The Harvest Series podcast, hosted by Rose Claverie, welcomes award-winning composer and music supervisor Justin Levine for a very special conversation that unfolds as much through sound as through words. Recorded in nature during Harvest, this episode blends music, reflection, and creative honesty.

Levine shares how creativity should exist beyond productivity, why vulnerability is essential in collaboration, and how major works like Moulin Rouge! are built through trust, humility, and collective vision. He also reflects on courage, leadership, and learning to let creativity exist without judgment.

What happens when we stop asking creativity to justify itself and allow it to simply be part of how we live?

Entrepreneur, ocean advocate, and co-founder of Aqua-Spark, Amy Novogratz joins Rose Claverie for a deeply moving conversation about the future of food, the health of our oceans, and the courage it takes to rebuild a life after crisis.

This episode of the Harvest Series podcast, hosted by Rose Claverie, features Daniel Barcay, Executive Director at the Center for Humane Technology. Recorded at Harvest in Kaplankaya, Turkey, the conversation explores how AI is reshaping society and what it means for our future.

Daniel reflects on lessons from the rise of social media, the dangers of addictive design, and why AI carries even greater stakes. He explains how AI impacts relationships, privacy, and decision-making, and why it could both empower humanity or destabilize it.

From emotional manipulation by AI companions to the risk of losing control when autonomous agents act in our world, this dialogue uncovers both urgent threats and inspiring opportunities. Ultimately, the discussion calls for awareness, policy, and responsible design — and for each of us to ask: are we using AI to become the people we want to be?
