ADVENTURES IN NUTOPIA
Adventures in Nutopia is a documentary podcast series n search of new stories, radical movements, systems, myths and ideas that might steer us into a more inclusive, networked and ecological future.In Nutopia all are welcome. Don’t worry about poe-faced beard-stroking, there’s plenty of mischief, fun and weirdness to be had.
Series One delves deep into the origins of the myths that shaped western thinking, the concept of reality tunnels, agro-ecology, the pioneering work with VR for mental health, precession fermentation, social prescription, narrative-based medicine, Ecological Civilisation, The Commons, the Eightfold Wheel of the Year and the resurgence of interest in pilgrimage and ritual.
We draw on individuals from the past whose attitudes still feel ahead of the curve – including Alan Watts, Robert Anton Wilson and Mary Midgley – and share the ideas of such guests as George Monbiot (Regenesis), John Higgs (The Future Starts Here), Jeremy Lent, artists Daisy Campbell and Brooke Palmieri, mythologist Sharon Blackie, head druids Kris Hughes and Philip Carr-Gomm, Pilgrim Trust founder Guy Hayward and eco-farmer and broadcaster Abi Rose.
