Episode Five of the Nature Bantz podcast welcomes Zoë Palmer. Her incredible work as an artist, writer and human ecologist spans live performance, installations and curated participatory events. Zoë’s work centres on underrepresented narratives and knowledge through a decolonial lens.

We discuss the intersection of the arts, health and ecology and what happens when they collide. How combining nature connection with the arts can help us cope during these increasingly challenging times. Plus how nature can help us unleash our radical imaginations to combat climate change.

We are thrilled to welcome Hirra to our Nature Bantz podcast. Hirra is Head of Car Free Cities, the landmark programme by Possible, a climate action charity. 

In this episode Hirra helps us to understand more about why we should ditch the private car for short trips in urban centres. We discuss why cities will benefit from increased active travel, and the policy shift required to get society out of this carbon emissions traffic-jam, as millions more vehicles join the roads.

Kwesia aka City Girl in Nature is Season 4’s first guest. And girl… are we glad to be back. From the streets of Lewisham to the jungles of Peru landing back in the big city, YouTube star Kwesia is a true inspiration.

Her ethos is centred around the natural world and her love of nature extends to hosting day trips, walks, workshops and talks to engage people from the city with nature. In Kwesias words, ‘Nature is all around us and within us’.

On this episode of Nature Bantz we’re talking to British-Chinese multimedia journalist and budding author, Lu-Hai Liang. We chatted about hiking in Beijing (Lu-Hai lived there for six years), as well as nature connection and technology, and how virtual reality and gaming can inspire exploration and help you to appreciate nature.

Due to the pandemic, we’re still recording lo-fi for Season 3 so please excuse any background noise as we are working from the comfort and safety of our own homes. You may hear the odd barking dog, clinking cup of tea or birds twittering away.
