Endgame

Stepping through a crack in the fabric of the universe, where the past and the future collide, Australian documentary maker Kyla Brettle starts to unravel the history of a small patch of bush near her home in Barkers Creek and finds herself in a much bigger story. Guided her children, an ecologist, a landcare volunteer and a local First Nation's Elder, Kyla digs into the connections between people and place and how the different ways we see an environment manifest in the world around us. for details - go to endgamepodcast.net/significant-roadside-area

Embracing the cactus - what stops us from taking the climate crisis into our hearts and hands - and what can happen when we do? You are not alone if you are worried about climate change but feel it’s too big a problem for you to do something about. 80% of Australians are concerned about the crisis - and here we all are; like kangaroos in the headlights. We risk peering into the dark and seeing the light - to dive into moments that ‘changed everything’ about how someone sees themselves in a climate changed world, we also hear from social researcher Dr Rebecca Huntley on what shapes public opinion about the crisis, and track our small town’s struggle to acknowledge we’ve got a climate problem.   For episode details go to www.endgamepodcast.net/close-to-home   Explore the Endgame website and subscribe to the Endgame Newsletter
