  • Possible Revolutionary Futures - Eric Holthaus
    Jun 24 2025

    We are witnessing revolution, and that’s what this episode is about: witnessing, in the form of journalism, and revolution, in the form of climate justice that is interconnected with social justice.

    Guest Eric Holthaus is a meteorologist, a climate journalist, and the author of The Future Earth: A Radical Vision for What's Possible in the Age of Warming. Rolling Stone called him the rebel nerd of meteorology. He lives in Minnesota and, as he says, has really gotten into birding in his 40s.

    Against a backdrop of interconnected struggles, we are seeing great humanity and great inhumanity. For every leader who lacks courage, millions of regular people are showing conviction and bravery. For every tyrant who cracks down with oppression and violence, with the great weight of extractive systems and aggressive power behind them, there are millions more who are leaving their screens and their homes to stand up for what they believe in.

    In this conversation, we get into life after capitalism, radical stewardship, and the links between genocide, fossil fuels, power and money. There is a balance between grim realities and possibility, between grief and imagination. This is a conversation about revolution, the state of climate journalism, community, and many possible futures.

  • [Replay] A Collective Climate Justice Movement for Dark Times - Tori Tsui
    Jun 17 2025

    Collective action can lead to real, tangible victories, like halting an offshore oil project proposed by Big Oil, reminding us that collectives of people have the power to challenge destructive and powerful forces. Instead of the individualistic, lonely, consumerism-heavy environmentalism that claimed centre stage in the pasttelling us we are guilty for the worsening climate impact and we need to solve it all alonethe collective climate justice movement encourages us to turn towards each other.

    Guest Tori Tsui is a Bristol-based climate justice activist, organiser, writer and speaker from Hong Kong. You might have seen her on the cover of Vogue with a host of young environmental leaders and Billie Eilish, on panels like one hosted by Emma Watson at the New York Times Climate Hub, or in Instagram posts with inspiring activist friends like Mya-Rose Craig, Greta Thunberg, Daphne Frias, and Dominique Palmer. Tori is one of the wise, outspoken, and youthful leaders of a collective climate justice movement that is expanding environmentalism, intellectually, philosophically, equitably, and emotionally. Her recent debut book, It’s Not Just You, explores the intersections between climate change and mental health from a climate justice perspective.

    The climate justice movement shows us how taking care of the Earth does not have to mean the death of our mental health, requiring non-stop urgent action and burnout. Instead, activists like Tori remind us that climate action is lifelong work, requiring rest, mutual care, and joy. This conversation reveals concrete steps for creating welcoming, nuanced, and flexible spaces that allow for imperfection and conviction. It provides wise reflections on successful movement building and sustaining, and shows how recent wins have been accomplished by collective-minded organizing that is required for these dark times.

  • Courageous Conversations for Democracy - Jane Porter
    Jun 11 2025

    Democracy is under threat—an erosion that is deeply connected to the breakdown of a shared truth, of civility, of conversation. The ruptures feel permanent and impossible to repair. When we deeply disagree with people over the high stakes issues we face, courageous conversations can be a powerful way to find common ground. Prioritizing relationships and connection can potentially prevent pushing people into more extreme views and communities.

    Courageous conversations can also be very difficult. Sometimes the space between opinions and realities is too far, such as when having a good faith conversation is not safe or will cause harm. When should we concede, and when should we fight?

    Guest Jane Porter is the co-founder and President of Bridge Building Group, where she leads a growing network committed to healing divides and driving meaningful change. A sought-after facilitator, she brings clarity and momentum to high-stakes conversations. For over 15 years, she’s helped leaders across sectors tackle complex issues like Indigenous climate leadership, plastic reduction, and responsible resource extraction. Her recent TEDx Talk explores bridge building for democracy.

    This conversation is about listening in a divided world, rather than shouting or shutting down. It is about choosing love rather than fear. We talk about knowing which issues matter about us and being able to speak out about them, even when it is uncomfortable or comes at a cost.

  • [Replay] Our Tenderness Needs to Match the Brutality - Kerri ní Dochartaigh
    Jun 3 2025

    We are midwives of a transformation, in a time of crisis and grief. Now is a moment to find our most expansive definitions of motherhood, nature, and ancestry in order to equip us for this moment. This episode of Reseed explores mothering in these times of ours, writing through emergency, a ceasefire in Palestine, and the power of togetherness.

    Kerri ní Dochartaigh is an Irish mother, writer, and grower. Her work explores ideas of emergency, interconnectedness and ecologies of care. For her first book, Thin Places, she was awarded the Butler Literary Award 2022, and highly commended for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2021 in the UK. Cacophony of Bone was longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. Kerri is currently actively engaged with Irish Artists for Palestine, a coalition of artists focused on active solidarity and fundraising.

