    Why Rupert Read says Extinction Rebellion failed and why he's started a new Climate Majority Project

    Why Rupert Read says Extinction Rebellion failed and why he's started a new Climate Majority Project

    The founder of the Extinction Rebellion, Rupert Read, says for too long the choices on climate action have been limited to either consumer choices or radical protests. He says there needs to be a space for action between these two alternatives. So Read has started The Climate Majority Project – a new approach to gain broad-based consensus on how to meaningfully respond to the crisis. And he plans to take it to the world.

    Guest: Emeritus Professor Rupert Read, co-author and editor of 'The Climate Majority Project — Setting the Stage for a Mainstream, Urgent Climate Movement,' published by London Publishing Partnership.

    Surrealism turns 100: moving beyond lobsters and melting clocks

    Surrealism turns 100: moving beyond lobsters and melting clocks

    Surrealism, the movement that gave us disembodied eyeballs, melting clocks and lobster phones, turns 100 this year. Mark Polizzotti, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, argues that Surrealism was much more than an artistic or literary phenomenon. The Surrealists also delved into Marx and Freud and remain relevant today. 

    Guest: Mark Polizzotti, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His new book is ‘Why Surrealism Matters’ (Yale University Press)

    Dick and Dara – Indonesia’s first 60’s girl band and their legendary producer and gold-smuggling pilot

    Dick Tamimi was an Indonesian pilot who was caught for smuggling gold into Thailand to buy the fledgling Indonesian government’s first plane in the 1950s. He went on to become a legendary record producer in Jakarta in the 1960s, producing Indonesia’s first all-girl rock band ‘Dara Puspita’. They were likened to Indonesia’s Beatles, and now their story is being turned into a musical.

    Guest: Julien Poulson, musician, arts producer and founder of the Cambodian Space Project.
