Greening the Apocalypse - 27 November 2018

Someone who's heading to Tasmania to survive the fall of civilisation gets some advice from someone who's been there, done that. Kate Gracey is a self described "doomer" who is moving to southern Tasmania this December to grow potatoes while living on a farm with her son. Peter Harley, spent most of a decade in the 1980s living in a cooperative at Goongerah in East Gippsland, concerned about nuclear armageddon. We think they should talk. David Spratt joins Adam and Jed to host.

Is Slow Food and organic produce an elitist form of status signalling? What's so good about McDonalds?! And why do we need food waste? Food historian Rachel Laudan joins Adam Grubb and Sarah Coles to talk reasons why she thinks many in the ethical and sustainable food movements could use a little historical perspective, and it's a fascinating and provocative discussion. See her critique of the Slow Food movement [http://www.rachellaudan.com/2011/12/slow-food-the-french-terroir-strategy-and-culinary-modernism.html], and her award winning book 2013's Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History [http://www.rachellaudan.com/cuisine-and-empire] for further reading.

Greening the Apocalypse - 13 November 2018

There's probably no more important single number than how much energy we produce as a globe, nor a more important prediction of what direction that trend is heading. It's almost impossible to think of anything we care about that won't somehow be shaped by those numbers. So Adam and Jed speak with James Ward from University of South Australia, to discuss his co-authored study into projections of global fossil fuel production [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016236114010254], and a complementary paper on whether we can decouple GDP growth from energy use and environmental impact [https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0164733].

Our climate is too hot. We are in an emergency. How do we get this message out to the wider public?
