The Grand Scheme of Things
Ben and Joe collect perspectives on climate action in Australia because they're unimpressed by stamps, crystals and model trains. It's a podcast about making a podcast, as well. Healthy Choice - this program is packed full of 'ums' and 'likes' that help to support a strong attention span.

Episode 41
Lots more to cover on the Beetaloo fracking issue! For this bumper instalment, we were fortunate to hear from Rikki Dank, a Gudanji/Wakaja woman from Borroloola in the NT. To be clear, she's also currently based in Dubai and working as a gallery owner. Rikki has long been an activist concerned by the effects of fracking and she hails from a family of proud 'troublemakers'. Whilst this episode primarily gives a valuable picture of how Indigenous communities like Borroloola are impacted by resource extraction, we also get Rikki's perspective of travelling to Glasgow for the COP26 summit. Find out how she passed her time there and why she was feeling so fed-up that she looked to Hollywood for attention!
