    Ep.5 - Seeds: Memories Locked in Nature's Time Capsules

    Sometimes it's the smallest things we take for granted. Nowhere is this more true than with seeds. In this episode, we explore the secrets within seeds and discover the memories they have locked inside. We talk with Adam Alexander [https://theseeddetective.co.uk/] aka the "Seed Detective" who has spent years traversing the globe collecting, documenting and sharing the unique stories contained inside seeds. We walk through Adam's memory garden, get lost in the mountains of Oman and learn how he reunites refugees with the food of their homelands. We also discuss what's being done to protect the diversity of seeds around the world and why they are essential to the future of the world's food production. Learn how the choices we make and the seeds we choose to grow now will impact our future and the generations that come next.

    Ep.6 - The Digital Attack on Memory

    As time passes our memories increase in quantity and value. Has technology evolved to protect the photographs and memories we hold close? Or is it a threat? In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the stories of three photographers whose collections of work were on the brink of being lost forever, only to be miraculously discovered. We also explore how our images and digital memories are in danger and what we can do to help them survive the next 100 years and beyond. We talk with George Oates, co-founder of the Flickr Foundation about the goal to preserve the Flickr Commons archive. Also, meet Brendan Flesher, a passionate photographer and an innovative archivist, exploring how new technologies can be used to ensure that the images he salvages can persist far into the future. Step with us through a portal in time as we share the stories, photographs and archives that connect us all.
