Lizz from Wild Mountains chats with Geoff, Dave and Issy about her 6,000km (is that 6Mm?) trek from the Border Ranges on the East Coust, to the Ningaloo Reef on the West Coast to connect communities to nature.

Banook Balouch (Lady Balouch) joins Dave and Geoff on EcoRadio to discuss the protests in Iran and the plight of the Balouch people

High tech billionaire neo-natalists, incel mass shooters and conservative anti-feminists all fear the slippage of power, the failure of fertility, and the loss of control. Not that we should forget that men dominate and kill for gratification rather than political gain.

Geoff reflects on the edge of reality and the role of paranoia in survival and sanity. How does privacy become paranoia? Why are bullies so paranoid? How does paranoia spread?

We talk a lot about community and grassroots resilience in The Cage, but greedy individuals cut across the fabric of community destroying the fibre of resilience. Luckily, sometimes, the law does what it is supposed to. In addition to the handful of environmental wins in Australian courts, one greedy individual met his come-uppance big-time when he tried to prevent his neighbours using an easement.

Geoff pauses the #doomscrolling in #TheCage to remember the #hazydays of summer. "Two men look out between the bars, one sees mud, the other ... stars." The unspoken joys of nature, memories of childhood, of children of great acts of kindness and creativity.

Geoff checks in on State Violence against protestors, quoting Hannah Arendt that the state resorts to violence as it loses its grip on power. He reflects on the role of media and how we create our own media while avoiding the tech-feudalism of social media.
