The RegenNarration 145 Extra. Paul Hawken on an upcoming global launch & the US mid-terms
This is a short tribute episode marking the 10th anniversary of the passing of my old mate and mentor, Professor Frank Fisher. He’d be 79 today. The honours list of guests on these anniversary editions now includes Hazel Henderson, Allan Savory and Charlie Massy. This year, it’s Paul Hawken, the multiple best-selling author of Regeneration: Ending the climate crisis in one generation.
This is the rest of the conversation Paul and I shared last week – featuring some fun personal exchanges, and even some out-takes, to close out the year.
We start with Paul’s take on the US mid-terms. Then we get the early running on what’s coming down the line with Project Regeneration. And there is plenty, including a global launch of a short film with an all-star cast, now on December 7 / 8 (details below). After that, we got talking about some of Paul’s favourite episodes on The RegenNarration.
I have a brief update on the podcast on the other side of this conversation too. Including ... I’m shifting host platform for the podcast. It’s been a long time coming really. SoundCloud has been my host platform till now, and it really isn’t set up for podcasts anymore. The change shouldn’t affect your listening in any way. It’ll still be available where you listen to podcasts, and on The RegenNarration website.
But if you do experience any glitches, this might be why, and will hopefully be short lived. If you’re following the podcast on SoundCloud, it’ll still be available there too I believe, just not hosted there. Again, just let me know if you notice anything go wrong. And otherwise, I hope you find a better experience in the change too – with clearer show notes, website player and other benefits.
