Worm from Home is a podcast project that explores urban ecosystems, their participants and contradictions, in the context of the environmental history of East London.
Where does ‘the natural’ in the city end, and the ‘unnatural’ begin? How do we think about organic non-human life in wholly ‘unnatural’ landscapes, in cityscapes? Why do we find these binary frames around the artificial and the natural so lacking, yet still seem to somehow need them to think about the world?

War and the Woods (Part 2)
In Part 2 of a series exploring woodlands and war, we look at the history of the environmental damage of war, and its impact on woodlands in particular.
In France, Vietnam, and Britain, woodlands have played crucial roles as sites of, resources for, and means of recovery after warfare.
How has war altered these landscapes? What pressures shape their restoration, and do human beings recover alongside them?
