My name is Alfie Devine-Wright and I decided to go ahead and make a podcast! The aim is to learn, through fascinating conversations, with a range of inspiring and thought-provoking guests. The podcast focuses on politics and the environment... but may include other interesting topics! I would like it to both ‘start the conversation’ and provide some interesting ideas/solutions to the problems of our time.

Financial cost is often sighted as a barrier to a net-zero transition. I spoke to the expert economist, Dimitri Zenghelis, to investigate if this was really the case. We discussed whether 'green growth' is possible, the usefulness of GDP, and what policy actions can lead us to a better world.

A fascinating conversation with the insightful Prof Julie MacArthur on the role of capitalism in our climate crisis. This wide-ranging discussion explores everything from how indigenous Māori people view nature to the green new deal. And asks, what does it mean to take the power back?
