This is the 60th Climate Resilience Podcast. Yippee for us!

Welcome where ever you are. Thanks for listening in. We've been checking the stats and it looks like we've got more listeners in Singapore than anywhere else in the world, so extra special greetings to you.

On this podcast we talk about all sorts of things related to climate breakdown and what people are doing to try to combat it. We try to get a wide variety of guests who we hope you will find interesting.

On this podcast we've got Jeremy Williams who talks about his book Climate Change is racist, Kim Stoddart about her book The Climate Change Gardener , Geoscientist Hazel Beaumont and Kate Miles from the DPJ Foundation who support Welssh farmers in crisis.

Until next time, please enjoy this wonderful world.

This is the 59th Climate Resilience podcast and my name is Jim Bowen.

Welcome wherever you are.

If you've listened to earlier shows you'll see things are a bit different now. For the first thing, we've got a backing track, but more important than that I've no longer got a show on Cardigan Internet Radio because it has shut down.

Bobby, who set it up in the first place hopes to reopen soon, but at the moment it is no more and that is a great shame. Local radio is so important being corporate free and its a free space to talk about stuff without pressure.

Long live Cardigan Internet Radio!

Anyway, I've now got a show that goes out once a month on Pure West Radio which is based in Haverfordwest. I am grateful for the chance to talk about climate breakdown at 9am on a Sunday, beamed straight into people's breakfast table which is not the usual sort of time of day to talk about such things, so that's ace, but Pure West is partly funded by Big Oul which limits what we can say live on the show.

The podcast is a bit freer...and here we are.

So on this podcast we talk about all sorts of things related to climate breakdown and what people are doing to combat it. We've tried to get a wide variety of guests who we hope you will find interesting. On the radio there is music too, but not on the podcast, so when we talk about a song coming up please hum along a bit to get the real feel for what the show was like when it went out live.

This is show 59 and features interviews with Dr Michael Shakhib from the University of Wales's faculty of Engineering in Swansea, and Kwame Salam of the Tonic Surf Therapy which works out of the beaches of west Wales. Both are mates of mine and really good folk.

This show features:

1. Interviews with growers and attendees at the Caerhys Organic Farm CSA Harvest Party
2. Conversation with Philippa Gibson, one of the organisers of the Cardigan Extinction Rebellion Climate Matters event in the Small World Theatre on 9th September
3. An interview with Jonathan Tiller of Trees for the Future which is based in Nevern, north Pembrokeshire.

This episode features a conversation with Mary Ellen from Disable People against the Cuts recorded in the Green Futures Field at Glastonbury Festival 2023.

Of all the interviews we've done, this is perhaps the most urgent as Mary Ellen talks about the government's shameful program of eugenics.

Do listen in, and if you can, please help

This show features:

1. An interview with the Abbey Shakespear Company about community arts and the relevance of Sheakspear to us all today.
2. The search for new climate-friendly Church of Wales bishop for St Davids 
3. Conversation with Ben Ferguson, co-executive director of Community Energy Wales
4. Conersation with the Director of Visit Pembrokeshire about tourism today and its future for Pembrokeshire

This week we talk about three very different (but inherantly linked) subjects:

1. The illegal mining at Ffos y Fran coal mine near Merthyr and the community activists who are trying to stop it,
2. With Martyn Buck, the co-director of Ben Elton's play 'Gasping' which is being performed by the Newcastle Emlyn Attic Theatre
3. With Heather from FareShareCymru, who are getting unwanted food to the people who need it most. 

This is the first of three shows full of interviews from Glastonbury Festival 2023's Green Futures Field:

Mark from the Chapel of Unrest, Rockaway Park near Bristol, Woody who is a member of the Extinction Rebellion Art Blocker Team, and Anna and Holly who are part of the Big Head Climate Activist Crew.

This week we focus on the work of the British Hen Welfare Trust and then we talk with local artists and activists Rhowan Alleyne and Titus Sharp about our rivers, the sea and the role of the community artists. 

There is no link between these two subjects....or is there!?!
