I chat with author Michelle Paver about all things ghost story. What makes a good haunt? Which are her favourites and which doesn't she like? And what do ghosts mean to her?For the second part of the interview we take a look at Michelle's new novel 'Rainforest', a ghost story set in the Mexican rainforest. Having previously placed her ghosts in the isolation of the Arctic and high up a mountain, Michelle once again shows that you can have an effective haunt in an unexpected location. We explore Mayan folklore, shamanism and the cultural roles of that civilization on the story.The episode includes an extract of the audiobook version of Rainforest, read by Richard Armitage.You can visit Michelle's website to find our more about her work at https://michellepaver.com/Please support the work of The Folklore Podcast on the Patreon page.

Chris Church, VP of Engineering at Rainforest, breaks down why a zero bug policy is more than a technical choice. It is a mindset, an operating model, and a culture shift that shapes how engineering teams build, release, and support software at scale.In this conversation he goes inside the habits that actually make quality a strategic advantage and explains how small releases, strong visibility, and healthy engineering practices create real impact over time.Key Takeaways• Quality is not a feature. It is the foundation of trust, especially in a payments environment where even small defects can erode confidence.• Small releases reduce risk because teams can actually reason about the changes they ship. Frequency builds confidence and reliability.• Visibility is non negotiable. You cannot fix what you cannot see, so strong monitoring and clear alerts must exist before a quality culture can grow.• Teams need real capacity set aside for fixes and improvements. Without that buffer, bugs turn into a silent tax that slows down the entire org.• You can adopt a zero bug mentality even in a mature codebase, but you must commit to a long game of continuous improvement.Timestamped Highlights00:33What Rainforest actually does and why their customers rely on embedded payments01:44Chris explains what a zero bug policy means in practice for a fintech engineering team03:06Why the policy must be strict and why a backlog of broken things creates a false sense of safety06:13How Rainforest structures ownership, on call rotations, and incident response to support quality10:51Smaller releases, lower risk, and why the size of a change has a direct impact on failure modes12:59Why test coverage and automation must start early and why teams struggle when they try to catch up later14:27How to adopt this mindset if your org is nowhere near zero bugs and where to begin23:44The biggest gotchas teams underestimate when they start this journey and why progress requires patienceOne line that stands out“People overestimate what they can fix quickly and underestimate what they can improve over the long run.”Pro Tips• Start by making your system noisy. More visibility will feel painful at first, but it becomes the foundation for every improvement.• Reserve capacity for fixes before planning feature work. If you wait until later, that time will never appear.• Break tech debt into specific problems. Vague labels hide real risks and slow down prioritization.Call to ActionIf you found value in this conversation, follow the show and share it with someone who cares about engineering quality, team culture, and building software that lasts.

Camilla shares how her passion for understanding childhood in rainforest communities led to co-produced films that are now shaping policy, influencing global youth agencies, and opening doors to commercial opportunities.

The Amazon rainforest is home to billions of trees, animals and people. It's spread across nine countries in South America - Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela - but the majority of it, almost 60%, is in Brazil. As well as being rich in biodiversity, the Amazon is also very important in the world's fight against climate change; as it absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. But the Amazon has been declining. In fact, in 2022 Brazil set a new deforestation record for the amount of trees cut down in the rainforest in one month. This impact is being felt directly by the indigenous groups who have been living there for thousands of years, but also the world as a whole. In this episode we're joined by Graihagh Jackson, from the BBC's The Climate Question podcast, and Dr Erika Berenguer, who's a Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford and Lancaster. We chat about why the Amazon is so important, and what's being done to protect it. This year's climate summit Cop30 is being held in Belem, in the Amazon, for the first time. So we also discuss what impact this could have on the world's largest rainforest.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Adam Gilchrist for a whirlwind look at global headlines making waves. First, the shocking story of a Polish woman who was locked away by her mother for 27 years has stunned Europe, raising questions about hidden abuse and how such isolation went unnoticed for so long. Then, a troubling spotlight on the world’s tropical rainforests — deforestation is accelerating, and experts warn that if urgent action isn’t taken, we could face devastating environmental consequences.

