    PLACE AS ELDER w/ QUINIE

    Big personal shares at the top of the ep (preview: podcasting terrifies me) before an utterly delightful conversation with Scots folk singer Josie Vallely aka. Quinie. Quinie's album Forefowk, Mind Me was named The Guardian's best folk release of 2025, but don't worry if you're not into bagpipes because we mostly chat about: Not making your art your career Tips for slow art/seasonal living in a rushing world The mind bending differences between relating with Country in Australia versus Scotland Minority languages and evocation of place The right to roam Confused white settler syndrome When you’re a cultural mongrel Impure ancestry Place as a surrogate elder Tradition in motion Where do songs live? Journeying on horseback Horses as bodyguards Why we all just want to be got 🧙‍♀️LINKY POOS Quinie’s home on the web Quinie on Instagram [album] Forefowk, Mind Me ~ Quinie Quinie’s seasonal almanac ~ Things that happen every year in a cycle [film] Forefowk, Mind Me  Guardian review of Quinie’s album Cover art photo credit: Anthony Rintoul 🧡🧡🧡 Join the Reskillience community on Patreon 🧡🧡🧡

    "It's going to be a blast... and scary as hell." Dave Pollard on Collapse

    You want it, you got it: an open discussion about the cracks in our civilisation, and how to catch each other when it all falls apart. Dave Pollard has been writing about culture, complexity, deep ecology and collapse for longer than some of us have been alive. While he continues to cheer on radical ‘deep green’ activists, he no longer believes that that we can change or reform The System. This convo is about what to do instead. [first aired in 2023] 🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOS 🧙‍♀️ Dave's writings Dave’s recommended reading list ~ The Books That Have Influenced Me Most Dave’s article ~ How Do We Teach the Critical Skills Needed to Face Collapse?

    This Moneyless Life with Jo Nemeth

    Could you live without money? No support payments, no savings account, no secret benefactors?  Jo Nemeth has been doing so for the past decade, and reckons she is less stressed and more secure in her moneyless life (in which she shares a home with eight other humans and plays the role of house keeper/manager/grower/frugavore).  This is a truly radical tale of a woman who went the whole hog and gave up the bacon 💰 to invest in relationships and reciprocity. We cover: What is poverty/wealth? Why live without money? Jo has no hope! Less money = more freedom Why to be a home economist Issues in a nine person household The deliciousness of aligning your actions with your values Moneyless gift giving, cravings, medical and more Waste food seagull mode Receiving is harrrrd Kids + collapse On taking care of things Collapse priorities Growing locally adapted food 🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOS 🧙‍♀️ Jo’s home on the web Jo on Instagram ~ @jolowimpact Jo in the Guardian Mark Boyle ~ The Moneyless Man + The Way Home Eaarth ~ Bill McKibben Luke Kemp ~ Goliath’s Curse Artist As Family The Art of Frugal Hedonism ~ Annie Raser-Rowland & Adam Grubb The really really free market Just Collapse Sound credits: first raven, flock of ravens. 🧡 Support Reskillience on Patreon 🧡
