Podcasts
QUEER NATURE on Reclaiming Wild Safe Space -
For The Wild Podcast in conversation with Pinar and So Sinopoulos-Lloyd of Queer Nature which:
“…envisions and implements ecological awareness and place-based skills as vital and often overlooked parts of resiliency-building and enchantment-tending for populations who have been marginalized and even represented as 'unnatural.' Our curriculums strive to go beyond recreation in nature to deep, slow, and thoughtful engagement with the natural world to build inter-species alliances and an enduring sense of belonging for all.”
The Frontline Herbalism Podcast - by the Solidarity Apothecary.
“The Frontline Herbalism Podcast is a show for people who love plants and care about liberation. Plant knowledge, medicine making tips, interviews and advice on how to skill up to strengthen collective autonomy, self-defence and resilience to climate change, capitalism and state violence. Learning and inspiration from grassroots healthcare initiatives and frontline herbal projects worldwide.”
Dr. BAYO AKOMOLAFE on Coming Alive to Other Senses - For the Wild Podcast.
Dr. Bayo Akomolafe in conversation with Ayana Young, explores ways we might leave behind the ties that bind us to ways of understanding the world that do not serve humanity’s wholeness. Understanding justice as an action and not a static state, he asks “how can we embody it?”
“For the Wild is a slow media organization dedicated to land-based protection, co-liberation, and intersectional storytelling.”
