir Starmer, Labour Party Interview with Jill Fraser :: Interview with Keir Starmer :: Interview with Will Blair :: Back to Camden Community Radio :: Follow Camden Community Radio on Twitter :: File Download (16:47 min / 15 MB)
Next year’s General Election will mark a watershed for Camden as the long serving Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson, will be retiring. His party have yet to announce who will take his place as candidate, but the Conservative Party have chosen theirs. Will Blair is already busy campaigning while holding down a full time job. He took time out of his schedule to come into our studio and talked to Ann Carroll about his fondness for Camden, his background, handling social media and the threat from Ukip. She began by asking him why he was standing.

There’s a new Labour Candidate in Town. After more than thirty years as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson is standing down and the party has chosen Sir Keir Starmer to fight the seat. He’s a Barrister, specialising in Human Rights issues and was Director of Public Prosecutions for five years before leaving the post in 2013. Camden Community Radio caught up with him at Labour’s local office where he spoke about tackling the constituency’s problems, lowering the voting age and how he doesn’t like being called SIR Keir – “It’s Keir” he insists.

Green party leader Natalie Bennett’s "excruciating" interview hit the headlines this week. For more auspicious reasons, so did president Obama and his Keystone veto. But are we putting too much stock in the actions of our leaders? Can the planet ever be saved by powerful individuals? Also this week, vaporising birds, burger tossing scientists, and a star turn from Ol’s five year old niece. Sustainababble is a weekly podcast for and by greeny types who don’t really know what’s going on. It comes out every Monday. Music by Dicky Moore from Bearcraft.

It has been quite a week for people, including politicians, to say incredible things. Whatever it's the stars of "Meet the UKippers", through to Jack Straw, Malcolm Rifkind, Natalie Bennett; everyone had something to say. Lesley also thinks Scotland needs to become a participatory community focussed democracy and explains why.
After a rocky campaign launch, the Green leader Natalie Bennett has been in the headlines this week. Mark Coles hears how she moved from journalism in provincial Australia to British politics, and has combined a love of cricket with feminist campaigning. How is she likely to fare amid the intense scrutiny of the coming election? Producer: Chris Bowlby.
This week, James and Colin cover Madonna falling, the blue/black or white/gold dress (IT'S BLUE!!!), Natalie Bennett's carcrash radio interview, dancing lollipop men being banned, Kim Kardashian's bum, songs used by the CIA for torture and music from awesome band Culann.
Next week sees the last ever episode of Radio 4's long running investigative series Face the Facts. Radio 4 says it's part of an ongoing effort to cut costs. Presenter John Waite recounts his most memorable moments during his 30 years on the frontline of investigative journalism. The Green Party was hoping to launch their election campaign in a blaze of positive publicity earlier this week. But after leader Natalie Bennett experienced what she called an "excruciating mind blank" in an interview, the story took a very different direction. The BBC ran the story throughout the day - but was this too much coverage of Bennett's 'brain fade' at the expense of serious analysis of party policy? Katy Searle, the Editor of Political Newsgathering for BBC News, explains why the story deserved its airtime and place on the news agenda. And while the rest of the BBC is giving up on broadcasting children's radio, BBC Radio Cymru has launched Tic Toc, a new programme aimed at a younger audience. Can Radio Cymru find success where others have failed? Head of Radio Cymru, Betsan Powys, explains what makes her venture different. Producer: Will Yates A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

This week, UK broadcasters announced plans for televised election debates between the leaders of the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties, plus Ukip's Nigel Farage - but there was apparently no room for Green party leader Natalie Bennett. In an interview with the FT's Barney Thompson, Ms Bennett explained why the Greens deserve to be heard in the TV debates. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
If you're going mad watching the full-on Britnat assault on all channels now, here's a wee antidote.For the 90th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke to Zara Kitson, from Green Yes and National Collective.We talked about the campaign entering its final phase and the difference in how the two campaigns have been conducted.I asked about Green Yes and what they have managed to during the campaign.Farage is going to get a lot of coverage when he comes up, but when Natalie Bennett, who is the leader of the Green Party in England & Wales - which actually does have an MP, came up to support Independence, it passed almost without mention? Why so?Finally, as ever, I asked my guest their personal reasons for supporting Scottish Independence.Hope you enjoy…
As part of our month on 'Transition and Politics', we talked to Natalie Benn, Leader of the Green Party.
What's the deal with "moderate" Christians? They distance themselves from the conservatives by claiming that they're not ideologically driven and instead support liberalism, but enable the fundamentalists by either keeping silent or failing to push back against Christian hegemony. You will never see them engage in acts of public buffoonery such as "love marches", but they hardly command any consistent intellectual real estate in public or social media. So, what is really the purpose behind calling oneself a moderate Christian? Do they only "moderately" support the batshit crazy ideas of the Christian left, or are they entirely secularists in their ideological outlook? On this episode we turn the spotlight on the moderate/progressive Christians. Joining us live Natalie Bennett who describes herself as a Christian but one who does not support all of the ideas, Sharon Stephenson who is a moderate Christian, and Postmodernnegro, who describes himself as a "Christian anarchist."
ust when you thought the debate over fracking couldn't get any more heated, the Telegram has crammed Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green Party, into a small studio with James Delingpole.
