1:27:02

Yarn with JMB trying to make sense of the marketplace of nature-based and Indigenous Knowledge-informed alternative economies and finance, in light of the rapidly changing global landscape at this fraught inflection point in history.

2:19:43

The Viking Yarns are back! Rune Rasmussen in our most coherent yarn yet. I must have needed the break. I was tired as hell. Anyway, the phrase that sticks out for me is about new-ageism as 'European self-colonising whiteness'. Some deadly Viking serpent Lore as well.

1:28:48

Gabriella Romero and Nkwi Flores from Amazon Andes First Peoples talk about the embassy we're making with eucalypts in diaspora, Indigenous borderwork, kinmaking and migration. And the poxy US elections.

Apologies for so long between episodes.

9M ago1:35:41

1:35:41

A wanjau (collective sensemaking yarn) with JMB, Tyson and Josh from IKSLab, tying together 3 years of work in regenerative finance design. How can bioregional, relational economies and currencies be established without being backed by potential extractive activity on the land, or real estate as capital, or the ponzi scheme vacuums of crypto? How c…

10M ago21:45

21:45

Walking country, reading the land and the flows and feeling what these sentient systems want to create with us, and it's all fabulous, but we're not listening to women the same way, and the land won't speak to us fully until we get that right.

Mycelium Fandom 1:18:50

11M ago1:18:50

1:18:50

Rishikes Siva takes biomimicry to the next level with Lunar Punk rhizomatic riffs, and we weave through arboretal IK at the margins of regenerative sexiness, while the brains of Elders are uploaded to the clouds and we wait to see what that rain will look like (while a tiny part of me dies inside). If more than half of that didn't make sense to you…

Mongrelling the Borders 1:37:49

11M ago1:37:49

1:37:49

Wanted to yarn with Roma, Scots, Native American, Aboriginal, queer, neuro-divergent, unhoused and trans folks about fluid border work facilitating norms of access, and about finding identity in ancestral paths rather than homelands, since global populations are becoming increasingly itinerant. But that panel would be complicated and boring, as mos…

Thought experiment: what would it take to naturalise money in the biosphere, in the same way that invasive plants and animals can come into harmony with ecosystems over time and with good custodianship of land?

Radical Fringe Dwellers 42:10

1+ y ago42:10

42:10

I've recorded more on this topic (medical disinformation) this month, but the platform AI keeps taking it down - probably because of keywords and the incapacity of machines to know the difference between bunk and debunk. Anyway, my recent research has led me to believe that those radicalised online may be experiencing a similar ontological and psyc…

There is more to the disinformation being deployed in Australia's referendum (for an Indigenous voice to parliament) than meets the eye. This episode is something of a diatribe.
