Last month I had the honour of <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/podcast/2025/01/turn-problems-into-solutions-for-culture-and-agriculture-across-australia-and-the-americas-anthony-james-says/">being a guest</a> on the podcast of the legendary independent US media outlet <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/about/">Mongabay</a>. It was a unique conversation, with US-born host <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/by/mike-digirolamo/">Mike DiGirolamo</a> based in Sydney, and me over here in the Americas, talking about some highlights from the seven months me and the family spent travelling across the USA last year, and relating it back to the seven years we’d travelled around Australia with the podcast before that. Mike produced a unique patch up too, interspersing our conversation with enlightening editorial additions, and some material from a past episode that was wonderful to hear again. Mongabay kindly invited me to release the episode on The RegenNarration too, so here it is, in full - a fascinating 'reverse' cross-continental exchange for the moment at hand.You’ll hear some highlights from last year’s US journey, including more personal stories behind the journey, more detail on the hope we derived from listening to people on the ground in that election year, and the exchange I had with Allan Savory in Colorado. And all while Mike and I were inspiring thoughts in each other from our respective experiences as we went. <a href="https://regennarration.buzzsprout.com/">Chapter markers &amp; transcript</a>.Recorded mid-December 2024.Title slide: Mike DiGirolamo.For more behind the scenes, become a supporting listener via the links below.Music:Intro music by <a href="https://jeremiahjohnson.com.au/">Jeremiah Johnson</a>.Regeneration, by <a href="http://www.ameliabarden.com/">Amelia Barden</a>.<a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6ewYjiljhUCURUzhfZCqMf?si=6c16a527c1e64c0f">The RegenNarration playlist</a>, music chosen by guests.Find more:Hear more on the Haggerty’s <a href="https://www.regennarration.com/episodes/142-dianne-ian-haggerty">early engagement</a> with First Nations &amp; how this is playing out <a href="https://www.regennarration.com/episodes/143-visited-by-the-rainbow-serpent">on the farm now</a>.<a href="Traditional%20Custodian%20of%20Nyul%20Nyul%20Country">Ep.102 with Bruno Dann</a> on Nyul Nyul Country.The new <a href="https://substack.com/@anthonyaus">Substack</a>. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2091922/open_sms">Send us a text</a><a href="https://www.regennarration.com/support">Support the show</a>The RegenNarration podcast is independent, ad-free and freely available, thanks to the generous support of listeners like you.