    This conversation invites us to bear witness to the grief, atrocities, and brutalities of the genocide in Palestine and say not in our name. As we grapple with these horrors, we are called to bring our deepest reserves of tenderness and remember our deep love for each other.

  • Fire, Food, Futuresteading - Jade Miles, Black Barn Farm
    May 27 2025

    Fire, food, and the future come together in this conversation about relearning forgotten skills we need in the modern world. We explore permaculture, regenerative farming, seeds, and cycles, as well as six seasons of activities that people can do to nourish, create, feast, ritualize, and localize.

    Jade Miles is a regenerative heritage fruit farmer. Together with her husband and three kids, Jade runs Black Barn Farm, a biodiverse orchard, nursery and workshop space in Northeast Victoria, Australia. She is the author of Futuresteading: Live like tomorrow matters and Huddle: Wisdom, skills and recipes for building a tomorrow of togetherness. Jade’s podcast Futuresteading has 150 episodes spanning 10 seasons. She’s an active presence in the regenerative space, hosting school programs, permaculture and homesteading workshops – all in the name of reconnecting people to nature, food and a simpler existence.

    This conversation is about challenging an anesthetized numbness, to instead living differently through embracing old and new skills, building community, and cultivating mutual aid. We are not designed to be cogs in an industrialized machine but rather we are a custodial species.

  • Mental Health Healing in the Woods - Jarod K. Anderson
    May 6 2025

    Modernity lets us be comfortable in isolation, and can make it difficult for us to turn towards nature and community. Many of us struggle with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression—and nature can help us heal. It can be helpful to see how our brains and internal worlds are a worthy part of the natural world.

    Guest Jarod K. Anderson is the Ohio-based author of Something in the Woods Loves Me, which explores his lifelong struggle with depression through a lens of love and gratitude for the natural world. He is also the host of the The CryptoNaturalist podcast, a scripted show about real adoration for fictional wildlife, and the author of three best-selling collections of nature poetry, collectively known as The Haunted Forest Trilogy.

    Jarod and Alice Irene have a beautiful conversation about wavering and restored mental health. They talk about everything from the perils of social media, to the big tent of “nerd” that holds space for many people, to the success of Pokemon in inspiring young naturalists. This conversation explores letting go of shame, finding worth, balancing courage with care—and going to wild places with no agenda.

  • Learning to be Lionhearted - Leah Thomas
    Apr 22 2025

    Watershed moments call for big changes. One of these shifts has been underway for some time: the righteous, individualistic, and exclusive environmentalism of the past is being steadily reimagined with an environmental movement that is characterized by joy, creativity, and authenticity. People are welcomed for being themselves and are invited to join where they are at, whether or not sustainability is what draws them to practices like mending or activism. This environmentalism will also be intersectional.

    Guest Leah Thomas is an award-winning L.A.-based environmentalist and author of The Intersectional Environmentalist. Leah is a passionate advocate for the often-overlooked intersection between social justice, environmentalism, and culture, and her work is shaped by eco-feminism. She coined the term “intersectional environmentalism” in an Instagram post that quickly went viral in May 2020 amidst the widespread Black Lives Matter protests and calls for racial justice. She was recognized on Forbes 30 Under 30 List and TIME100, spoke on prestigious stages like TED, appeared in features in outlets like The Washington Post, and writes for publications like Vogue.

    This is the first episode of Reseed’s fourth season which explores how to be lionhearted—how to act with courage, from the heart. Conversations explore being ready for this tumultuous, many-headed moment with physical preparation, strong community ties, sacred spiritual practices, and emotional resilience.

    Whether we like it or not, these are our times. We were made for these times. We need to be lionhearted.

  • [Replay] Rewriting Wildness - J. Drew Lanham
    Feb 7 2025

    What does wildness mean to us when it is defined not by a few people, but rewritten for all of us?

    This episode of Reseed revisits the history of conservation to explore its dark corners, going beyond nipping off the buds and leaves to dig at its roots, unearthing information about those who are credited with founding Western conservation. A new conservation can be inclusive and accessible to all people while also protecting ecosystems and animals, like birds.

    Guest J. Drew Lanham is an ornithologist, wildlife ecologist, poet, professor, author, and lover of birds. He is the author of Sparrow Envy: Field Guide to Birds and Lesser Beasts and The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature, which received the Reed Award from the Southern Environmental Law Center and the Southern Book Prize, and was a finalist for the John Burroughs Medal. He has published essays and poetry in publications including Orion and Audubon.

    Poetry, birds, soil, conservation, and deep questions braid together in this thoughtful and lyrical conversation, which looks at how care for humans, nature, and animals are all connected and embedded into our humanity.
