Actress Nat Kelley joins us today for a chat about her indigenous roots and growing up in Sydney.  She was born in Peru and experienced her own struggles growing up.

However she learned quickly how to find her tribe and now uses her voice as an actress to give voice to indigenous communities. 

Nat, known for her role as Neela in the 2006 action film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and for her roles in various TV series including Body of Proof, Unreal, The Vampire Diaries, Dynasty and The Baker and the Beauty, also explained that she feels Burning Man has work to do to be fully environmentally friendly and she took part in a climate protest there last summer. 

She sits on the Board of netflix film, Kiss The Ground, which will soon have a sequel. 

Nat spent time on the farms of ibiza when she was here last summer and is a keen ambassador for the regenerative agriculture scene on the island and worldwide. 

Ever wondered where those pre-party night drinks should take place in Ibiza Town?

Jo and her guest Rosa of Vino Y Co take you on a whistle stop tour of Dalt Vila in today´s episode and their plans don´t quite go according to...well plan, after some rather fine french cocktails.

The pair commence at a Bar De Vin aka Marjorelle in the old town and after some "Barbie Snacks" in true girly form, they attempt to make their way in high heels, down to Mexican street food hang out,  Chidas.

The plan was to hit new bar, Room Service and finish at Lost Paradise, but the Margaritas went down a little but too well on a hot July night and you will have to listen to find out how the night ended!

Rosa also shares her story and passion for Sake, what it takes to be a somellier and how best to avoid a summer hangover.

Huge thanks to Chidas, whose co-owner Andres is offering us a little dinner for two to give away, if you share the latest post on The Reset Rebel acc in your stories and tag us and @chidas_bar.cantina.

Phat Phil Cooper has been an island resident since just before the pandemic.

But his heart has been Balearic for much longer than that with regular visits to the island on and off since the 1990,  meaning he struck up friendships with some of the great sunset sound trackers of the islands time, like Jose Padilla.

Phil owns the NuNorthern Soul label and his latest musical project that he is looking to create  is inspired by the sweeping poem ‘Cofio’ by the great Welsh poet Waldo Williams.

It is one that has forged a closeness between his Ibiza-based
record label and the Welsh DJ, performer and cultural
commentator Gareth Potter, composer and musician Joan Bibiloni,
poet and actor Pep Tosar Vaquer, actor Rhys Ifans and musician James Baron.

Each of the players has a unique contribution within the plans that will be released to mark Balearic day next Spring.

In todays episode Phil shares the full details of his idea,  some new musical plans and a documentary, feel free to get in touch with Phil Via His instagram.

Ultra-endurance athlete and clean seas activist Neil Agius landed in Ibiza yesterday after deciding to voluntarily abandon his world record crossing from mallorca after suffering multiple jellyfish stings.

He encountered a swarm of jellyfish around the 46 km mark of the crossing in the
Mallorca-Ibiza channel at around 01:00 am.

After almost four hours, several stings and several attempts to resume the crossing, Agius's stings were too agonising for him to carry on his 100 mile swim to raise awareness of the UN treaty of the high seas.

It is the first-ever legally binding global agreement of its kind and  provides a framework for environmental protections to biodiversity in international waters — which cover over 60% of the Earth's surface.

Only 1.2% of the world's ocean areas are currently protected which he says it is not enough. 

We caught up for a quick conversation  overlooking Dalt Vila and the World Unesco Heritage site that is also named due to  "the dense prairies of oceanic Posidonia (seagrass), an important endemic species found only in the Mediterranean basin, contain and support a diversity of marine life."   

As we gazed over the Marine protected areas of Els Freus Marine Reserve which covers more than 13,000 hectares between the islands of Ibiza and Formentera, he admitted aborting the swim was not an east decision, "It is very sad to see all the hard work we put into this challenge come to such a premature conclusion.  I felt strong and ready to complete the journey, but fate had other plans."

Neil says this is far from the end of his plans and will try again, probably next year.

In 1983 todays guest was invited to ibiza for a visit to see family.
40 Years later he is still here and has four sons.
Vaughn got a job dancing on the podiums of the island shortly after arriving and found his outlandish dress sense and wild style enabled him to fully express himself.
He was abandoned in Chelsea as a baby and adopted by aristocrat parents who brought him into their family and gave him a privileged upbringing.
Vaughn says he felt at home in the funky room at Pacha, after the usual club rooms became less about the music and more about being seen and photographed.
He holds a strict no filming policy in place for his nights at the ibiza super club which has its roots firmly in the birth of Balearic music.
The Funky room re-opens this weekend and his first gig at Akasha takes place on Sunday with previous podcast guest Jon Sa Trinxa.

Our next ibiza Podcast Course is 19 and 20th June
