Beetroot, Natalie Shapero & Homer Beetroot Podcast

Reunited and rejuvenated! A summer spent apart and now they’re back, Lottie and Marta are in the same postcode at the same table. In this episode they go off the grid, deciding to abandon a themed episode in favour of – ‘You’ve got to see this!’.  Lottie brought along Natalia Shapero’s Not Horses prompting questions of time, interspecies connectivity and our patron saint, Donna Haraway. Marta brings an extract from Homer’s The Odyssey and contributes a tender reading of a mothers last words to her son. Grief time travels and the everyday implications of the epic are conjured by the voices of past and present. In hindsight, perhaps we do have ourselves a theme, storytelling – whatever they might tell us. 

 

Hello – us again: We encountered a couple of volcanic rumbles in our recording this week, we’d recommend putting away your headphones or enjoying the occasional audio bump.
