  • David Holmgren is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the permaculture concept following the publication of Permaculture One in 1978. Since then he has developed three properties, consulted and supervised in urban and rural projects and presented lectures, workshops and courses at a wide variety of events and venues in Australia and around the world. His writings over those three decades span a diversity of subjects and issues but always illuminating another aspect of permaculture thinking.

    Today we discuss:
    -Our mutual concerns about the increasing normalisation of censorship in a post-covid world
    -The strange polarity flips between conventional political positions
    ...and a little bit about permaculture

  • Eliza Greenman is a fruit explorer, horticultural historian, and designer /implementer of agroforestry plans that integrate livestock (and humans) into tree crop systems/orchards.

    Outside of her farming endeavours on leased land, She is currently looking to purchase a location (in Virginia) to plant a tree crops repository for the Southeastern US. The ultimate goal is to assemble as many genetics as possible to create a nearly endless fruit, nut and leaf drop scheme that will substantially or completely offset the cost of grain needed to raise livestock in the Southeast.

    -The joys of botanical adventuring
    -The deep value of perennial staple crops
    -The tragedy of the grand American Chestnut
    -The mystical White Oak

  • Writer, psychic, initiator and master storyteller, de Angeles has been in print for decades. She facilitates the immersive, initiatory Rivers in the Skin experience: a deeply moving and life-altering ceremonial awakening of ancestral presences and the rewilding of a Celtic ancestry long thought gone. Challenging, but ultimately liberating, particularly for those having suffered spiritual and cultural misappropriation and oppression, especially by those of the conquerors (inntrenger) and has worked with the public, with tarot, for over forty years.

    Lore de Angeles is an indigenous Catuvellaun/Briganti knowledge holder, with strong genealogical taproots of Scandinavian, Irish and Breton ancestry, and is learned in the landscapes and story of these living people and species. She is a scholar and a defender of culture, language, freedom of speech, gender diversity, equality, parity, homeland and right-to-respect.

    During this discussion we explore:

    -The power of language
    -Etymology
    -Lore's personal story of being sold and bought as a child
    -The indigenous Britains
    ...and frankly, more than I can recall at this point.

  • Of all the myths and stories we find shared ubiquitously around the globe one of the most persistent and captivating is that of hairy, wild, human-like creatures living in the wilderness.

    How are they represented in different cultures? Are they merely myth or is there a physical reality to them? And if so, why the disparaging gap between the bountiful anecdotal evidence and meagre physical?

    In this talk we discuss the elusive creatures and the surrounding phenomena from a historical, Jungian, mythological, paleo-anthropological, and even modern forensic perspective as to what may lie behind this cross cultural folklore and unrelenting sightings.

  • Scott Cane, Australian archaeologist and anthropologist, grew up in southern Tasmania before moving to Canberra to study at The Australian National University. There he completed his PhD examining the relationship between human behaviour and material culture among Ngarti and Kukatja people living in the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia.

    He works as a consultant having co-authored a monograph with economist Owen Stanley, Land Use and Resources in Desert Homelands, and has written over ninety reports and twenty-five published papers about Aboriginal cultural heritage, community life and relations to land. This long-standing interest in Aboriginal people, their culture and heritage led to Scott’s involvement with the Spinifex People of the Great Victoria Desert in 1992 and, in turn, to the documentation and definition of their customary land tenure and the recognition of their native title.

    He has lived long periods of time with the desert people of Australia, including some of the last hunter-gatherers. He is the author of Pila Nguru: The Spinifex People. He appeared in the 2013 ABC TV documentary, First Footprints and authored the accompanying book of the same title. The documentary won the 2013 Walkley Award for excellence in documentaries.

    We discuss:
    -Human evolution
    -Sahulian ecology
    -Memory devices
    -Mnemonics
    -Giant, mysterious spirals in the desert
    -Megafuana
    -Indigenous Australia

    ...and probably loads more stuff that is worth noting but I can't remember right now.

  • In todays episode we speak with groundbreaking botanical researcher Monica Gagliano.

    In collaboration with various disciplines across the Sciences and the Humanities, Monica's research aims at expanding our perception of animals, plants and more generally Nature. In the process of learning how to do this, she has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics and extended the concept of cognition to plants, re-igniting the discourse on plant subjectivity, sentience and ethical standing.

    Monica is a Research Associate Professor in Evolutionary Ecology at the Biological Intelligence (BI) Lab, Southern Cross University, a Research Associate Professor (Adjunct) at the University of Western Australia, a Research Affiliate at the Sydney Environment Institute, University of Sydney & an all round, swell human bean.

    We also tip-toe through the following proverbial tulips:
    -Indigeneity
    -Linear time
    -Astrology
    -Ethnobotany
    -Science Vs Scientism
    -New, old and novel epistemologies

  • Scott Hall is a 5th Generation Grain Farmer, Market Farmer, Holistic Management Consultant and leader within the Australian syntropic agriculture movement.

    Syntropic Agriculture is, as the listener will discover, tricky to define. It's simplest definition is a systematised approach to agroforestry based on the principles of ecological succession and, perhaps more than most regenerative agricultural modalities, takes thorough, constructive advantage of aligning with natural function (this is not just word salad lip service).

    Syntropic Agriculture has been developed from the work of Swiss-Brazilian botanist Ernst Gotsch, and his insight and observation of how living systems, particularly forests grow naturally. By mimicking these systems and applying them to agriculture, we are able to create beautiful, abundant, healthy farms that are 100% organic and regenerative in nature, with minimal external inputs.

    Following on from his presentation on the global “Wild Man” phenomena, in this talk researcher Byron Joel explores the fascinating topic of Homonid (modern Humans and their relatives) history in the Australasian and South East Asian regions. From Homo erectus in Java as long as 1 million years ago, the Hobbits of Flores, the Red Deer Cave People, the Denisovan DNA heritage within contemporary Australasian peoples and even the folklore describing mysterious non-sapiens hominids still living in the Australasian wilderness.
