What listeners will find here
Hope gets practical with guerrilla gardening, digital rules, and city life
This episode centers on turning hope into action through a conversation with guerrilla gardener and nature rights campaigner Kalpana Arias. It also ranges across new EU social media rules, a reading initiative in Singapore, and a debate over whether e-scooters should be banned.
Why some AI leaders want to hit pause, plus glaciers wrapped in wool
Artificial intelligence takes centre stage as the team unpacks calls to slow development and tighten checks, alongside pressure from more than 70 UK politicians for new AI rules. The episode also jumps from sheep’s-wool glacier blankets to a marathon mix-up, a beach-dog debate, and Shaun the Sheep facts.
