Wild will be taking a pause for a few weeks over the summer period and we’ll be running a bunch of my favourite episodes that you might have missed along the way.

I’ve chosen this chat with poet Bayo Akomalafe because it is DENSE with advice for complex times, times in which humanity struggles to encapsulate things with tidy answers. Bayo riffs in this ep with the most uplifting advice for “relaxing into our entanglement with the world” and joining the chaos. Forever timely.

Happy Christmas slash school holidays slash summer break if you’re in Australia, etc.

SHOW NOTES

You can connect with Bayo via his website and Twitter 

Here is the poem I ask Bayo to read out 

And here is the essay What Climate Collapse Asks of Us 

He references Ursula K Le Guin’s book The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
