    EP14: Dissecting Development |Part I| - Understanding People's Movements with Usha Ramanathan

    Today’s episode attempts to understand development, not through conceptual lectures, but through the eyes of a foot soldier, through the mind of a thought leader, through the life of a woman who, in her own words had a clueless entry, into the world of activism, for fighting for people’s rights, who went on to achieve so much, but what she set out to do, was attempt to understand the injustice she saw before her.

    EP13: Of Modern Malady and Medicine |Part I| - Understanding 21st Century Lifestyle Diseases with Mugdha Pradhan

    This is Maitreya Prithwiraj Ghorpade and thank you for listening to What UnEarth! Joining me for Episode 13 is Mugdha Pradhan, Founder of 'iThrive' a health and wellness start-up that has helped thousands of people cure ailments where doctors and prescriptions had repeatedly and horribly failed. My talk with Mugdha was fascinating because I feel I came a step closer to understanding so many of my questions. Questions such as - How healthy are our pill-popping habits? Are alternate medicine practices just disguised quackery? What does functional medicine even mean? But most importantly, how was Mugdha’s journey of overcoming her own illnesses, in this week’s What UnEarth

    S02E02 | Part II | Revisiting the Number 1 Solution to Climate Change with Prithwiraj Ghorpade

    As Season 2 of What UnEarth sets off, we continue our journey back in an attempt to learn from some of the most popular episodes of the first season, this time with Episode 01 with Prithwiraj Ghorpade. I have often asked myself, What is the number 1 solution to climate change? What is the single most effective use of the limited time that humanity has to effect any kind of tangible change on the single greatest threat to our peaceful existence? Within the grander scheme of things, In what way can I best help fight against this seemingly apocalyptical future that we’re steadfastly marching towards? Well it turns out I’m not the only one to ask that question. Although there exist a multitude of answers to these questions. I now realize that the only real way we can help to restore nature to its former glory is by unequivocally and wholly extracting ourselves from certain spaces and thereby allow nature to operate its highly sophisticated and finely tuned technology. It is our hubris that makes us believe that we have it in us to “save the planet”. That being said, There are however, some things that individuals can do to facilitate this transit back to the state of nature. Join me as I talk to Mr. Prithwiraj Ghorpade, an organic farmer, as we attempt to unearth man's relationship with land, nature, and the eluding dream of sustainability.

    S02E01 | Part II | Revisiting the Value of the Priceless with Dr. Gurudas Nulkar

    As Season 2 of What UnEarth sets off, we look back and try to learn from some of the most popular episodes of the first season, starting with Episode 08 with Dr. Gurudas Nulkar. In Episode 08 Dr. Nulkar and I had explored the fundamental problem of modern economics and how it is designed to be antithetical to ecology. That a diamond cost millions but basically does nothing. While a trees are source for eternal life, we clear them faster than a teenage boy clearing his search history. The problem is not money by itself, the problem is when we assume that everything that can be valued is in fact valued, correctly, in money, by the market. Dr Gurudas Nulkar is the Sir Ratan Tata Post Doctor Fellow at ISEC Bangalore, the Endeavour Executive fellow at Deakin University Melbourne, and currently working as the Head of Department for Strategy and General Management at SCMHRD Pune. He is also a trustee at the Ecological Society, Pune and has written several books on the intersection between economics and environment. Dr Nulkar helped me understand that reasons for why the modern economic system, why the gdp is by itself ineffective in understading the level of human prosperity, why farmers continue to get the short end of the stick, how genuine alternatives to our current economic system exist, are real and thriving, but more importantly, why ecology and economy start with the same three letters in this week’s What UnEarth.
