Her long road out of this situation came via the unlikely path of mushroom cultivation, and she now teaches thousands of people across the world - and in particular other vulnerable young women in Zimbabwe - how to grow mushrooms, as a way of gaining some autonomy in their lives.Later we talk about growing mushrooms at home with keen mushroom grower, forager and educator Nick Ritar of Milkwood.

    Why are Melbourne apartment complexes so expensive and soulless? What can we learn from Germany and the Netherlands, and from the few interesting projects around Melbourne to have cheaper, more liveable and less environmentally destructive buildings? Our wonderful guests exploring this topic are Katherine Sundermann, an Associate at MGS Architects and Assemble Papers, and Andy Fergus, an Urban Designer at the City of Melbourne. They mention 'deliberative development' models in which a group of intending owner-occupiers work with funders and architects to build it their way, rather than going through a property developer. Here's a recent article from Katherine and Andy: Learning from Berlin: lessons for emerging collective housing.

  • Greening the Apocalypse - 13 September 2016

    13/09/2016 Duração: 41min

    Humans have been making use of fire for around a million years, but what if we've been doing it wrong? In the first half of the episode we talk how to do it right, with rocket stoves and biochar, with appropriate technologist Joel Meadows. Where there is smoke there is fire, but the reverse need not be true says Joel. Smoke is merely inefficiently burnt wood, and all those coughs, cancers and deforestation through the eons were sadly for nought. Rocket stoves are almost smokeless and can be built from scrap. In the second half of the show we talk with climate scientist Professor David Karoly. He and fellow Climate Change Authority member Professor Clive Hamilton recently released an unprecedented Minority Report arguing that the Authority's latest majority report is politicised and its recommendations lead towards dangerous warming rather than minimising climate change.
