The Species Barrier #43 Podcast

Sociologist Roger Yates is back to review recent films Carnage and What The Health, we also take the opportunity to look back over other animal rights/vegan documentaries. Roger also rants about reducetarianism.

We were visited by Nick (another sociologist!) and Katie, hosts of Progressive Podcast Australia so we had them come by the studio for a chat on environmentalism, veganism etc.

In the news Donald Trump pulls out of the Paris climate agreement and Bristol VegFest came to an end with this year's event.

The Species Barrier #40 Podcast

Episode 40 of The Species Barrier....Part two of our interview with Karen I Shragg, author of Moving Upstream: A Call to Solve Overpopulation, in her book Karen challenges everyone from green organisations to politicians to deal with a key causal issue instead of the symptoms.

We discuss the development of The Lawns complex in Lincoln and the continual loss of remaining green spaces. We speak to Pete who is a local man who has a deep attachment to the site and the wild animals who live there.

Also, in the news we are permanently beyond 400ppm and in the wake of such stark facts ethicists ask should we reproduce in an era of such inevitable climate change? Bees become an endangered species, and 10% of remaining wilderness lost since 1993.

The Lawns of Lincoln. This area is now covered in concrete.
