People and Nature Podcast

In his 1993 memoir, the American naturalist Robert Pyle wrote of a "cycle of loss and disaffection" alienating people from nature and furthering the destruction of our ecosystems. His term - "the extinction of experience" -  aims to capture the essence of our modern relationship with the natural world. In this episode Chris explores the meaning behind this concept and how we got here. He also talks a lot about what he would like to talk about in future episodes...we're sorry about that... 

In this episode we get to know our host, Chris, and learn about the aims of the People and Nature podcast.
