Linnean Future Podcast #49: A Conversation with Nature

Linnean Podcasts

Cosmo Sheldrake, a multi-instrumentalist musician, composer and producer brings us into a musical conversation with nature. In this podcast, we explore how sound and music is not only a vehicle for us to communicate stories about the natural world, but can in itself be a method of investigation. Cosmo also shares with us his journey with climate activism, how it has shaped him and his subject matter of music. This podcasts includes snippets of Cosmo’s music, that he has kindly shared with us. He hopes that it will inspire you to listen more closely to the natural world and forge a greater connection to it and its needs. The Linnean Future Podcast Series is an initiative by The Linnean Society of London in response to the ongoing planetary emergency. This podcast series will bring you stories from around the world that explores how the impacts of climate change are woven into every aspect of our lives. Through out the series we will be meeting some of the amazing people who are studying these changes, its impacts and trying to find solutions to help reduce the impacts of our changing climate. The Linnean Society of London is committed to Net Zero (with offsets) by 2022 and reducing its carbon emissions by at least half by 2030.
