Kit Marie and Miriam Lancewood grab some thyme to brew from outside and chat about being ‘place-centred’ rather than ‘time-centred’, travelling and living in the wild with husband Peter, busking, and more!

Miriam Lancewood lived for 7 years with her husband Peter in the wilderness of New Zealand. They roamed around like nomads, cooked on a fire, slept in a tent, and Miriam learned to hunt with bow and arrow. They lived like our hunter gatherer ancestors. Miriam is author of books such as ‘Woman in the Wilderness’ and ‘Wild at Heart’.

Kit Marie and Regan Mudhar chat about the power of music to evoke emotion, diversity and inclusion initiatives at the Royal Meteorological Society, PhD research into how Arctic warming is changing weather patterns and more!

After doing an MSci in physics with astrophysics in Bristol, Regan worked in finance for a couple of years. But they returned to academia in 2021, looking at the so-called “stratospheric pathway” and its far-flung influences on mid-latitude climate and weather extremes for their PhD. When Regan is not sitting behind a laptop, you can find them sharing science with the public around Exeter and beyond – including supporting the RMetS as their science engagement fellow for youth and early careers since June 2023.

It's the 100th episode (well, technically, the 100th upload!) of the Coffee & Geography podcast! We've been on an incredible journey, with Kit Marie speaking to over 100 people from over 22 countries.

The weekend of the 100th release coincided with the weekend after the Geographical Association Annual Conference 2024, so Kit Marie took the opportunity to grab as many previous podcast guests, in person, for a quick chat and a 'We are all Geographers' baton chain! Kit Marie also gives their introspective thoughts on the milestone.

Kit Marie and Ayesha Tandon brew up a hot drink and chat about the social factors that impact migration, culture and identity through food, early careers and diverse voices in science, climate journalism, being sporty in a sporty family, and more!

Science journalist at Carbon Brief. Ayesha is the 3rd generation of woman to study physics in her family. But the first person in 3 generations not to get a PhD! Stepping away from research (with full support from my family) was a big decision for Ayesha, but definitely the right one. Her work in climate science communication is a much better fit! As well as writing, Ayesha am super lucky that I get to go to conferences, meet cool scientists, and even did some fieldwork in Thailand last year. She has also worked on improving global south representation in climate journalism.

Kit Marie and Dave Wynn have a late night brew and chat about climate advocacy, admiration for 2000AD comics, learning the harp, stereophotography, and more! Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special musical treat.

A/S/L Dave? Old, neutered, lost. An old joke, but getting more accurate by the year. Otherwise, climate advocate, stereo-photographer, and harpist, and hopes he is small part of the solution to the Climate Emergency.

CW: We explore themes of fascism, violence and oppression through the medium of fiction, particularly comic books and graphic novels.
