In recent months, we've covered CDR developments in the EU, followed CDR's role in international climate agreements, and interviewed startups working to bring DAC to Kenya. There's so much happening with CDR around the globe that it's a challenge to cover all the news of carbon removal's rise. That's why on this episode we're fortunate to have Tom Mills and Shantanu Agarwal join us today to share their work scaling up CDR in India with a new consortium called Carbon Removal Alliance India (CRIA). Tom is a co-founder of the organization, and Shantanu is a founder of Mati, an enhanced rock weathering startup in India that is a member of CRIA.

FULL EPISODE available at: patreon.com/Macrodose MACRODOSE EXTRA takes you behind the scenes to go in-depth with some of the leading voices from the world of economics. Subscribe today to hear our recent interviews with Greek politician Yanis Varoufakis, labour journalist Sarah Jaffe, and former finance trader Gary Stevenson. You'll also gain access to our upcoming interviews with author Rosie Collington and FT reporter Yuan Yang. Our guest today is Tom Mills. Tom is a Lecturer in Sociology at Aston University, and author of The BBC: The Myth of a Public Service. A book about the past, present and future of the BBC, how it shapes our understanding of the economy and society, and why we urgently need to rethink our public digital media ecosystem. Tom is also chair of Media Reform UK, a campaign for a more democratic and accountable media, where diversity, public interest and ethical journalism come before the private gain of a few media moguls.
Dr Tom Mills, a sociologist at Aston University, has written a book called 'The BBC: Myth of a Public Service'. It claims to set aside both liberal and conservative fantasies about the institution, and says that far from being a sanctuary for independent journalism, the BBC is intimately connected to the power it is supposed to hold to account. We discuss issues raised in the book on organisational culture, reform, accountability as well as the ongoing controversy surrounding the appointment of the BBC chairman Richard Sharp. "I've never read any serious defence of the way the BBC is currently arranged."Subscribe and support the podcast here.Find all our podcasts here@ta_mills@BeebRoger@RogerBolton@mastodonapp.ukroger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

'n Entrepreneur in landboutegnologie, Tom Mills, sê boere wat graag landboutegnologie aan die wêreld bekend wil stel, word deur die tekort aan mikroskyfies geraak. Hy sê die tegnologie-krisis raak boere wat hul bedrywighede wil moderniseer. Die Australiese entrepreneur sê hy is gedwing om afstandmonitering-stelsels te ontwikkel om op die hoogte te bly met waterpompe, besproeiingstelsels en elektriese heinings. Mill sê die mikroskyfie-tekort kom op 'n ongeleë tyd, aangesien baie boere arbeidsbesparende tegnologie benodig om werkers-tekorte te bowe te kom en produktiwiteit te verbeter.

*Due to logistical problems this recording starts as Leo Watkins is speaking. Regrettably this means that Laura Basu, Angela Phillips & Wendy Liu's contributions are not on the tape apart from in the Q&A. We're looking at ways to get their voices back on the soundcloud file, and apologise sincerely that their omission means that the panel is presented as effectively all male.* Our media is in crisis and transition. There is a crisis of funding, working conditions quality, trust and accountability in British journalism.

The BBC is often thought to be a great, impartial, defender of British values and society. In The BBC: Myth of a Public Service (Verso, 2016), Tom Mills, a lecturer in Sociology at Aston University, re-reads the history of the BBC to offer a more problematic status for the corporation, as an adjunct of British state power. The book uses examples from the General Strike in Britain, through war and economics reporting, to the vetting of left wing political attitudes within the Corporation, to tell the story of an institution that has been misunderstood by both left and right wing critics. Moreover, the book provides a critique of the management and organisation reforms to the BBC, coupled with a class analysis, demonstrating the need for transformation to this important part of British society. At a time when the media is under intense scrutiny for its perceived failures in reporting and representing politics and economics, Mills’ analysis and prescriptions for reform make for essential reading.
