  • Meeting RFK Jr: And the search for the ‘transcendent centre’

    Meeting RFK Jr: And the search for the ‘transcendent centre’
    Oct 27 2026
    I’ve sat on this for a couple of years now. The day I met Robert F Kennedy Jr at an event in New Mexico. He was on the campaign trail for the 2024 Presidential election as an independent back then. Remember that? The event was actually a film launch for Recovering America. Part of what had attracted me to the event. A solutions-focused journey across the US exploring effective responses to the tragic drug addiction epidemic there.I was welcomed as part of the visiting international press gallery, and as such briefly met RFK Jr and joined the press gaggle afterwards. I thought about running our exchange on the podcast then – the solutions presented in the film, alone, fit the remit. And the independents movement back home in Australia, which had begun to inspire more civil, positive and effective politics, were on my mind too. But for a number of reasons, which I’ll talk about, I held back.Two months after that NM event, Kennedy moved to the Trump camp. And fair to say, I think, whatever your view, that the complexities and tensions have mounted since. I say that with respect, too, for the diversity of listeners to – and guests on - this podcast. I talk more about that here too.Now, in the wake of an unusual mid-term speech by RFK Jr last month, that is suspected by many to have flagged a 2028 presidential run, and a podcast soon after with RFK’s disenchanted former advisor and speech writer - and former event guest of mine, as it happens - Charles Eisenstein, the man credited as being behind the original ‘MAHA source code’, it felt like the time to tell a story about that day in 2024. A story that includes some of the great exemplars in the film being premiered, through to what Charles had to say about his disappointing split with RFK, what it means for the similarly disappointed MAHA movement right now, and the ongoing search for that more civil, positive and effective politics. More shout outs and listener mail feature at the end too.If you’d like to go straight to a particular part of this episode, essentially viewing a table of contents, you can navigate via the chapter markers & transcript.Title image sourced from Fox News.See more photos on the episode web page, and for more behind the scenes, become a supporting listener below.Hope to see you at our next live audience podcast online, with special guests Stacey Curcio and Terry McCosker.You can hear the podcast with Jonathan Lundgren in episode 319.And with Kate Chaney after her 2022 election win in episode 121.Simple Promise Farms in Texas. And the beautiful 8 minute video by local media.The Other Side Academy was another standout from the film. By line: ‘it’s free, it’s hard, it works’. Ross O’Reilly in episode 135 at his High Valley Dawn farm in regional Queensland.BackTrack in regional NSW, as seen in the amazing documentary film Backtrack Boys.

  • From Commodity to Security: Building Our First National Food Security Strategy

    From Commodity to Security: Building Our First National Food Security Strategy
    Oct 20 2026
    It has slipped under the radar for years, but food security is in a perilous state. An Australian Bureau of Statistics survey found 1.3 million people (more than 13% of households) are struggling to afford enough healthy food. And in keeping with similar patterns in related areas of water security, chronic illness and biodiversity loss, the trajectory is worsening, and already costing billions in each area. As a result, governments have been responding with food security strategies around the world, and governments in Australia are now doing the same. Dr Nick Rose, co-founder and ED of Sustain: The Australian Food Network, based in Naarm/Melbourne, has been one of the key forces in this area for decades. And in the last year or so Sustain has been convening community forums nationally (including Launceston and Melbourne to date) to feed into the country’s first National Food Security Strategy, called Feeding Australia.We met up in Perth/Boorloo last week, between a host of events and meetings with State MPs, First Nations, industry and community groups, in the lead up to the WA Food Policy Forum. That will take place on November 30, and you’re all invited (generous paid subscribers to this podcast, a 25% discount code has been sent your way). Joining Nick and I to talk about all this, are a couple of women familiar to longer-term listeners - Noongar and Thin-Mah Warriyangka woman, new CEO of Wagyl Kaip Southern Noongar Aboriginal Corporation, Heidi Mippy; and Natural Intelligence farmer and 2025 West Australian of the Year, Di Haggerty.This one’s loaded with inspiring updates, and some of Nick’s amazing personal story, as a moment presents for much-needed systemic change.More shout outs and listener mail feature at the end too.If you’d like to go straight to a particular part of this episode, essentially viewing a table of contents, you can navigate via the chapter markers & transcript.Recorded 16 October 2026.Title image with thanks to Bec Hamersley (part of the Haggerty farm team, and cherished paid subscriber).You are also invited to the Noongar Cultural Celebration at the Noongar Land Enterprise Group near Northam WA on 1 December 2026. It’s free, with food provided. Hope to see you at both these neighbouring events. And our next live audience podcast, with special guests Stacey Curcio and Terry McCosker.Listen to the story of Miller & Baker in North Perth, one of the bakeries the Haggerty family supplies too locally (in episode 69).

  • We Can’t Scale Our Way To Transition (& Don’t Need To), with Richard Heinberg

    We Can’t Scale Our Way To Transition (& Don’t Need To), with Richard Heinberg
    Oct 13 2026

    I met Richard Heinberg by the clear running waters of a restored Santa Rosa creek a couple of years ago. Though it feels like yesterday, such was its impact. So my heart sank when I saw the subject line in an email, ‘In memoriam, Richard Heinberg’.

    Richard is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost advocates on the urgent need, and inviting prospects, of a transition away from fossil fuels. He’s the author of 14 books including some of the seminal works on our current energy, economic and environmental crises.

    I had already been feeling like our conversation by the creek that day was worth re-releasing, even before hearing the sad news. Especially the last 20 minutes or so, where our podcast culminates in Richard’s clear framing of the unprecedented challenge facing us, and how we could pull it off. So here they are for you today.

    If you’d like to hear the rest of this conversation, listen to episode 205. It starts with the story of the creek you can hear. And delves more into Richard’s life journey through music, agriculture, energy, economy, psychedelics, Aboriginal Australia, Native America, and all that his decades of work have taught him.

    And if you’d like to read more about Richard’s personal story, including his magnificent musical journey, with some photos and videos, have a read of this tribute article I wrote back in July.

    Originally recorded 30 April 2024.
