The first episode of Fashion by Dad - the theme is fire. The rule is juxtaposition and oxymoron, the exception is it makes sense. In this episode, Man's Red Flower, the Mirror and the Light, Guy Fawkes, the Rechabites

Climate Events Combine to Drown Pakistan

Geoff discusses population. Why politicians insist on having more babies but no-one wants to talk about reducing it.

EcoRadio 2nd November 2022

Population in the Cage

Geoff is joined by number one daughter, Henrietta, who is cranky about property developers and the ninth law of Real Estate: Your housing development will be named after the feature it has destroyed. Geoff revives the fifteenth century lament: They hang the man and flog the woman who steal the goose from off the common. They let the common criminal loose, who steals the common, from the goose.

The Last Tree: in The Cage 221130

Geoff Interviews Sarah Pink about the implications of her research into how emerging technologies interface with everyday life and why she sees that as the locus of hope.

EcoRadio 221207

Hope and Hype in emerging tech

Geoff interviews Professor Sarah Pink about the work of the Emerging Technologies Lab at Monash University and how she finds hope and trust in the unpredictability of the future.

Relocating the Design of Emerging Technology

Geoff checks in on State Violence against protestors, quoting Hannah Arendt that the state resorts to violence as it loses its grip on power. He reflects on the role of media and how we create our own media while avoiding the tech-feudalism of social media.

TheCage221207 - Violet Coco

Geoff pauses the #doomscrolling in #TheCage to remember the #hazydays of summer. "Two men look out between the bars, one sees mud, the other ... stars." The unspoken joys of nature, memories of childhood, of children of great acts of kindness and creativity.

Summer in The Cage 14th December 2022

We talk a lot about community and grassroots resilience in The Cage, but greedy individuals cut across the fabric of community destroying the fibre of resilience. Luckily, sometimes, the law does what it is supposed to. In addition to the handful of environmental wins in Australian courts, one greedy individual met his come-uppance big-time when he tried to prevent his neighbours using an easement.

Greedy individuals face the law in The Cage

High tech billionaire neo-natalists, incel mass shooters and conservative anti-feminists all fear the slippage of power, the failure of fertility, and the loss of control. Not that we should forget that men dominate and kill for gratification rather than political gain.

There is too much of one thing at harvest time, so it pays to preserve it. This week Geoff, outlines the basics of #preserves fir #ylyp and #ecoradio. Details at https://ylyp.au/preserving-the-harvest/

Preserves (Songs of the Griots)

Baby it's hot out there. February is getting hotter and some plants just aren't geared to survive that heat. Especially  young plants that have been grown in a nursery or shade house. This week Geoff talks about shade and water to help young plants survive the heat wave

Surviving the Heatwave

It's harvest time. Make sure it's you that gets the fruit of your labour, rather than the rot, rats or other furry and flying things. Pick early and pick often. Protect your crop, and don't leave old fruit on the plant or the ground.
Go to https://ylyp.au for the detail

Getting in the Harvest

The magic of #compost. Take your kitchen scraps, #grassclippings and weeds and turn them into soil. Healthy #soil grows healthy plants producing healthy food to build healthy humans. 
Get composting. https://ylyp.au/compost-magic/
