Inside the Village - A weekly podcast featuring newsmakers in Ontario
Send us a textThe Princess of Wales has added her prominent voice to the urgent discussion around kids and their cellphones.In an essay co-authored by a Harvard Medical School professor, Kate warns that smartphones and other digital devices are responsible for an “epidemic of disconnection” that threatens the development of young children. “We're raising a generation that may be more ‘connected' than any in history while simultaneously being more isolated, more lonely, and less equipped to form the warm, meaningful relationships that research tells us are the foundation of a healthy life,” reads the essay, published by the Royal Foundation's Centre for Early Childhood.Kate's essay comes amid mounting evidence of the harms associated with cellphone use by kids, including increased anxiety and depression, loneliness and suicidal thoughts.“Data from Ontario now indicates that over one in four teens now report being in serious psychological distress, which is pretty alarming,” says Sachin Maharaj, a University of Ottawa education professor who researches the impact of cellphones in schools. “And the number of kids reporting poor or fair mental health has more than tripled over the past 15 years, and there's a lot of reason to suggest that increased time on social media is contributing to this.”On tonight's episode of Closer Look, we revisit Maharaj's interview on our podcast — including the important role parents play in limiting their children's screen time.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

Annabelle Padwick is a professional gardener, well-being practitioner and founder of Life at No.27.Her first experience of horticulture was growing on her allotment in 2015. She was having psychotherapy at the time and "hoping that I could learn some new skills, but also [hoping] it might help with my mental health at the same time". She soon quit her marketing career and founded her social enterprise CIC organization, Life at No 27 which supports children and adults from as young as five by combining horticulture therapy and counselling and "trying to give people of all ages access to mental health support that works".The organisation receives referrals from the NHS, works with school children and in schools, and has therapeutic sites in Northamptonshire and Wales. Annabelle is fundraising to try and open more sites and operate in more schools.A "child-led sort of approach" allows young people to learn how to grow their own food and "connect with the environment and wildlife". It runs after-school clubs and liaises with schools to help children with "challenging behaviour, (as much as I don't like that word)", anxiety, and poor self-esteem and helps them stay in mainstream education.Her biggest goal, she says, is to gain sponsorship from a horticultural firm on an ongoing basis and to garner more general support from the sector.Regards mental health support within horticulture, more could be done Annabelle says: "I'd be interested to know... how many organisations in the industry do have a mental health support policy...there's definitely value in companies investing in this area".A witness at the 2023 Lords horticulture enquiry Annabelle argued "we need to up our game in terms of horticultural therapy", training, defining what is horticultural therapy and of course, funding.There is an irony, she says, in "the amount of people that are isolated as horticulturists within the industry that are struggling with their mental health" which "doesn't add up either with how much in the media we're saying gardening can help".Getting horticulture on to the schools National Curriculum would also "massively help kids mental health and just the knowledge of where food comes from" as well as offering time outside the classroom.Annabelle set up Growing for Wellbeing Week (3 - 9 June 2024) to help with fundraising and "where we can really push our messaging on a bigger scale, but also offer resources to... colleges, secondary schools, universities, care homes."With access to mental health services for adults and young people severely stretched, she would like to be able to have more qualified professional councellors and offer a "wraparound service".The project has a partnership with Prince and Princess of Wales' Royal Foundation which she hopes will help, "if anyone's interested in supporting us then them coming forward."Annabelle admits frustration with the "definite lack of interest [from the horticulture sector so far], which is frustrating on many levels. But I think there's a lot more for industry to do because it makes sense, doesn't it?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
“We're just a moving ecosystem and we've got this weird thing called consciousness that gives us this impression that we're somehow separate, but we are just part of the ecosystem. We're a bag of microbes that's interacting with all the microbes around us. And I think there's a real need for us to appreciate our harmony with nature and our interrelatedness with nature.”Although they comprise less than 5% of the world population, Indigenous peoples protect 80% of the Earth's biodiversity.

And you can zoom in and you can see every single tree on the ground. You can see every bush and you can fund them or you can buy their coffee or you can go visit their projects and do ecotourism. There's a myriad of ways that we can all support their efforts by also improving our own lives. We need to be cutting our emissions so that we can allow nature to thrive and help us along the way. For far too long people have been squabbling about emissions. We should do this or we should do that. Climate change is way too big for us to be squabbling about things. We need to do everything now. When we grow the same crops every year, the soil gets more depleted and all the nutrients are lost. I've heard quotes that if we cannot find agricultural systems that rejuvenate the soil instead of depleting it, we are signing our death warrant.

