As part of the 'Earthcycle' Swan Project we have produced three podcasts in collaboration with our friends at Stratford Literary Festival (https://www.stratfordliteraryfestival.co.uk/).
Our first podcast features writer, internationally-renowned climate activist and winner of the Orwell Prize for Journalism George Monbiot, (https://www.monbiot.com/) who discusses the impact of UK farming practices on nature extinction. Writer, producer and presenter Madeleine Finlay (https://www.madeleinefinlay.com/) (author of 'Beetles for Breakfast') has recorded two episodes for children of primary school age. The podcasts encourage small changes to adapt to the climate change crisis, showing the value of connecting to the natural world.
