Planthropology Podcast
Whether you’re a vegan, a carnivore or somewhere in between, plants are the basis of the food we all eat, the clothes we all wear and the air we all breathe. From the soil to the plate to the climate, dive into the anthropology of plants and learn why we all need to care a little more about the world around us.
Homeless Romantic
Not strictly a podcast about sustainability, but Chris Jeffries’ conversations with people from all walks of life has plenty to pique the interest of Pip’s readers. Things like rethinking agriculture with Axel Anders and living life with intent from Sea Shepherd’s Gert Vons, through to the truth about melting sea ice with climate scientist Julienne Stroeve.
Wild Edible World
A foraging podcast that dives into all of the amazing untamed flavours you can find trailside, curbside and low tide; where the best food is free. The weekly podcast discusses wild plants with the people that eat them all around the world. Its goal is to share knowledge to foragers, but also reduce the stigma surrounding wild edible plants.