It's the 40th anniversary of the founding of Rainforest Action Network (RAN). So we're reposting this 2021 interview with RAN co-founder Randy Hayes.The 1980s saw a new consciousness of environmental awareness, particularly around the Earth's rain forests. Scientists had discovered that, aside from their enormous biodiversity, rainforests also helped to keep carbon from being released into the atmosphere. Corporations in the U.S. and Europe saw tropical rainforests as a means for profit. For a long time, Indigenous communities had stood against industrial development and deforestation. And by the 1980s, environmental groups in Europe and Australia had been actively fighting deforestation on a grassroots level. But in the U.S. environmental movements had failed to evoke widespread activism on the subject. This episode is about the emergence of rainforest movements in the U.S. in the 1980s with one of the founders of Rainforest Action Network (RAN)-- Randy Hayes.We interview Randy about the history of the movement to save tropical rainforests, corporate campaigning in the early days of RAN and being in solidarity with Indigenous communities around the globe. Randy also talks about biodiversity loss and the ever smaller window of opportunity we have to halt and reverse the very worst of the damage. Bio// Described by the Wall Street Journal as “an environmental pit bull,” Randy Hayes is the co-founder of Rainforest Action Network, and is an author, filmmaker and environmentalist. Hayes is a veteran of many high-visibility corporate accountability campaigns and has advocated for the rights of Indigenous peoples throughout the world. He is currently the executive director of Foundation Earth and a consultant to the World Future Council, based in Washington, DC.-----------------------

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

Estimated to be more than 130 million years old, the ancient rainforest of Sabah comes alive in sound as night descends. The air vibrates with the calls of nocturnal creatures, forming a chorus in the darkness. From the steady hum of countless insects to the distant cries of animals hidden, the forest pulses with life.  Within this vast wilderness dwell some of the world's rarest and most remarkable beings - the Orangutan, Proboscis Monkey, Pygmy Elephant, Rhinoceros Hornbill, and Estuarine Crocodile - together known as the famous ‘Borneo Five'. Wrapped in shadows and mystery, the rainforest holds their presence like a secret, offering a timeless symphony. Recorded by Jake Edwards.

Get ready for a delightful dive into the world of storytelling with Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr, the dynamic duo behind the beloved Ben Yokoyama book series! In this heartwarming episode of Reading with Your Kids, the creative couple shares the story behind their final installment, "Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Destiny." Matthew, a self-proclaimed easily confused writer, and Robbi, a talented illustrator with a design background, have crafted a unique approach to children's books. Their series follows Ben, a literal-minded third-grader who gets hilariously tangled up in misinterpreted fortune cookie fortunes. This final book takes Ben and his best friend Janet on a cross-country road trip filled with typical Swanson-Behr hijinks. What makes their books special is the incredible collaboration between Matthew and Robbi. They're complete opposites - Matthew is deadline-driven and goal-oriented, while Robbi loves starting her day with an ice cream sundae and pushing deadlines to the last minute. Their complementary styles create magic on the page, resulting in beautifully illustrated books that help reluctant readers fall in love with storytelling. The couple's creativity extends beyond books. They spent an entire year traveling across the country in a bus, visiting Title One schools and giving away books through their Busload of Books nonprofit. Their mission? To bring books and creativity to underserved communities. Their four children are a source of constant inspiration and entertainment. From their daughter Alden to their son Auggie, each child reflects a unique blend of Matthew and Robbi's personalities. While this might be the end of the Ben Yokoyama series, the couple is excited about future projects, including a standalone novel called "Life on the Moon." Their passion for storytelling, collaboration, and connecting with young readers shines through in every word and illustration. It's a conversation that's part interview, part comedy routine, and completely heartwarming - a true celebration of creativity, family, and the joy of reading. We als welcome our Dean of All Things STEM & STEAM, Jennifer Swanson, back to the show to celebrate her latest book, "Three Weeks in the Rainforest." Jennifer shares the fascinating story behind her book, which explores a woman-led scientific team from the Field Museum conducting a rapid inventory in the Amazon. Inspired by an exhibit she discovered while visiting her daughter at Northwestern, Jennifer delved into the world of scientists who meticulously study biodiversity while working closely with indigenous communities. The conversation highlights Jennifer's lifelong passion for science, tracing back to her childhood science club and her ability to see scientific wonder everywhere. She vividly describes her interviews with scientists like Dr. Leslie de Souza, an ichthyologist who casually walks into waters inhabited by piranhas and anacondas. Beyond the book's content, Jennifer emphasizes the importance of nurturing children's curiosity, encouraging parents and educators to listen to kids' questions and help them explore answers, not just through the internet, but through resources like libraries. Her infectious enthusiasm for science shines through, making the complex world of scientific research accessible and exciting for young readers.

