Rose George is the author of four fantastic books (Nine Pints, Ninety Percent of Everything, the Big Necessity, and a Life Removed) that share a common theme: much of her work is about seeing the unseen. It's about those things that are ubiquitous and unnoticed, or more likely, obfuscated from us. In this episode, we focus on human waste, the shipping industry, and blood. Much of our conversation is about how we begin to see the waters we swim in, stop sanitizing our language to further obscure things, and use our awareness to create changes large and small. It's about breaking down taboos and letting individual stories of tragedy and triumph bring us into issues that matter. It's also a little bit about the shipping industry and how 90% of our goods get to us, how toilets can transform lives, and how period products can dramatically improve the lives of girls.

Blood is the red thread that connects all of humanity through time, and there is an intelligence to our circulatory systems that we really need right now. In this episode, I share some surprising insights about blood, the cardiovascular system, and how it mirrors a greater wisdom flowing around us that we can tap into at any time.

“Public health is a load of crap!” Not quite. More like, “Public health is about a load of crap!” Abdul talks about how separating the water we crap in from the water we drink is literally the foundation of public health.

During the First and Second World Wars British fishing trawlers were turned into the Royal Naval Patrol Reserve to help clear the seas of mines and even take on the deadly U-Boats. They became known as 'Harry Tate's Navy' - a nod towards the celebrity comedian known for his bungling of everyday tasks and slipshod approach to life. Taking this wry criticism on the chin the fishermen-turned naval personnel embraced it and Harry Tate's Navy became a byword for exceptional resource fullness and courage in the face of appalling difficulty and danger. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with the historian and journalist Rose George who is currently working on a major new study of the history of the fishing industry. Hosted on Acast.

When the stricken mega-ship ‘Ever Given' blocked the Suez Canal many were amazed to learn that 12 per cent of global trade passes through the canal, making the economic damage caused by its closure very significant: a boggling $9.6 billion a day. All of this was something of a revelation to many of us, for as Rose George so powerfully puts it in her book Deep Sea and Foreign Going, shipping is an ‘invisible industry that brings you 90% of everything'. ‘It has quadrupled in size since 1970. We are more dependent on it now than ever'. And yet we suffer from what the chief of the Royal Navy, the First Sea Lord, calls ‘sea blindness'. We pay little heed to the sea itself and those who traverse it, to the companies who run shipping under their very elusive flags of convenience; we pay scant attention to what goes on behind the high-security fences of the world's container ports, and least of all to the conditions in which the world's seafarers live. They will joke that their job is like being in prison with a salary - but those who know both forms of institution agree that sea life is the far harsher form of incarceration. This talk attempts to overcome our sea blindness and open our eyes to these people who have brought us nine out of every ten things we own. A talk for The Third Sunday after Trinity , 20 June 2021.

On 23 March, one of the largest container ships in the world became wedged in the Suez Canal. The queues began to get longer as other vessels carrying cargo such as livestock, Ikea furniture and tea, were held up either end of the waterway. It took six days to free it - with tugboats, diggers and dredgers all taking part in the operation. But the shipping route could take months to return to normal. Host Dermot Murnaghan is joined by Sky’s defence correspondent Alistair Bunkall to discuss who should be held accountable; and Rose George, journalist and author of Ninety Percent of Everything: Inside shipping, describes what it’s like to go down the Suez Canal.

The Ever Given container ship has been stuck since Tuesday despite efforts to move it, and a backlog of ships waiting to pass through it continues to grow. Rose George travelled along the Suez Canal when researching her 2013 book 'Ninety Percent of Everything' and tells us more about the world of container shipping. We hear from Dorothy Brown, a law professor at Emory University, whose book 'The Whiteness of Wealth: How the Tax System Impoverishes Black Americans — And How We Can Fix It' explains how America's tax system is weighted towards white people. Also in the programme, as Bangladesh marks 50 years of independence, we take a closer look at its garments industry. Vidya Ambrin Khan tells us about the factory she runs that was set up by her father in the 1970s, and reflects on the impact of the Rana Plaza building collapse in 2013, in which more than 1,000 garment workers died. And we hear from Rubana Haq, president of the Bangladesh Garment Makers Association, what impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the sector. Fergus Nicoll is joined throughout the programme by Sharon Brettkelly of Radio New Zealand. (Picture: The Ever Given container ship from above. Picture credit: Maxar Technologies)

The grounding of the Ever Given cargo ship in the Suez canal has captivated the world - but one expert is not surprised it has happened. The sight of the 400-metre ship, with a total tonnage of 220,000 tons, stuck the width of the canal, while tugboats and dredgers attempt to free it has created many a meme as well as concerns, as it highlights the fragility of the global shipping industry.About 12 percent of global trade flows through the canal, with about $9.6 billion dollars of goods travelling the 193-kilometre journey every day.Rose George is a journalist and author who has extensively researched the global shipping industry for her book Ninety Percent of Everything. As part of that she has sailed on a cargo ship down the Suez canal - and her experience has given her a different perspective on the disaster.She told Francesca Rudkin that while it's surprising as it has never happened before, but it makes sense. "Since 2010, ships have been getting bigger and bigger. The canal is big enough, but because the Ever Given is so big, it's longer than the canal is wide, that's the problem."She says that the pressure is on to move it."They were hoping high tides today would lift up the ship, because obviously with 20,000 containers it's going to be pretty low in the water, but obviously that hasn't been enough."LISTEN ABOVE

