Recording the first ever episode of the Worlding Podcast hosted by dancer and choreographer Renae Shadler was such great fun! You can listen to us talking about more-than-human museums on Spotify.

The Worlding podcast is a series of conversations between Renae Shadler and artists, philosophers and scientists exploring the reciprocal relationship of how we are both shaping and being shaped by our surroundings. Worlding aims to foster a complex and layered society that is founded in empathy and lives in dialogue with its surroundings, as opposed to privileging the individual human experience above all else.

Within each episode the guests discuss their intake on the core concept and offer a worlding proposition to share their research with listeners. This proposition is a playful invitation to experience ideas through the body, such as relating to a plant or physicalising the space around you.

Alongside exploring our more-than-human surroundings, Worlding traces interpersonal connections by inviting each guest to recommend an important person for them to be interviewed next, similar to a string figure. This aspect of the show is driven by personal, and often digital, connections independent of locality. It gives Worlding an organic life of its own enabling it to grow in unpredictable and unexpected ways. 

Each month there is a new series made up of three episodes, with the first guest being a Berlin-based artist curated by Renae that then passes the mic on to the next speaker, and then the next.
