Welcome back to Hope Is A Verb! This season we'll bring you a new chapter of stories from the people who are mending our planet and tending to some of our biggest global problems. Episodes will be released weekly from 8th December, 2023. Hosted by Angus Hervey and Amy Davoren-Rose.

To celebrate the end of our first season of this podcast, we're delighted to share this conversation with Rutger Bregman- the person who inspired this project. Rutger is a journalist, historian, and the author of Humankind: A Hopeful History, in which he challenges the assumption that people are inherently selfish and competitive. Instead, he argues that we are hard-wired for kindness and collaboration, and this is what has led to our flourishing as a species. In this conversation we dive into a range of topics from news cycles, to Rutger's next book and why the key to creating a better future starts with the belief that we're better than we think we are.Find out more:www.rutgerbregman.com/booksThis episode of Hope Is A Verb was hosted by Angus Hervey, cofounder of Future Crunch and Amy Davoren-Rose, creative director.The soundtrack for this podcast is "Rain" composed and performed by El Rey Miel from their upcoming album"Sea the Sky."Audio Sweetening by Anthony Badolato- Ai3 Audio and Voice.We would like to acknowledge that this podcast is recorded on the lands of the Gadigal, Wurundjeri and Woi Warring People.

Meet Christine Figgener, a marine biologist who sparked a global movement against single-use plastic when her YouTube video of a turtle having a straw removed from its nose went viral in 2015.  In this conversation, Christine shares her journey from growing up in an industrial town in Germany to running conservation programs in Costa Rica, where she first fell in love with leatherback turtles over 17 years ago. Reflecting on the eight years since her video “accidentally” fuelled a global debate over ocean pollution, Christine talks us through transition from scientist to storyteller and activist, and what it takes to save a species on the brink of extinction and in the face of climate change.   Find Out More:  Website:  https://www.seaturtlebiologist.com/Instagram: @seaturtlebiologist"My Life with Sea Turtles : A Marine Biologist's Quest to Protect One of the Most Ancient Animals on Earth" will be released on May 21, 2024 by Greystone BooksThis episode of Hope Is A Verb was hosted by Angus Hervey, cofounder of Future Crunch and Amy Davoren-Rose, creative director. The soundtrack for this podcast is "Rain" composed and performed by ⁠⁠El Rey Miel ⁠⁠from their upcoming album "Sea the Sky."Audio Sweetening by Anthony Badolato- ⁠⁠Ai3 Audio and Voice⁠⁠.We would like to acknowledge that this podcast is recorded on the lands of the Gadigal, Wurundjeri and Woi Warring People.
