Mark speaks to GG, who along with Anna, are fur parents of Lyka. Anna and GG started feeding GG home-prepared meals, and it turned around Lyka's health. They started a pet food - no, a pet wellness - company also called Lyka. And the rest is history! Lyka: Australia's only carbon negative dog food. There is no time to waste for climate action. The change happens with us and we are committed to helping the planet, one bowl at a time. That's right. No hidden agenda, no greenwashing – just the fact...

Wellness and sustainability and environmentalism, oh my. These communities have long histories of overlap with fascism, serving as breeding grounds for fascist demagogues, and fascist groups invariably have roots in traditionalism, populism, and purity - uncomfortable. We dive into these roots, the modern day manifestations, and what we can do to be aware of, and push back against, fascistic tendencies in the climate community. If you liked what Angelica had to say here about fascism, then you'l...

She lives at Australia's most well-known permaculture demonstration site, Melliodora , where she grows food, milks goats, builds soil and engages with the community - or, she did. Mark and Eav caught up with Brenna on her last day at Melliodora to talk about her art and illustration, her process, and Our Street , the new book for kids about permaculture that brings Retrosub...

One guest - two interviews. Jimmy Halfcut has been engaged in activism, organising, and fundraising for many years. Mark and Seán, hosts of two shows on the Climactic Collective, had back to back chats with Jimmy about the story of Halfcut, and the lessons he learnt on the way to finding the formulae to their success. Having a laugh, letting people have fun while engaging with serious topics like deforestation, and visual disruption all factor into the formula. Hear more chats with folks Mark an...

Coalitions, campaigning, determination and good old-fashioned organizing! Coalition members Belinda Haydon and Elinor Hasenfratz share their story.

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an independent non-profit which sets a standard for sustainable fishing. Mark and new Climactic member Eav talk to Matt Watson, Senior Fisheries Manager. Eav is a marine scientist by training, so has some great questions for Matt around the MSC approach to sustainable fisheries, an ecosystems approach. Mark - as an untrained enthusiast - wants to know how consumers can use the MSC tickmark on canned tuna to send fishing companies a message. It was great to...

Mark joined Daniel Bleakley on the steps of the Victorian Parliament for a chat about the past 7 days of his hunger strike, the global XR hunger strike, his methods and self-care through this experience, and much more. From Daniel; "Day 7. Seventh day of Extinction Rebellion Hunger strike. Starting to feel a bit weak but still focused. Today I'm continuing to request a meeting between members of the Andrews Government and a group of XR representatives to discuss our demands which are: That the G...
Costa's World has been hugely popular among kids, and it wasn't hard to see why when Costa and Dirt Girl performend live at the Ballarat Begonia Festival in 2018. The Festival was a month before Climactic launched, and host Mark had the chance to interview Costa and Dirt Girl, before really having any sense of the legends they were. They were absolutely gracious, and this became a great interview. But it would have languised without the help of new editor, Reece Gray, who gave it the time and at...
Doctor Richard di Natale is many things, beyond being a general practitioner and public health specialist. He's an Australian Senator in the Federal Government, and leader of the Australian Greens Party, a powerful third party. The Greens are a fascinating party with an amazing story, and this episode could easily have dived solely into politics, as Richard of course has a ringside perspective. But, instead of doing that, this is a conversation with a powerful politician about being a person, wh...
