The Know Show – the end of an era 2:11:20

4d ago2:11:20

2:11:20

We started The Know Show in August 2021 and who knew we’d still be going after all this time? But we have kept going, because understanding the complexity of the times we’re living through is important, so we can work out how to move forward. With that said, one of us is moving on, and that is Tim Wade, who’s embarking on some very important work, …

Climate Courage: getting past powerlessness 2:04:58

11d ago2:04:58

2:04:58

When we speak to people about the planetary crisis, the most common response is a feeling of powerlessness. Many tell us they don’t know what to do or where to start, which often means not doing anything at all, and this just adds to the feeling of powerlessness. This is a growing challenge across the world, as more and more people become aware of …

The Know Show – the golden age of hypocrisy 2:13:48

18d ago2:13:48

2:13:48

Are you guffawing a lot at the news these days? The hypocrisy of it all? Whether it’s the “gift” of a $400 million luxury plane to Donald Trump (which will cost $1 billion to get off the ground), the idea of white Afrikaners as refugees, or even the Pope’s style of Christianity too woke according to MAGA, there’s definitely a lot to guffaw at these…

Climate Courage: the outback floods a month later 2:10:57

25d ago2:10:57

2:10:57

It was more than a month ago when outback Australia was swamped by floods, experiencing a years’ worth of rain in a week, which not only devastated lives and livelihoods, it devastated livestock as well. The floods were bigger than the size of Texas and to this day, locals are still waiting for the water to drain away completely. What were the fina…

The Know Show – does the world need a Prozac? 1:46:32

1M ago1:46:32

1:46:32

Just when you thought the world couldn’t get any more dangerous, India and Pakistan are rattling sabres, following a terrible massacre in the Kashmir-administered region of India. While we know a response is imminent, the idea of two of the world’s nuclear powers heading into confrontation is not a good sign in a world already overwhelmed by war. W…

Climate Courage: the Pope was a climate activist 2:02:02

1M ago2:02:02

2:02:02

This week the world has come together to mourn the death of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, age 88. As speculation mounts about who will replace him, and whether they will be a reformer or traditionalist, we want to reflect on Pope France’s contribution to the climate movement and the change he drove around the world, not just across the 1…

The Know Show – is the US massively underestimating China? 2:17:45

2M ago2:17:45

2:17:45

It’s been hard to have a break from the show with so much going on in the news, but our sanity is important, as is spending time with family. That said, we are very happy to be back this week, and of course, we are going to talk about the tariff battle between the US and China, digging into the question – who is going to win? If you’re in the US, y…

Climate Courage: is it time for climate populism? 1:54:15

2M ago1:54:15

1:54:15

In February, Caroline Lucas and Rupert Read wrote an article in The New Statesman titled: It’s time for climate populism. They suggest that as politics turns against net zero, we need to mobilise a genuine mass movement against ecological catastrophe. It’s an adaptation message and concludes with: a depolarising wave of action that mobilises commun…

The Know Show – a fork in the road 2:22:39

2M ago2:22:39

2:22:39

Climate scientist, Ben Santer, was recently quoted in an article suggesting we are now at a fork in the road and it’s time to decide which path we take: “The fork we face is the choice between science and ignorance, between climate stability and climate carnage, between democracy and dictatorship. Between bright hope and dark despair. If we do not …

Climate Courage: the role of marketing in a sustainable future 1:55:21

3M ago1:55:21

1:55:21

Does the marketing profession have an outsized impact on the environmental crisis? And if so, how can marketing change track to play a greater role in building a sustainable future? That’s our focus this week, and we’re going to start with the problem with marketing, going back through history to its present day. We’ll look at its role, the harm it…

1
The Know Show – are we imagining enough yet? 2:08:03

3M ago2:08:03

2:08:03

We’ve been talking about the failure of imagination in coming to terms with this moment in time geopolitically since the start of the year, so are we imagining enough now? Let’s hope so, because things are certainly getting intense, and fear is ricocheting around the world. Definitely not an easy time for any of us. As we’ve witnessed in recent wee…

Climate Courage: the great wealth transfer 1:58:28

3M ago1:58:28

1:58:28

We’ve had to reschedule our marketing show due to a clash for our guest, so we are going to delve deeper into the economic conversation, this time focusing on the fact that the greatest transfer of wealth in history is about to happen. What, we hear you say? The richest group in human history are the Boomers, and as they start to head over the rain…

