Every week, join space journalist and author, Sarah Cruddas and broadcaster Luke Moore for Where's My Jetpack? Each episode, we look into a different piece of retrofuturistic technology that never was, to find out if these brilliant inventions are still just science fiction or, by looking in the right places, may be just around the corner.

Join us, Joel and Leah Larabell {creators of High Garden Tea}, as we have lighthearted conversations about different neighbors in nature and how we can welcome them into our daily lives.

Each plant, animal, fungi and piece of our natural world that we better understand, the more we can bring the outdoors into our home and feel at home when outdoors. We'll be teaching herbalism, talking wild foods, meeting animals, sharing nature connection, ecotherapy and forest conservation tips, all the while sipping on tea and inviting you in for a cup . So be warned, this may lead to chronic actual tree hugging.

Have you ever noticed how DNA’s spiraling structure mirrors the shape of seashells and flowers? How our circulatory system branches like tree roots? Nature doesn’t just surround us—we are nature. Our bodies, minds, and societies are woven into its rhythms, yet in today’s modern world, we’ve severed that bond, and the consequences ripple through our environment, politics, culture, and even spirituality.

Every other week, hosts Monica Olsen and Jennifer Walsh explore the profound connections between planetary health and human well-being. Through conversations with leading experts, they uncover how nature influences everything—from the way we design our cities to the way we govern, heal, and find meaning in our lives. As we face climate change, biodiversity loss, and deep societal shifts, rediscovering our place in the natural world isn’t just necessary—it’s transformative.

Join us on this biophilic journey. Follow and listen today, because nature holds the answers.
