About This Podcast

We interview people who are working to protect, or are working in harmony, with the Australian environment. Focusing on the island of lutruwita Tasmania, we tell stories of people and place, exploring hard-fought campaigns, in-depth ecological research, community care and science communication. We ask nature-driven folks who they are, what they’re learning, how it all ties into the bigger picture and what we can do to curb our eco-anxiety and make some small steps towards a better world. We can't wait to share these stories with you!
