Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories that reflect on the beauty and vulnerability of the natural world. In “Joyas Voladoras,” by Brian Doyle, we hear the many different heartbeats of the natural kingdom.The reader is Becca Blackwell. And a talking fox has a lot to tell us about reading aloud, shopping malls, and fried chicken “Fox 8,” a darkly funny fable by George Saunders read by John Cameron Mitchell.  And we're joined by the mother/daughter book club we've featured on a couple of earlier episodes, which discusses “Fox 8,” at the end of the show.

On Nov. 2, a Palmetto man died after he was wrestled down and tasered by city police officers. It took state investigators more than three months to come up with conclusions. WSLR News has been following the case, and Bernadette Estrada-Brown has the story about the findings of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the community's reactions. Then: Last week, a judge in Washington issued a ruling that has the potential of slowing new development in Florida. That ruling was brought up at the North Port City Commission yesterday during a hearing about a big construction project. We'll tell you what happened. Next: A countywide coalition of grassroots anti-development organizations in Sarasota invited a former county commissioner to talk about overdevelopment and politics. Ramon Lopez reports.  Finally: You may know who represents us in the state legislature, but do you know what  they're up to in Tallahassee? As this year's session nears its end, WSLR reporter Ariana Lockman has a summary of the most impactful bills sponsored and co-sponsored by the four legislators representing Sarasota County.

Happy new 2024! For this very special episode of Post-Growth Australia Podcast, we interview Menang Noongar educator Larry Blight on site at the Yakamia forest, one of the few remnant pieces of bushland in Albany, which is currently under threat from overdevelopment (of course!) Larry discusses the environmental and cultural significance of the Yakamia forest. We then delve into a broader conversation across many issues such as overdevelopment, colonisation, the perils of neoliberalism and population policy. Larry incorporates his local knowledge and his connection to Boodja (Land) in what is a very deep and insightful conversation. From the Kirrah Mia (https://www.kurrahmia.com.au/about-us/) website: “Larry is a Menang Man, who is passionate about his Boodja (Land) and all things on it. Larry has extensive knowledge of local bushfoods, medicines, fauna, local stories and traditions. Larry has been passing on this knowledge through cross-cultural awareness workshops, Aboriginal tourism, school educational workshops and more.” This episode was recorded on site at the Yakamia forest with our trusty portable recorder. Being immersed within the bushland allowed for a more immersive conversation to unfold. However, it also happened to be a windy day with quite a bit of ambient sound, affecting the quality of the recording. We did our best to throw all the production tricks to sharpen the recording, and we would like to thank Andrew Skeoch and Crystal Marketing for their additional assistance. As with our previous episode at the NENA conference, (https://pgap.fireside.fm/nena2023) there is always a trade off with the intimacy of being 'live' with the unpredictable nature of sound recording, so we acknowledge the ‘rawness' of this episode. To find out more about the Yakamia forest, you may be interested in our Season Four episode “A Tribute to Community Groups fighting Big Overdevelopment in WA” (https://pgap.fireside.fm/wacommunity) where we interview Annabel Paully from the Friends of Yakamia. For more First Nations' perspective on Degrowth, you may be interested in Dr Mary Graham's address in the episode, “PGAP live at the NENA conference: Life After Capitalism (https://pgap.fireside.fm/nena2023).” We also interviewed Prof. Anne Poelina in the Season Two episode: “Saving the Martuwarra-Fitzroy river (https://pgap.fireside.fm/martuwarra)”. This episode was recorded on traditional Menang Noongar country, on lands that were never ceded and we would like to offer our respect to elders past, present and emerging. We strongly encourage you to share this very important episode with your friends, family and networks and would love it if you could take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/post-growth-australia-podcast/id1522194099) or your favourite podcast platform.

