Futuresteading144 Beaudy Miles an odd storyteller - Winter Windbacks 2024Our most downloaded backyard adventurer is chatting with us again but this time with better sound and more sleep under his belt so we are witness to a more true version of this humorous, odd character. A self titled 'polyjobist; a generalist at many things, he shares the challenge of writing a book after a decade in academia, worrying about breaking the law to make films and shares why he took up his granddads wood chopping axes despite his mediochre capability.Our conversation is all 'Miles' - it follows tangents, is really personal and stays true to his advi...2024-07-2851 min

Mara describes her Italian roots and being a waste renegade, the magic of WWOOFing and running a cooking school, wildlife corridors and messages to her 20 year old self. It’s...2024-07-0758 min
Futuresteading140 Sadie Chrestman - Farm schools, sharing white goods & building bloody great partnershipsThis episode is akin to being a fly on the wall as you overhear a convo… a warm, convivial, personal conversation to round out season nine. Listening back, while editing - with the Sunday roast cooking - it felt intimate to be part of this natter between Sadie and Jade which was recorded in late Spring art the end of their respective days. They poured themselves a glass of wine and hit the recording button. Neither were in the mood to touch on doom-dom so they intentionally avoided consumerism, capitalism and colonialism, but unpacked many a worthwhile morsel to he...2024-06-2347 min
Futuresteading133 Jamie Loveday - Sowing seeds for food deserts in the cityThe majority of us are living in cities, and the sad truth is that these highly inhabited hubs are food deserts. Places where food certainty is uncertain and what we do have available is a rapidly homogenising food landscape. The Food Lab is a program based in Sydney and designed to find ways to bring people closer to the soil that grows our food. Creating networks that cross disciplinary boundaries and support the birthing of language and connection points for the influx of migrants unable to translate our food culture.We chat about ways of introducing people f...2024-05-0551 min
ReskillienceToday I Go Slowly with Jade MilesJade Miles is a very special mate of mine. I turned up on her doorstep as a WWOOFer in 2018 and we got on like asparagus and eggs, which is what we had for dinner that night if I recall correctly. You probs know Jade as the host of the Futuresteading podcast, keeper of Black Barn Farm and writer of the most personal and compelling instagram captions in all the land. I love that Jade is consciously bridging the personal/professional schism, exploring ways to bring her whole, complex self to her roles as CEO, farmer, sp...2024-04-221h 14
