The RegenNarrationTyson Yunkaporta: A laugh, a cry & a touchstoneThis still feels like the funniest story told on the podcast over its eight and some years now. And right up there among the most moving too. I still laugh out loud when I think about the end of my yarn with Tyson Yunkaporta back in episode 70, when I asked him about his music story. And the emotions that surged in a touchstone moment just prior to that have been the subject of many a chat since. Funnily enough, I couldn’t actually remember that one followed the other. So here’s the last 15 minutes or so of my time...

The Other OthersSpeaking [post-] truth to powerYarning with Courtney Hunter from Peramangk Consulting, attempting to disentangle valid investigation and critique of neo-colonial violence from the post-truth disinformation operations that serve rising global autocracy. The line between classical conspiracism (scholarly and activist critiques of power) and neo-conspiracism are blurry at best, and we lose good people in that liminal space. We also lose legitimacy in the struggle for self-determination, when our tools of resistance and even spiritual narratives are co-opted by white supremacists, Christian nationalists, nativists and misogynists. A complex yarn in response to a recent article:

We share this work as part of our protocol of transparency and open collaboration, and invite suggestions as we reach a very sticky point in our project. We know how to develop something that could be groundbreaking, but now we must ask - should we do it? Is it even possible to be accountable for the externalities and knock-on effects of a new innovation?