In the world of degrowth, the focus is often centred on the need for broad scale system change. However, it is often at the grassroots community level that real resistance against overdevelopment is truly and tangibly observed. For this very special episode of PGAP, we interview Annabel Paulley (Friends of Yakamia (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086597325548)), Chris Poulton (Rethink Eastlink (https://rethinkeastlink.org/)) and Andrew St John (Safe and Scenic Toodyay Roads (https://sastr.com.au/)) to highlight the good work been done by community groups in South-Western Australia to fight the relentless tide of overdevelopment. Our first guest Annabel Paulley (interviewed 00:08:19 to 00:37:09) is a coordinator and key member of the Albany based Friends of Yakamia Forest (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086597325548). The Friends of Yakamia have been working tirelessly to protect the titular rate payer land from being rezoned for housing and road development. The land is a fragment of the forest that once covered the northern suburbs of Albany and is home to a host of endemic and threatened plants, bird and animal species. You can find out more about Friends of Yakamia at their Facebook page here (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086597325548). (Friends of Yakamia visiting state MP for Albany, Rebecca Stephens) Our second guest Chris Poulton ( interviewed 00:37:23 to 01:09:16) runs Summer Creek Restaurant and Brewery (https://www.summercreekrestaurantbrewery.com.au/)with his family Bakers Hill, nestled in eastern side of the Perth Hills. The property and nearby Kep track have significant historical importance to Western Australia's formative history, that will be undermined if the Eastlink highway project is passed. Find out more about Rethink Eastlink here (https://rethinkeastlink.org/). You may also wish to check out the great work from the Save Perth Hills Action Group (https://www.saveperthhills.net/). (Chris Poulton) Our third guest Dr Andrew St John (interviewed 01:09:32 to 01:23:54) is convenor of Safe and Scenic Toodyay Roads (https://sastr.com.au/). Toodyay lies on the transition between the Perth Hills and the Wheatbelt. The impact to lifestyle, legacy and the natural environment of the local scarp ecosystem is threatened by Main Roads WA and other developments (including mining and housing development). (Andrew St John) One major focus of this episode is to explore the interrelationship between the great work done at the grassroots by community action groups and the broader issue of wider system change being championed by many activists including degrowth advocates. The South-West of Western Australia is not the only region in the world in which brave citizens are defending their natural and cultural environments from the march of development, progress and concrete. Similar fights are occurring everywhere, globally, all the time. All three guests share a unique vision of their solutions to this worldwide predicament, although all are united with the view that there needs to be fundamental end to the current growth based system. Otherwise, it will be up to community groups to be perpetually putting out the spot fires. Host Michael Bayliss is joined by Mark Allen, co-host and founder of Town Planning Rebellion (https://holisticactivism.net/town-planning-rebellion-tpr/), during the intro and outro. We gain his perspective on how TPR can work with local action groups to bring critical change to Australia's broken urban planning sector. We also discuss how to have a nuanced debate on some of the thornier issues such as urban consolidation vs. urban sprawl, and visible (but seldom discussed) impacts of population growth. You can find out more about host Michael Bayliss at his website here (https://michaelbayliss.org/) and more about Mark Allen at the Holistic Activism (https://holisticactivism.net/) website.

We'd like to leave you with some images of Chris Poulton's property at Bakers Hill, WA, followed by a timestamp of the episode. Old winery established in 1884 by Edward Keane with 3x 136 year old Moreton bay fig trees on the right. Looking up from the restaurant at the hill that would be turned in to a freeway (top 3rd of the picture).

Despite a rainy and snowy winter out west, Lake Powell and Lake Mead, the reservoirs that provide water for 40 million Americans, are at record low levels due to the ongoing megadrought. Arizona is set to lose over 20% of its Colorado River water allotment this year alone. As Stephanie Sy reports, that's leaving communities across the state scrambling to find alternatives.

We're talking joy, the love that survives, and how our country became used to massacre. 

