1:07:43

Collette Dinnigan has a storied history as one of Australia’s must successful fashion designers. Ever. But that’s just one chapter of her creative life. Her adventurous spirit and love of colour, fabric and proportion make total sense in the context of her childhood. In the mid 70s, her father built a yacht and set sail from Durbin, South Africa fo…

Episode 8 - Crimes against Humanity? 20:42

6d ago20:42

20:42

We got left and right wing nuts this week - as the heat pump rumble, rumbles on and I’m accused of all manner of things. The UN issues a stark warning ‘apocalypse this century’ looks nailed on. With the Budget coming, we talk about making tax more fair. Water companies continue to outrage, their apocalypse is surely just around the corner. All with…

1:16:29

Born in the small town of Hastings, New Zealand, Derek grew up in a working-class family with limited financial means and modest aspirations.

This serendipitou…

Episode 7 - A One Man Drax 22:40

15d ago22:40

22:40

The Monbiot episode? Well, it was hard to avoid some mention of the extraordinary attacks, sparked by my public comments on Heat Pumps. Our school dinner campaign has bled over (wrong choice of words?) into the NHS - I’ve been advocating for more tax (again) and then we talk Drax (the actual one) and the bonkers plans of the last government to buy …

Episode 6 - Things can only get Badder... 21:44

29d ago21:44

21:44

This week we talk Regicide, Hurricanes, Football, Climate Villains (and tax exiles) and news giving us reason to maybe co opt that old right wing saw “what about China?”. Then we get to the serious stuff, listener questions and we have fish on the beach, cows in the room, grid fairies and zero carbon flying (no fairy tale that) - and X rated corner…

Designing interactive art with Jason Bruges 1:17:42

22d ago1:17:42

1:17:42

In some families, the parents’ DNA instructs so clearly the way their children think and work that it’s impossible to deny the familial impact. Jason Bruges is the product of just this. His dad was a software and computer engineer, and his mother a trained artist. Both influenced where and how he came to be a multidisciplinary artist and designer. …

Episode 5 - Big Dirty Salmon 18:42

1M ago18:42

18:42

Cracking episode... We kick off with the Tory party conference - just another episode in the saga of the race to lead the zombie party. We celebrate the end of coal in the UK, although the joy’s somewhat dampened by a big gamble on Carbon Capture. In 'non-news', we have fossil fuel companies not investing in green... Our undercover team’s been busy…

Designing a retail revolution with Felicity McGahan 1:04:14

1M ago1:04:14

1:04:14

In today’s economy, people are more considerate about what they’ll spend money on, retailers have to fight to hold or grow their market share. If there’s one person who knows this better than most, and will be the first to step into the ring, it’s Felicity McGahan. McGahan is the Group CEO of STRAND, the Australian handbags and luggage retailer, wh…

Episode 3 - Thatcher, the milk snatcher 20:54

2M ago20:54

20:54

This week - An ex government minister says some crazy stuff and goes toe to toe with Nige for the right wing nut award - while an actual government minister says something crazy but true. The nuttiest project from the Tory years gets the High Court boot and the implications of that are big. Look out, Rosebank... We reflect on the good things Thatch…

Episode 2 - Life's A Gas 18:20

2M ago18:20

18:20

In this one, we’ve got methane – a bit of a climate villain and another reason to ditch the cow. Right-wing nuts are back – Trump and his leading acolyte on this side of the pond, both vying for top spot. And vegan dogs and cats – who knew? Even vets admit they live longer, healthier lives. Green populism gets a run out in the US as a way to engage…

Our new season kicks off and we talk about the title, what it might have been and why it is what it is.

Nithiyendran is a Sri Lankan born contemporary artist whose work is often described as bold, hyperbolic, exaggerated and …

Designing brands that endure with Sean Perkins 1:01:40

2M ago1:01:40

1:01:40

Some people take a lifetime to find their true north, the thing they want to spend their days working on. That’s not the case for Sean Perkins. Growing up in South Yorkshire in the 70s, it wasn’t cool to get good grades. Even though he was smart, he flunked almost everything. Everything, but art. From a young age he was exposed to, “the future, all…

The Series 5 Wrap-Up 19:10

3M ago19:10

19:10

It’s been a crazy ride this series - blessed with an abundance of right wing nuts, we explored all manner of craziness, not least from Sunak and co (remember him? Nah us neither). The series spanned Dale’s time immersed in the summer of Just Stop Oil, the vital pivot to Just Stop the Tories (to de fang the right wing media) all the way up to our el…