We discuss phenylketonuria (PKU) and why this disease has been used as a model for drug discovery and treatment testing. But first, in this iteration of Katie and Caleigh do hip shit, we deep dive into Korean pop (better known as K-pop). We discuss the intense fandom, the new super group SuperM, and our thoughts on K-pop songs. Then, we move onto some PKU background - what PKU is, what causes PKU, and how PKU is currently diagnosed and treated. We walk through why people are using PKU as a test case and some techniques people are testing out on PKU.Other important references:The Ringer's podcast about K-popAnd where to buy books we mentioned:She Said by Jodi Kantor and Megan TwoheyNine Pints by Rose George

Most people have a minimum of 9 pints of blood in their bodies. In her book Nine Pints, Rose George takes us on a journey with nine stories exploring the science of blood and our changing attitudes to blood in different cultures.  We produce 2,000,000 new red blood cells each second. The cells have a lot of work to do. They carry oxygen to organs and tissues. They carry nutrients, heat and hormones. Blood transports waste products and where necessary, clots to stop the flow. It fights infections and foreign invaders. In Nepal Rose meets girls challenging taboos around menstruation. In the Canadian prairies, she visits a controversial plasma clinic. She tours a leech farm in Wales and learns about the role leeches play in modern surgery. Rose George is heard in her appearance at Adelaide Writers Week.

You might guess that the United States is the world’s biggest exporter of corn, but did you know that it is also one of the biggest exporters of blood? In fact, the U.S. exports more blood than it does corn, soybeans, or gold. More specifically, blood plasma - the yellow liquid that separates out, once your blood is in a tube or a bag - since it is a critical component in many pharmaceutical products and medicines. Rose George, author of “Nine Pints: A Journey Through the Money, Medicine, and Mysteries of Blood” walks us through the economics, science, and ethics behind the blood industry.

"Cholera has killed nearly 9,000 Haitians. More than 730,000 people have been infected. It is the worst outbreak of the disease, globally, in modern history. Hundreds of emergency and development workers have been working alongside the Haitian government for five years, trying to rid the country of cholera, and millions of dollars have been dispense in the fight to eradicate it. But it's still here. Why?" Why have attempts to get cholera under control in Haiti failed? Rose George reports.

UPDATE: When we first published this story in July 2015, some people claimed that the United Nations was responsible for bringing cholera to Haiti in the 2010 outbreak – something that the organisation denied. However, in August 2016 the UN acknowledged that it played a role in the outbreak, which has since killed 10,000 people. You can read Mosaic’s shorter piece on the causes of the 2010 outbreak here.

"Almost 30 per cent of children in care in Australia come from an Aboriginal background: 'The Stolen Generation - when Aborigines were forcibly taken away from their families - may not just be a shameful part of Australia's history...'. 'Is this seriously happening, in 2014?' I wonder. Most Australians are aware of the Stolen Generation, when it was legal for the government to take Aboriginal children away from their families. But this forced separation, I thought, had ended decades before." Healthcare in Australia’s Aboriginal communities is hindered by a long history of racial discord between very different cultures. Georgina Kenyon discovers the story of one young woman who died in the 1980s, and asks whether anything has changed since.

Community Led Total Sanitation as colonial hangover, how to poop while on the trail, shoehorning sanitation inside other sectors, and the importance of sunblock. Shawn “The Puru” Shafner spends an hour with anthropologist and Emory University PhD candidate Jennifer Barr. Jennifer spent 13 months living in Delhi and writing case studies of NGOs including Sulabh, India’s toilet-building monolith, and Safai Karmachari Andolan (SKA), a grassroots organization dedicated to the liberation and rehabilitation of all persons engaged in manual scavenging. It left her wondering: do current international development practices put human dignity and wellbeing at the center of their work? Where might colonial history and modern biases be skewing our attempts to do good? Hear Jennifer’s findings PLUS reasons why NGOs should use the word “shit,” and why the wise stop trying to “change the world” and instead focus on making small, human-centered improvements with gentleness, compassion and love.

What do you get when you mix 5,000 gallons of urine and 5 acres of hay? It might just be the future of our food. In this episode, Shawn Shafner (The Puru) talks to Kim Nace, co-founder of the Rich Earth Institute in Brattleboro, Vermont, where hundreds of local citizens collect their pee for science. But this is no kids stuff--the Rich Earth Institute is blazing a new trail and quickly gaining the attention of big-name foundations, National Geographic, and even the US Government. Tune in to understand why our pee is polluting the planet, how we can turn that waste into a resource, and what your tax dollars are doing to help. Soon morning tinkle will be music to your ears...