The science is clear - we are pressuring the planet in more ways than one, causing unprecedented changes in climate and biodiversity, and mostly driven by human activities. All this combined increasingly threatens nature, human lives, livelihoods and well-being around the world. This Earth Day, the call is to "Invest in Our Planet" and for everyone to come together to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). So what can and should be done? Ahead of Earth Day on April 22nd, we discuss this and more with Zara Phang, a Sustainable Economy and Policy Analyst, at WWF-Malaysia.Image credit: CanvaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 28: excerpt from MEMORIES OF OVERDEVELOPMENT by Caridad Svich --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/caridad-svich/support

Currently, less than 15% of terrestrial land exists in some form of protected area, the percentage of marine protected areas is significantly lower. It’s undeniable that protecting some of the last vestiges of wild places from industrial decimation is a critical and worthy cause. However, large-scale land conservation projects have also historically displaced many populations and distressed communities that have relied upon pasture and forest for their livelihoods because of previous colonial impositions. In this episode, we explore the complex world of large-scale land conservation and wildlife restoration with guest Tom Butler. A writer and conservation activist, Tom Butler is author, volume editor, or co-editor of more than a dozen books including Wildlands Philanthropy, Plundering Appalachia, and Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot, and ENERGY: Overdevelopment and the Delusion of Endless Growth. Music by Jeffrey Silverstein and Galen Hefferman. Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.

Some profound changes are happening in our city centres, and the pandemic is certainly playing a big part; activity and footfall in our shops, restaurants, and central business districts has plummeted in recent months. Yet some of these changes have been rumbling away for years – and they go to the heart of how we think about, imagine and experience the places where we live, work, travel, shop and socialise. In this episode we'll be asking, “What now for our cities and city centres? And where might the opportunities lie for innovation and creativity and a new way of thinking about place?” In this fourth episode of Connected Places, Professor Greg Clark speaks to Miguel Gamino, Executive Vice President at Mastercard about the future of the city itself. We'll also meet Dr. Julie Grail, a world renown expert in business improvement districts, urban governance and place-making, and the Managing Director of the BIDs Business.

Hear from Woodrow Curry, lifelong resident and lead organizer for the grassroots coalition Uplift Inglewood, talking with host and executive producer of EcoJustice Radio Mark Morris about the ongoing community pushback against overdevelopment in the area. They discuss California's Assembly Bill 987, aiming to fast track development of a Clippers stadium on public land in Inglewood and ignoring the need for housing, green spaces and the public good.

Our Earth is in peril, and the consequences of our actions have devastating consequences. Elaine will share an important book, produced by Population Media Center, that shares the challenges that we have created through over population, over development and over-shoot. Through ravenous use and misuse of natural resources, we are killing our planet and ourselves. This book takes a look at the causes and the solutions.

Overdevelopment and Flooding - LoSo's What's Up Wednesday with John Steinberger

Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. Let's cut to it! In this episode: What news sources do we trust to keep us informed about current events? If you're still in college, is a long distance relationship a worthwhile pursuit -- or will it just hold you back from achieving other goals? Is there such a thing as too much personal development? Can someone really become unknowingly deficient in relationship skills because they're too absorbed in their own journey? How does one get started in the industry of self-help and personal growth? When your estranged parents reach out and want to visit you on the other side of the ocean, is it wrong to tell them that now's not a good time? Quick shoutouts to Mitch, a producer at a studio Jordan used (he turned out to be an AoC fan just by coincidence!) and Chris Johnson, who's deciding whether or not to do his own podcast now that he sees some of the work that goes into it!

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot (OVER) crystallizes the ecological and social tragedies of humanity's ballooning numbers and consumption. It's time to make millions of people acutely, immediately, and viscerally aware of the dangers and deprivations facing people and the planet. Our guest today is Bill Ryerson, founder and president of Population Media Center; he also serves as Chair and CEO of The Population Institute in Washington, DC. We will discuss ways to proceed into a sustainable, collaborative, and hopeful future using global communication systems.

Today, Nicole talks about the bullshit being piled on us, figuratively and literally, daily. Tom Butler joins in to talk about a new book on Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot. Joel Silberman dissects the message being perpetrated by "House of Cards" and Third Way. And we go back to the FloriDUH files too.
