Zeitgeist Salient

This episode, Jess chats to some of Salient’s tauiwi podcasters - Alex, Tharushi and Sahir to figure out our place and identities in Aotearoa, its history and its future. Whilst we can sometimes feel like we’re third wheeling, one thing is clear - before we can become a multicultural society, we should be a bicultural society.

Come hang out whilst we hear about Jesse’s laundry list! From youth politics and engagement, the left’s trifecta of poverty, climate change and hating Jeff Bezos (and his phallic rocket ship), and radical optimism, there’s a lot to hang up. 

Making change is a daunting prospect, especially inside your own university, so we catch up with Monica Lim who’s trying to do just that. Listen to hear about allyship, student community and doing better.

This episode, we take some time to reflect on how Zeitgeist occupies space and how our conversations are influenced by our privilege and who we are as people. Criticise us. Please. 

Often it feels like consumer culture is the only way we know how to live, and then shit gets grim when we think about what we can do about it. Elisha, founder of Nisa joins us on episode 2 to discuss the good and the bad, and hopes for a more loving & sustainable consumer culture. 

Ironically, "Can't catch a break" comes at the beginning of our break 😅 Sophie Clark joins us on episode one to talk about burnout culture, finding happiness and... LinkedIn?