Constipated? Take relief: it's probably not because your sphincter is too tight. In this month's episode of SHHH, The Puru sits down with Dr. Daniel Gerling, Assistant Professor at Augustana University and perhaps the foremost expert on poop history in the United States (who else could write the dissertation, "American Wasteland: A Social and Cultural History of Excrement, 1860-1920"?). Hear Danny explain why American occupiers collected over 120,000 jars of Filipino feces, how the demodex (eyelash mite) may be the only creature that doesn't poop, and why sphincter expanders were recommended as a cure for constipation in the early 1900s. Put down that fork--this is one fascinating hour you might not want to eat through.   Also mentioned in this conversation: Thomas Jefferson, Dominique LaPorte, History of Shit, Tlazolteotl, Austin TX, John G.

If you're new to this daily podcast, head on over to YOURlop.com to get your copy of Your Life on Purpose, 10 actionable tips to live a life with impact which goes with this podcast and if you'd like, you'll also be able to join our weekly newsletter.   Okay, here's the thing. You don't need permission. I see so many people, young entrepreneurs, students — just real incredible people that want to do amazing things in this world and they are waiting for permission.   You don't need any permission to live the life you want to live and do the work you want to do.    Most people feel they need permission because that's how most of us are raised. In the school system, it's designed around a permission economy.    Students usually to age 18 often have to ask to go to the bathroom before graduating high school.    Just consider the behavior psychology of that for a moment.    If a person spent the first 18 years of their life asking permission to go to bathroom, it makes sense why many people wait for permission to live their lives more authentically.    But it's difficult to go from asking permission to go to the bathroom to thinking fully for yourself. But this is where real game changing work happens. When you listen to your heart, shuck permission, and do what it is you want to do with your life.    TED Speaker and activist Rose George knew this firsthand when she wrote The Big Necessity: The Unemotional World of Human Waste and Why it Matters.    She began to calculate all the trips we are taking to the bathroom and asked herself, “Where does all this stuff (I'll say stuff in case there are any children listening in the car), Where does all this stuff go?” You know…the stuff….   She traveled the world and looked at the waste systems that we have built around all around the world.    Just a humbling side note: If you're listening to this podcast, you more than likely have a toilet that you go to the bathroom on. Understand that this is something to be grateful for. Yes, Seriously.    Out of the seven billion people on this planet, only 4.5 billion people have toilets.    One billion people practice open defecation which means that they go to the bathroom in a field, usually next to the fields where children play. And no, they don't have toilet paper. Toilet paper is a luxury.    These are some of the facts I learned from Rose George. Here's a bit more of what she had to say when we sat down for a chat not too long after her TED talk went viral:   Enter Ep. 34 w/ Rose George    So, Rose George didn't need permission to be a game changing journalist. And she certainly didn't ask to go to the bathroom.    What about you? As you go throughout your day today, try to see if there's a moment where you either ask for permission or wait for permission.      Just remember, this is your life on purpose. You don't need permission. 

Our show today is a long-planned look at human waste. In other words... Poop. It has taken on a slightly more somber cast now that Connecticut is monitoring the possibility of its first case of Ebola.But, in some ways, we've got the perfect guests, especially Rose George, whose book about sanitation begins in a small town in Ivory Coast "filled with refugees from next door Liberia." Rose is looking for a toilet and eventually succumbs to the reality that there is no such place. There's a building where people do their business on the floor.Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Sutcliffe talks to the historian Michael Wood about the spirit and adventure of the Vikings who travelled all over Europe and as far east as Central Asia. The Vikings sailed close to the coast whenever possible, David Barrie celebrates the invention of the sextant three hundred years ago which made open water navigation and exploration possible. The majority of foreign goods we buy are transported by sea and Rose George charts the murky world of today's international shipping. The mystery and danger of the sea is a recurrent theme in the latest crime novel from the Icelandic writer Yrsa Sigurdadottir. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Hello! They said I was mad (MAD I SAY!) when I said I would devote an entire Fri-Internet-Day episode of The Lackadaisical Librocubicularist to 3 separate TED Talks!  And they were not wrong.... Muhahahahah!  I discuss the following TED Talks: Inside the Secret Shipping Industry with Rose George, The $80 Prosthetic Knee with Kirsta Donaldson, and I Got 99 Problems... Palsy is Just One with Maysoon Zayid.

Caroline welcomes Rose George, author of "The Big Necessity, Human Waste and Why it Matters," who, in the tradition of all great women, has journeyed to the Underworld, literally, and returned to tell a story essential to everyone who eats,"up-loads" and thus must "down-load." It is (way past) time to speak about the unspeakable, prima materia in alchemy, and our deteriorating global sanitation infra-structure which poses more risk, causes more death, than anything else we fear. Like the best of reggae – the darker the lyrics, the jauntier the tune, Rose George is a deft, witty and profound contributer catalyst to the conversations and resulting action we all must undertake. www.rosegeorge.com   The post The Visionary Activist Show – The Big Necessity, Human Waste and Why it Matters appeared first on KPFA.
