There are 1745 episodes in the Nature topic.

These are the latest episodes from the Nature topic added to soundcarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 10, for example, could confuse matters.

We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

Episode 1 – Suffolk wood at 6am
^{27:53 | Episode: 1 | March 29th, 2020}

It is mid-August. The early sun is lighting up the treetops against a pale blue sky. You’re hiding out in this rural wood which is typical of any in the South East of England. You’re listening to it waking up with the sounds of jovial wood pigeons, rasping rooks, sparkling wrens and robins. Rabbits hop about between the trees, over carpets of dry leaves. As if from nowhere a woodman starts work, clearing fallen branches. Miles away, the A12 flows with traffic, softened by the distance into an oceanic haze. Pheasants prowl under the lazy arc of a passing jet aircraft. Escape to this secret place and watch through your ears as the new day unfurls.

Bonus: Under the Weather Together
^{00:07:29 | March 29th, 2020}

So, there’s a lot going on right now… A LOT…. And I thought it might be kinda cool to talk it out? School is cancelled, which means I have way too much time on my hands… I’m sure most of you are in the same boat. I thought since everyone is following the coronavirus pandemic as it unfolds, and we’re getting news from so many different sources and everything is kinda confusing…

S1 E7: Robots vs. Climate Change
^{00:30:14 | Season: 1 | Episode: 7 | March 27th, 2020}

The future; an unknown frontier. A world with technology right at the limit of what’s possible. Where science fiction meets science reality… Or wait – aren’t we there already? At this very moment, there are teams of people working on advanced carbon capture machines. Geneticists designing enzymes that can eat plastic. Even people developing robot minds that could solve the current climate crisis for us… But should we? Knowing it could potentially go wrong? This episode features interviews with: Steve Oldham Steve is the CEO of Carbon Engineering a company working on the leading edge of Carbon Capture technology. He has studied robotics, computer science and aerospace engineering. I talked to Steve about how technology can help us fight climate change. Jerome Foster II Jerome is a climate activist from Washington DC and besides having been a House Congressional Intern and worked with Jane Fonda to promote climate strikes, he also happens to know a lot about AI and VR. He actually started his own VR tech company when he was in grade 9. In our talk, he explains the difference between the 2 different types of artificial intelligence.

^{00:15:08 | March 25th, 2020}

^{00:35:31 | Season: 1 | Episode: 6 | March 24th, 2020}

Let’s rewind to the beginning: When we get onto the topic of who’s to blame, it’s it is so incredibly hard not to feel mad… but at this point is pointing fingers is kinda… pointless?

S1 E5: Tornadoes, Floods and Super Storms – oh my!
^{00:29:00 | Season: 1 | Episode: 5 | March 22nd, 2020}

Extreme weather events like the infamous ~sharknado~ are happening more and around the world!! Okay, I’m kidding about that one specifically, but freak-level weather around the world IS a thing, it IS happening more often, and it IS related to climate change! For realz! Let me be clear, this bonkers weather isn’t new to our planet. There have always been epic storms and abnormally cold winters. The thing that makes the current situation so alarming is actually the frequency. And they’re not just inconvenient for a moment. They do real, lasting damage, cost millions of dollars, displace people and fundamentally change their homes. Lives can be forever changed after just one dramatic weather incident… so having more and more of them is a super serious problem. So what is the link of this higher frequency to climate change? Let’s find out. This episode features interviews with: Katia Bannister Katia is the Co-leader of the Cowichan Valley Earth Guardians – a group of teens working in climate activism in BC. She’s passionate about fighting against climate displacement and the loss of indigenous culture and biodiversity. She spoke to us about climate change is threatening life on her small gulf island off the coast of British Columbia. facebook.com/cvearthguardians Finn Gleichmann Finn is a German middle school student currently living and going to school in Amman, Jordan. He’s been super involved in the eco-conscious community there, organizing and taking part in climate marches, and modeling some seriously awesome eco-lifestyle choices! We asked him to chat with us about how he’s noticed his #desertlife been affected by climate change. Faith Hunt Faith is a Canadian highschooler currently living in Saudi Arabia. Living in an oil-rich country, she has focused her eco-conscious efforts mostly on her day to day choices instead of publicly protesting. She has also done some stellar volunteer work in places like Nepal to help build some eco-friendly homes! We chatted with her about what she has noticed climate-wise while living over there, which is quite different from what she was used to here in Canada! Kathleen Martin Kathleen is the Executive Director and founding member of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network. She is interested in sea turtles and how communication affects conservation, as well as the link between conservation and economic development. She talked to us about why climate change is such a big threat to sea turtles. https://seaturtle.ca/ For more info and a chance to win a custom “The Big Melt” T-shirt, visit www.bigmeltpodcast.com or the shownotes for this episode.