“I had a very tangible interaction with a teacher that shaped everything in my life. I'm dyslexic, but I managed to get into a good university in the UK, and I was messing around in a class with 300 students, and the teacher sent me out of the class. But he met me after that class, and he essentially said, ‘What are you doing? Why are you here?' And I was like, ‘I like ecology, but I just can't keep up. There's too much reading. There's too much statistics.' And he said, ‘If you like ecology, just find the bits that you like.' And I just needed to look at the fungi and find them fascinating. And then that gives you positive endorphins when you have a successful experiment. So I just immersed myself in the parts that I enjoyed and through that process, things started to go really well and my degree went really well. And then after that, my career sort of exploded. And genuinely, I know if I had not encountered that professor, there's no way my career would have gone in the direction it has done. And I just think teachers are unbelievable inspirers, not necessarily for the knowledge they give you, but more for just inspiring you to follow your own your own path, your own trajectory.”Although they comprise less than 5% of the world population, Indigenous peoples protect 80% of the Earth's biodiversity.

I'm dyslexic, but I managed to get into a good university in the UK, and I was messing around in a class with 300 students, and the teacher sent me out of the class. But he met me after that class, and he essentially said, ‘What are you doing? Why are you here?' And I was like, ‘I like ecology, but I just can't keep up. There's too much reading. There's too much statistics.' And he said, ‘If you like ecology, just find the bits that you like.' And I just needed to look at the fungi and find them fascinating. And then that gives you positive endorphins when you have a successful experiment. So I just immersed myself in the parts that I enjoyed and through that process, things started to go really well and my degree went really well. And then after that, my career sort of exploded. And genuinely, I know if I had not encountered that professor, there's no way my career would have gone in the direction it has done. And I just think teachers are unbelievable inspirers, not necessarily for the knowledge they give you, but more for just inspiring you to follow your own your own path, your own trajectory.”https://crowtherlab.com/about-tom-crowther https://restor.eco/?lat=26&lng=14.23&zoom=3www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

"Global restoration really means finding and empowering the millions of local communities, indigenous populations, and farmers who are promoting biodiversity. Restor is a digital platform, sort of like Google Maps, but for restoration. So rather than seeing coffee shops and supermarkets, you will see conservation projects and Indigenous-led restoration initiatives. And that means you can find a currently on Restor - I think we have around 140, 000 - so you can go on there for free right now and find thousands and thousands of these amazing heroes of nature. And you can zoom in and you can see every single tree on the ground. You can see every bush and you can fund them or you can buy their coffee or you can go visit their projects and do ecotourism. There's a myriad of ways that we can all support their efforts by also improving our own lives. We need to be cutting our emissions so that we can allow nature to thrive and help us along the way. For far too long people have been squabbling about emissions. We should do this or we should do that. Climate change is way too big for us to be squabbling about things. We need to do everything now. When we grow the same crops every year, the soil gets more depleted and all the nutrients are lost. I've heard quotes that if we cannot find agricultural systems that rejuvenate the soil instead of depleting it, we are signing our death warrant. It's like we need to be promoting healthy soils if we're going to have any agriculture in the future."Although they comprise less than 5% of the world population, Indigenous peoples protect 80% of the Earth's biodiversity.