The Know Show – has it really only been four weeks? 1:42:22

3M ago1:42:22

1:42:22

Yes it has and it’s a whole lot worse than most thought possible. Of course, we’re not just talking about the chaos in the US, but everything else too - Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, Gaza, China, Ukraine, Russia, to name a few, along with, of course, challenging the very foundations of Europe – that went down well, didn’t it? Are we witnessing…

Climate Courage: is Trump irrelevant? 1:51:13

4M ago1:51:13

1:51:13

Climate Courage is back for 2025 and it’s just the three of us this week, as we have a lot to catch up on since our last show. To get off to a hot start, we’ll discuss Donald Trump and team, asking the very simple question: is Trump even relevant in the fight for our future? We’ll aim to pull apart the potential impact the next four years could hav…

The Know Show – the zone has been flooded with shit, seeking clarity 2:12:38

4M ago2:12:38

2:12:38

It’s time to get the show on the road after a long break, and boy a lot has happened since our last show in December. Our 2025 kick off will just be the three of us – Andrea, Joe and Tim – with the goal of trying to make sense of what’s going on, which is not easy, because there’s not a lot of clarity out there, even from the best voices globally. …

The Know Show – 2024 was one heck of a year, a look back 2:18:01

6M ago2:18:01

2:18:01

It’s our last show of the year and that means we’ll take the opportunity to look back at the major news that happened around the world in 2024 – how much do you remember? Or perhaps it all became a blur? Or maybe you haven’t been paying attention at all and this is your chance to catch up in one go? We’ll discuss geopolitical developments across th…

Climate Courage: the economics of climate 2:15:39

6M ago2:15:39

2:15:39

Cop29 has been deemed a failure as it only promised $300 billion to developing countries by the mid-30s. What’s even more challenging about this number is the percentage offered as loans, because countries already struggling with debt burdens taking on more debt to deal with a crisis not of their own making is amoral, not to forget, it’s not charit…

The Know Show – from ‘enshittification’ to denial, somethings gotta give 2:10:06

6M ago2:10:06

2:10:06

What’s true? What’s not? How do we move forward when ‘truthiness’ is acceptable? How do we navigate complex times when basic facts are denied rigorously, something that is definitely not serving the common good? We have entered the era of denial and “enshittification,” a term invented by the sci-fi writer Cory Doctorow, to describe online platforms…

Climate Courage: the politics of climate 1:50:18

6M ago1:50:18

1:50:18

This year, 1.5 billion people have gone to or are going to the polls, with more than 50 countries holding significant elections in 2024. Considering 2023 was the hottest year on record, and 2024 looks like it will smash that record, not to mention extreme weather events escalating across the globe, we’re going to vote for leaders who are climate aw…

The Know Show – where do we go from here? 2:05:13

7M ago2:05:13

2:05:13

Since our last show, the US election happened and Cop29 kicked off, with a whole lot of other news in between. In the US, the recriminations and post-election analysis consumes our feeds, while Cop29 starts with the US threatening to leave the Paris Climate Agreement (again), Argentina ordering its representatives to leave after three days, all whi…

Climate Courage: the air we breathe 1:34:20

7M ago1:34:20

1:34:20

New Delhi had an air pollution watch leading up to this year’s Diwali celebrations, with its air quality remaining ‘very poor’ for the 7th consecutive day. Meanwhile, across the border, the Pakistani city of Lahore had to close all primary schools for a week, with the air quality index (which measures a range of pollutants) exceeding 1,000 on Satur…

Growth, resilience, the manosphere 51:53

7M ago51:53

51:53

We worked together nearly 30 years ago and have been crossing each other’s paths around the world ever since. However, it was our recent catch up where I saw a deep level of growth in John Kerr, so I wanted to talk to him about the journey. John has been in professional communications his entire career, working in senior leadership roles for the la…

The Know Show – survival in the age of division 1:51:43

7M ago1:51:43

1:51:43

The US Election is happening on November 5th and it’s not just Americans who will be happy to see the back of it, the whole world will hopefully sigh with relief. No question it’s been intense, but regardless of the results, the divisions in the US will remain, and more broadly, we all know it’s not just the US suffering this blight, as many Wester…

Climate Courage: getting our cities climate ready 1:38:54

7M ago1:38:54

1:38:54

Is your city climate ready? Is your government or council taking the appropriate action to adapt for the climate that is coming? As we watch the disasters unfold around the world, we know that far too many governing bodies are on the back foot when it comes to adaptation, and in poorer countries, it is even more challenging to prepare as the fundin…