Designing brands that Never Sit Still with Mike Tosetto 1:05:08

3M ago1:05:08

1:05:08

Not every path to success is a straight one. Mike Tosetto knows this firsthand. From growing up in Sydney’s Inner West as a skate kid who took photos with a disposable camera of the local street art — or, as her calls it, ‘mad graph’ — to living out back for two years at Ayres Rock Resort, to playing didgeridoo on stage at the Glastonbury music fes…

3M ago29:06

29:06

We close out our ‘Just Stop the Tories’ season, live from WOMAD (festival). With a drive-by look back at the origins of that phrase and its realisation - Labour’s mammoth win and rapid policy moves. We also explore ‘green on green,’ a phenomenon from the election that appears to have legs. Are Labour green, or are they not? We share anecdotes about…

Designing climate resilience with Elizabeth Mossop & Dan Etheridge 1:02:31

3M ago1:02:31

1:02:31

Hurricane Katrina and the Northern Rivers Floods may have happened over a decade apart and on opposite sides of the world. But the disasters have a lot in common. New Orleans and Lismore found themselves caught in the eye of the storm when the cities, both located for prosperity around a major waterway but on compromised ground, were inundated by w…

Episode 44 - Going, going, gone 17:47

4M ago17:47

17:47

The Tories have been stopped, Labour wastes no time, and we look at a bit of green-on-green action. Dale's feeling the pressure for a new name, NIMBYs in the firing line, and another eco-activist in the dock as we ask - why are the good guys getting banged up? Another temperature record, windmills with no gears, what has Ian learned in 5 years of d…

The Tory party leader merry-go-round continues unabashed, and we need a new seas…

This week, we’ve got Newsnight behind the scenes, Reform’s not-manifesto, Farage being ‘stitched up’, and a GB News apology in the dead of night. While we run a calculator over Cameron’s infamous ‘cut the green crap’ period, there’s a new development on the popcorn front, and we look at the idea of vegan ghettos… all with a sprinkling of fab listen…

Designing independent magazine culture with Jeremy Leslie 1:09:02

5M ago1:09:02

1:09:02

In the 80s, Stiff Records, the British independent Punk Rock and New Wave record label, had an open-door policy. You could walk in and pick up posters, stickers and pin badges most days of the week. Jeremy Leslie was one of the kids doing just that. He’d catch the bus over to Notting Hill from the London College of Design to visit the shop. Origina…

Episode 39 - Popcorn and nuts... 21:39

5M ago21:39

21:39

This week, Europe has outbreaks, but our right wing nut in the chair is from the unreformed party (it’s proper nutty). We talk elections as ‘Two Fleets’ Sunak launches the manifesto we all knew was coming, and we look at the $41 trillion the world just spent on the climate. We talk dangerous food, McDonald's, ice cream, and the four big industries …

Episode 38 - A tale of two sausages 17:24

5M ago17:24

17:24

Spoilt this week by an abundance of right-wing nuttery - headlined by Tice claiming ‘it was the sun wot did it.’ We try desperately not to mention Coutinho (and fail), but it was a Godzilla-sized solar farm that that did for us. We talk paratroopers with passports, part of Farage’s legacy, as he parachutes into the election (and Tice’s chair). This…

Designing People Architecture with Domenic Alvaro 1:13:26

5M ago1:13:26

1:13:26

You could argue a lot of kids grow up with a love of drawing. This one knew he wanted to be an architect in high school. When his older brother brought home some Rotring pens, it all clicked. Domenic Alvaro is the Director and Global Design Leader at Woods Bagot, one of the world’s leading architecture firms. Drawing is a huge part of his professio…

Having a knock-out creative career five decades long is one thing. Setting up a charity to inspire the same creativity in the next generations is another.

6M ago17:43

17:43

This week kicks off with our fave - the right wingnuts… There’s a legal update and we talk about Rees-Mogg, the posh man’s Julia Hartley-Brewer, and his claims so wildly untrue they’re almost laughable - we fact check him, hard (and yes, it riles Dale up...). The Welsh Government plans to clamp down on exactly this kind of thing - making it illegal…

Several overlapping Right-Wing Nut stories this week, a reform candidate that makes Julia Hartley-Brewer look like Mother Theresa, wind energy in Britain kicks butt on the grid, the EU exits a very bad deal (but stays on the hook) - we have a new study on food, questions about Taylor Swift's footprint - and we ask does the SNP have a self-destruct …

From racist Reform party candidates to Tory sex scandals, we've got a no holds barred episode of Zerocarbonista. The hot topic this week is when is an apology not an apology?

For a small country with a small population, the Danes are incredibly well-known on the global stage as highly skilled when it comes to design.