My guest today is Prince Filip Karađorđević of Serbia, Chief Strategy Officer at JAN3, a global financial technology company. Having previously worked 15 years in traditional finance, Prince Filip joined JAN3 because he believes in Bitcoin's potential to bring freedom and sovereignty to billions around the world. As the CSO, Prince Filip champions the cause of financial freedom through digital assets like Bitcoin and stablecoins, while promoting legal frameworks that support economic empowerment for the unbanked. Prince Filip is a frequent speaker at international conferences and interacts with heads of state, congresspeople, and C-suite executives. He believes in freedom and the new Renaissance that Bitcoin enables. In this episode we discuss the history of the monarchy in Serbia, including its benefits, such as protection of individual property rights and religious freedom. Filip shares his personal journey to working in the Bitcoin industry with JAN3. He explains the importance of top-down approach to Bitcoin adoption, and we end with how Bitcoin can solve issues like wars and violence by changing the incentive structure of money. This episode is the third of 5 special episodes filmed at the Bitcoin Conference in Amsterdam, recorded 9 weeks ago, and aired in delay due to the War in Israel; Thanks for your support & understanding.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 3:30 We should have an episode out next week and then we'll be off on October 28th. I recently discovered a British woman on YouTube who feeds the foxes in her suburban neighborhood. I also love videos of huskies. Here's a link to the video I mention where the husky is complaining and the German Shepherd is chill. (The husky has since passed over the rainbow bridge.) Here's a link to the video Chandra mentions of the Husky who refuses to come in after it snowed. Chandra loves this interview with Daniil Medvedev from after he beat Alcaraz at the US Open. There's also a cute interview where he's doing a puzzle. Chandra is going to watch the Beckham docuseries. Royals: Minutes (3:30) to 20:00 Harry and Meghan were in New York City as part of their work with the Archewell Foundation for World Mental Health Day. They were in a terrible car chase with the paparazzi the last time they were in New York, in May. This time they brought a security team. Chandra thinks some of that security might be NYPD. The British press was snarky about their security. Harry and Meghan visited a school in Brooklyn and also took part in a discussion with at the World Mental Health Day Festival with families of children have been bullied online. They were on a panel with US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. The Sussexes have been advocating for regulating social media for a long time. We remember Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen's testimony in Congress in late 2021 and Mark Zuckerberg's testimony in 2018. Congress is not regulating these awful social media companies because they have no clue. I pay a segment of Meghan's discussion on that panel. Chandra does not think Meghan will return to Instagram. We remember when her friend posted a photo of avocado toast and the press connected it to war and drought. The Waleses hired an entertainment producer, Pippa Harris, as director of their Royal Foundation. Pippa runs a production company with director Sam Mendes and is one of the producers of Call the Midwife. We're surprised that show is still running after 12 seasons but we both only watched the first two seasons. The story about William hiring Harris was written by Richard Eden and framed as if Harry and Meghan would be jealous of William. It was ridiculous. William's private secretary is leaving after the news that William wants to hire a CEO. Kate hasn't had a private secretary in over a year. She tried to hire someone but that woman quit before she started. The Waleses went to Birmingham for World Mental Health day where they spoke to young people. I thought Kate's speech was a little better than usual, but Chandra says she hasn't improved. William just gave basic examples of improving mental health like getting outdoors and talking to friends. The Royal Foundation also commissioned a survey of 3,000 young people on how mental health is important. Kate went to Nottingham Trent University to talk with students about mental health. She wore a cream Sezane sweater and skirt that was very Meghan. Kate and William also stepped out for an event with SportsAid, one of Kate's patronages. They talked to young athletes about mental health. Kate wore a blue Zara blazer and jeans. I say the royals need to redistribute their wealth and Chandra agrees. The royals own so much land and have massive wealth. Chandra mentions that William is no longer talking about housing the homeless on duchy property. Comments of the Week: Minutes (20:00) to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Chaine on the post about William's favorite emoji. My comment of the week is from Miranda on the post where Aaron Rodgers said he wanted to debate Travis Kelce. Thanks for listening bitches!
Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00 I've been watching Los Espookys on HBO Max and I love it. Chandra says this season of What We Do in the Shadows was really good. She also watched the US Open and loves Coco Gauff and Daniil Medvedev. Royals: Minutes 6:00 to 22:45 The Invictus Games are happening in Dusseldorf. Last week we mentioned that Prince Harry stopped briefly in the UK to attend the Wellchild Awards. He also visited his grandmother's crypt at St. George's Chapel in Windsor to quietly pay his respects on the anniversary of her death. He tried to stay under the radar but of course the royal rota threw a fit and said he was trying to upstage William. Meanwhile William and Kate were over an hour late to their event honoring the Queen on the anniversary of her death. Harry got a standing ovation in Dusseldorf and was greeted by the mayor. He's getting glowing coverage in the German press, especially now that Meghan is there. The Windsors are doing a ton of events as counterprogramming. Will and Kate were on Mike Tindall's rugby podcast, and the reporting afterwards was that they “torpedoed Harry's launch of the Invictus Games with the release of a podcast featuring them and Princess Anne.” They always do things with Harry and Meghan in mind. Kate's entire look at the Rugby World Cup was a copy of Meghan's at the Invictus Games opening a year prior. Kate visited a prison and wore a fluffy new wig that the press praised the next day. We also heard she had a meeting. William did an event for suicide prevention and mental health issues affecting construction workers. Meanwhile the royals have not acknowledged Team Briton or the Invictus Games, although they're trying to partially take credit for it by stating that Harry started it through the Royal Foundation. Meghan joined Harry at the Invictus games on Tuesday and attended her first event on Tuesday night. She was in a black Banana Republic shirtdress. On Wednesday Meghan wore a cardigan from J.Crew and dress shorts. She's also worn black jeans with a black sleeveless top and white jeans with a white sweater vest. She is doing her own hair and makeup. Thursday, Meghan and Harry did an event with Nato personnel. Meghan wore a silky brown blouse and dress pants. Chandra's favorite outfit she's worn is her travel outfit. The Nigerian team has given Meghan a traditional Nigerian name. She's been embraced by Invictus competitors and attendees. There are photos of Meghan holding Taira's hand, the Ukrainian Invictus competitor who was held in a Russian prison camp. The British royals haven't acknowledged the British Invictus team with a tweet or message or reception and even the British press is noticing. The British defense minister is there and has been in meetings though. We remember the story about how the British government pressured the Bidens not to support the Sussexes. The Windsors are so obvious with the stunts they're pulling. Comments of the Week: Minutes 22:45 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from GirlNinja on the post about Kate's wig. My comment of the week is from Indica on the post about how the FDA found phenylephrine is ineffective. Thanks for listening bitches!