The Know Show – the woke mind virus 1:57:52

8M ago1:57:52

1:57:52

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, woke, wokeism or ‘the woke mind virus’ are now part of our public vernacular. But where did it come from? How did this awful word or phrase become so normalized in our societies? Equally, is woke a bad thing? And surely it’s not a mind virus? To hear the word woke, all you have to do is watch any political ca…

Climate Courage: resilience and humour in the age of the polycrisis 1:23:33

8M ago1:23:33

1:23:33

As the world starts to comprehend the impacts of the polycrisis – which is the simultaneous occurrence of several catastrophic events all happening at the same time – we must get focused on building our resilience “muscles,” while also understanding we need to be there for each other, because it is our local communities who will step up when the go…

The Know Show – adaptation and regeneration required 1:41:46

9M ago1:41:46

1:41:46

Epic floods have wreaked havoc from Africa to Asia to Europe, claiming more than 1,500 lives and costing US$15 billion, and this all happened in September. As one meme put it this week, we are not experiencing the flood of the century, we are experiencing a century of floods. Beyond floods, we’ve had mega fires on the West Coast of the USA and now …

Climate Courage: getting to a state of acceptance 1:38:42

9M ago1:38:42

1:38:42

Being in a state of acceptance about the climate crisis is not an easy path to tread, but it is a necessary part of the journey – for the sake of our own mental health. No question it’s challenging as the news is increasingly grim – from the loss of the Great Barrier Reef to sharks leaving their coral homes which impacts wider ecosystem health in o…

Climate Courage: the role of religion and spirituality 2:10:29

12M ago2:10:29

2:10:29

The role of religion and spiritual organisations in tackling the climate emergency is a huge opportunity for collective action, and we are seeing leaders of many religious institutions – including the Pope, and the Imams – speaking to their followers on the critical transformation required to live in balance with nature. But is the message landing?…

Climate Courage: reporting from the front lines in Asia 1:40:21

May 3rd was World Press Freedom Day and a UN report released stated 44 environmental journalists have been murdered in last 15 years. This means to report on the state of the environment has become a perilous profession, with the highest number of killings in Asia Pacific (30 cases), while Latin America and the Caribbean reported 11. The UN report …

The Know Show – the show must go on 1:48:37

1y ago1:48:37

1:48:37

If you’re a fan of Queen, “The Show Must Go On” will be meaningful, as it’s connected to the end of Freddie Mercury’s life. But we’re using it in a different context. All over the world, we are seeing reports of excess deaths, something we really came to understand during the Covid pandemic. However, today, excess deaths are coming from extreme hea…

1y ago2:05:17

2:05:17

Propaganda has always been an issue in our societies, but the problem is becoming a much bigger challenge today. Recently, a British man was charged over an arson plot targeting a Ukrainian business after he was allegedly recruited to act for the mercenary group, Wagner. He will face trial under the UK’s new National Security Act, the first time a …

2:26:04

Southeast Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and parts of Africa are sitting in the eye of an extreme heatwave, seeing temperatures five to 10 degrees Celsius above normal, and it’s predicted to last until June. That means no relief is on the horizon for the millions of people being impacted, and reports of deaths from heat stroke are growing by the d…

The Know Show – black, white and grey, the importance of nuance 2:12:17

1y ago2:12:17

2:12:17

When times get complicated, simple answers and solutions aren’t what’s going to cut it, even though we are bombarded with messages telling us otherwise. The growing threat of all-out-war, the calamities in our environment, and the divisions in our societies are all deeply complicated issues that require our attention and a deep appreciation for nua…

It’s been a harrowing week for war, with aid workers at World Central Kitchen killed by Israeli rockets in Palestine, which is ramping up pressure on the Israel Government to call an immediate ceasefire.

1:54:20

A few weeks ago, we discussed the story of Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old tech bro who cashed out a few years ago and now spends all his time trying not to die. Today he is suffering from long Covid, however he’s part of a bigger story about an obsession to work out how to live longer and healthier lives. At the centre is the longevity industry – a m…

1:19:43

Did you hear Donald Trump say: “Right now, a number of state laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change.” Cray cray right? And yes, he really did say it. In Missouri, if you’re pregnant you can’t get divorced – women’s rights are really progressing over there – not to mention we had …

1:39:24

The negotiations have been taking place in Dubai, and breaking news suggests an agreement to move away from fossil fuels has been agreed, however, the words phase-out is not in the final text.

When Mohammad Ali Jinnah understood his city, Karachi in Pakistan, would be under water by the 2060s due to climate change and sea level rise, he knew he had to do something about it and get involved – for his children and grandchildren. Pakistan is one of the 10 most vulnerable countries to climate change risk, and it is time for the world to come…