Chronicling the practices, legends, and wisdom of the vanishing traditions of the upper Amazon, this book reveals the area's indigenous peoples' approach to living in harmony with the natural world. Rainforest Medicine features in-depth essays on plant-based medicine and indigenous science from four distinct Amazonian societies: deep forest and urban, lowland rainforest and mountain.The book is illustrated with unique botanical and cultural drawings by Secoya elder and traditional healer Agustin Payaguaje and horticulturalist Thomas Y. Wang as well as by the author himself. Payaguaje shares his sincere imaginal view into the spiritual life of the Secoya; plates of petroglyphs from the sacred valley of Cotundo relate to an ancient language, and other illustrations show traditional Secoya ayahuasca symbols and indigenous origin myths. Two color sections showcase photos of the plants and people of the region, and include plates of previously unpublished full-color paintings by Pablo Cesar Amaringo (1938-2009), an acclaimed Peruvian artist renowned for his intricate, colorful depictions of his visions from drinking the entheogenic plant brew, ayahuasca ("vine of the soul" in Quechua languages).Today the once-dense mysterious rainforest realms are under assault as the indiscriminate colonial frontier of resource extraction moves across the region; as the forest disappears, the traditional human legacy of sustainable utilization of this rich ecosystem is also being buried under modern realities. With over 20 years experience of ground-level environmental and cultural conservation, author Jonathon Miller Weisberger's commitment to preserving the fascinating, unfathomably precious relics of the indigenous legacy shines through. Chief among these treasures is the "shimmering" "golden" plant-medicine science of ayahuasca or yajé, a rainforest vine that was popularized in the 1950s by Western travelers such as William Burroughs and Alan Ginsberg. It has been sampled, reviled, and celebrated by outsiders ever since.Currently sought after by many in the industrialized West for its powerful psychotropic and life-transforming effects, this sacred brew is often imbibed by visitors to the upper Amazon and curious seekers in faraway venues, sometimes with little to no working knowledge of its principles and precepts. Perceiving that there is an evident need for in-depth information on ayahuasca if it is to be used beyond its traditional context for healing and spiritual illumination in the future, Miller Weisberger focuses on the fundamental knowledge and practices that guide the use of ayahuasca in indigenous cultures. Weaving first-person narrative with anthropological and ethnobotanical information, Rainforest Medicine aims to preserve both the record and ongoing reality of ayahuasca's unique tradition and, of course, the priceless forest that gave birth to these sacred vines. Featuring words from Amazonian shamans--the living torchbearers of these sophisticated spiritual practices--the book stands as testimony to this sacred plant medicine's power in shaping and healing individuals, communities, and nature alike.Ethnobotanist JONATHON "SPARROW" MILLER WEISBERGER was raised in Ecuador and the U.S. He has collected over 2,000 herbarium specimens, including first-time collections of several new species. From 1990 to 2000, Jonathon lived in the Ecuadorian Amazon among five indigenous nationalities, and was influential in the creation of three reserves including the Napo-Galeras National Park. He participated in the demarcation of Waorani territory and in groundwork that helped the Secoya people retain a significant tract of their ancestral homelands. He is the executive director of the Council for Cultural and Biological Diversity (known in Latin America as Fundación OSA), supporting rainforest conservation and cultural heritage projects in Ecuador and Costa Rica. He is the steward of Guaria de Osa Ecolodge (guariadeosa.com), a rainforest and ocean discovery and education center on the remote Osa peninsula, Costa Rica.

The situation with respect to the climate crisis is developing rapidly. Each new study seems to bring worse news. In addition, the media is rife with climate denial and misinformation. To help us understand what is happening on this planet, Clearing the FOG speaks with environmental journalist Robert Hunziker. Hunziker follows climate studies published in scientific journals and translates them into a language the average person can understand. He reports that top scientists are saying there has been a fundamental shift in the climate. Rainforests and tundras are now spewing carbon instead of sequestering it, and the oceans have reached their capacity for storing the planet's heat. Cascading weather events are making areas of the world uninhabitable. For More information, visit PopularResistance.org.
