This month on the podcast we're sharing a conversation that happened at Dumbo Feather HQ, between journalist and author, David Leser, and interviewer, Michaela Kalowski.In this intriguing interview David speaks about the backlash he received to writing Women, Men and the Whole Damn Thing, his account of the #MeToo movement. He discusses the historical roots of misogyny and the evolution of patriarchy, a system that he believes does so much harm to both women and men. And reflects on his own upbringing and the need for parents to allow their sons to embrace their feminine sides.

This month on the podcast we had the pleasure of sitting down with farmer and winemaker Matt Purbrick. You may already know Matt from Grown and Gathered, where he and his wife Lentil celebrate the joys of seasonal planting and bringing people around a table to enjoy the harvest. As a fifth-generation winemaker, viticulture is in his blood and he’s been busy making, bottling and drinking delicious, organic, sustainable wines with Lentil and his dad Alister. We loved listening to Matt talking about his relationship with the land and the seasons, his belief that community and connection is everything, his fears around our changing climate and his fascination with ancestral wisdom.
