Absolute Units
Lo-fi clip-clops and bleats to relax/study to. Welcome to the official podcast of The Museum of English Rural Life. Based at the University of Reading, we explore the past, present and future of the English countryside. Hosted by Joe Vaughan and Dr Ollie Douglas. Chaotic Good.
Absolute Units
Ego vs eco (with Tom Oliver and Marzia Briel)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How does humanity fit into nature? How long have we viewed ourselves as being apart from it? And what are the problems that creates?
This time, we chat with Tom Oliver and Marzia Briel from the University of Reading to learn about their Nature-centric Catalyst project. We discuss the rights of nature, the advocacy landscape today, and how we can better centre the natural world in our thoughts and deeds.
Also, we end with a 5-minute meditation, beautifully performed by Marzia.