Six locations across the UK will be used to test ideas to cut homelessness. "Everyone should have a safe and secure home and be treated with dignity," says Prince William. But Prince William will also face challenges about how someone with such wealth and extensive property holdings can make such calls over homelessness. Mishal Husain was joined in the studio by Lord William Hague, who chairs the prince's Royal Foundation and the footballer Tyrone Mings, a supporter of the plan after experiencing homelessness as a child.
What a brilliant week we have had with the pomp and pageantry of Trooping The Colour to mark The King's birthday and The Order of The Garter Service and Procession at Windsor Castle.

The Earthshot Prize, founded by Britain's Prince William to honor groundbreaking solutions to environmental issues, broadcasted its second ceremony on PBS and the BBC. William, who launched the global prize with The Royal Foundation, joined the event filmed on Dec. 2 in Boston and aired Dec. 4 on Britain's BBC. On Dec. 5, it streamed on PBS.org, the PBS app and PBS YouTube channel, and on The Earthshot Prize YouTube channel. PBS stations will also air the ceremony on Dec. 14. In a statement, BBC executive Jack Bootle said last year's inaugural ceremony included “big-name stars and brilliant musical acts. This year's will be every bit as spectacular.” The prize, inspired by and with a name echoing President John F. Kennedy's 1961 challenge to America to land a man on the moon by that decade's end, aims to “discover and scale the best solutions to help repair our planet within the next decade,” according to a release. Each of this year's five winners will receive $1 million to accelerate their projects aimed at the prize's 2030 goals: protecting and restoring nature; cleaning the air; reviving the oceans; building a waste-free world, and fixing the climate. “We support the mission of The Earthshot Prize and are looking forward to creating year-round content that showcases the work of the individuals and teams who are working to protect the planet with breakthrough innovations,” Paula Kerger, PBS president and CEO, said in a statement.

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. This week's moment is with presenter and journalist Kate Silverton. Kate is also the author of the incredible book called No such thing as naughty. This is a very short and powerful clip about how we can handle our children's meltdowns. I hope it helps you this week. It has already helped me this morning. Listen to the full episode here. ABOUT KATE SILVERTON In 25 years as a journalist, Kate Silverton has become one of the BBC's leading and most popular broadcasters. She has produced and presented numerous documentaries, including for the BBC's flagship current affairs programme Panorama. She has come under fire on the frontline in Iraq and Afghanistan, covered the glamour of the Oscars in Hollywood, and stepped out beneath the glitter ball herself as a contestant for the BBC's much-loved entertainment show, Strictly Come Dancing. Kate has spent decades interviewing leading figures throughout the world, from politicians through to celebrities and scientists. Throughout it all, Kate's lifelong passion has been to advocate for children and their emotional well-being. Her academic roots are in child development with a BSc in psychology and, after having children of her own, Kate decided to retrain as a child psychotherapist. She now combines her career in journalism with her studies, currently volunteering as a counsellor on placement working with children at a London primary school. Philanthropically, for many years she has supported charities like Place2Be, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, The South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, as well as the NSPCC and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Royal Foundation. Kate's counselling work with children, her own personal experience of psychotherapy and the interviews she has conducted with world-renowned psychiatrists, neuroscientists and psychotherapists have all informed her approach and the concept she has devised for this book.

Dr. Nadina Galle is joined by Clara Rowe, CEO of Restor, to discuss why ecosystem restoration and conservation are crucial for protecting Earth's biodiversity and achieving climate mitigation goals, how restoration has the potential to draw down about 30 percent of accumulated global carbon emissions, why the biggest impacts are felt at the local scale, and why with the right data, along with full transparency, local restoration projects can now connect to the world's first open-source platform for global restoration action. Restor is founded by ETH Zurich's Crowther Lab in collaboration with Google and was a finalist for the Royal Foundation's 2021 Earthshot Prize and is an official partner of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
