- Black Elephants and Black Swans
Discussing the knowns and unknowns of the COVID 19 pandemic and its impact on the Climate Emergency.....
In this episode (recorded via a Skype connection rather than our usual studio production in response to the guidance to limit travel and contact) we unpick what we can learn from the current Covid 19 pandemic. Could there be a possible green benefit when we emerge from the worst global health crisis for 100 years? Learn while you self isolate! Listen to Dr Ajay Gambhir and Alyssa Gilbert from Grantham Institute discuss all this and more.

Join Amanda as she explores with our expert guests Dr Tom Appleby and Dr Tom West what leaving the EU, its regulations and the jurisdiction of the European Courts might mean for the environment in the UK. Will we be like fish out of water? Will we have to swim against the tide? Will it open up a can of worms? Or will it help us find whole new ways to get to Net Zero? Listen in to what our experts have to say!

27 min - Flying high with Sacha Dench
“If you take care of birds, you take care of most of the environmental problems in the world.”
The words of Thomas Lovejoy and eminent biologist perfectly describe why Sacha Dench has soared with swans and now plans to fly with ospreys. In this episode in our 'Environmental Changemakers" series, Amanda finds out what has inspired Sacha to strap herself to her paramotor and take on the challenge of a 7000km expedition accompanying the osprey on its 2020 autumn migration across Europe and Africa.

28 min - Quicker, bigger, better!In this fifth episode in our Grantham series of podcasts looking at the challenges of getting to Net Zero, Professors Richard Templer and Peter Childs talk to Amanda about the role of innovation in helping us to deliver things to the market that have an impact in a timescale which is 10 times shorter and involving 10 times as many people than the Industrial Revolution - and doing this without making too many boo boos along the way! We discuss who has been thinking about what that takes and how we innovate the way we innovate.

43 min - On the road to net zero
Cars, trains, buses, planes.....what's the right way to travel to achieve net zero?
We kick off 2020 with Planet Pod's fourth episode in collaboration with the Grantham Institute which looks at the impact of travel and transport on climate change and our ability to achieve a net zero carbon economy by 2050. Amanda is joined by experts Dr Audrey de Nazelle and Dr Mark Stettler. We look at the intersection between environmental sciences, health behaviour, transportation, air quality and urban planning and consider what's the right route to get us to a net zero future.

42 min - PP In Conversation With: Steve Backshall
Explorer, adventurer, conservationist, campaigner.....
Our first guest for our "In Conversation With" series is all of the above (oh, and BAFTA-winning naturalist, writer and TV presenter as well!). Amanda talks with Steve Backshall to find out what has inspired him to want to protect the world's ecosystems and species. How can we shift the political dial and encourage countries to think beyond GDP and start measuring success by the quality of life for future generations? We explore the role of activism in all this and the importance of action based on evidence.

Listen into Planet Pod's election special as self-confessed eco maverick and activist Alex Gilbert and Amanda pick their way through the party manifesto commitments - is there hope or is it all hogwash and just how many trees a minute will Labour have to plant to meet their commitments?
