Episode 59: Dr Michael Shakhib and Kwame Salam
This is the 59th Climate Resilience podcast and my name is Jim Bowen. Welcome wherever you are. If you've listened to earlier shows you'll see things are a bit different now. For the first thing, we've got a backing track, but more important than that I've no longer got a show on Cardigan Internet Radio because it has shut down. Bobby, who set it up in the first place hopes to reopen soon, but at the moment it is no more and that is a great shame. Local radio is so important being corporate free and its a free space to talk about stuff without pressure. Long live Cardigan Internet Radio! Anyway, I've now got a show that goes out once a month on Pure West Radio which is based in Haverfordwest. I am grateful for the chance to talk about climate breakdown at 9am on a Sunday, beamed straight into people's breakfast table which is not the usual sort of time of day to talk about such things, so that's ace, but Pure West is partly funded by Big Oul which limits what we can say live on the show. The podcast is a bit freer...and here we are. So on this podcast we talk about all sorts of things related to climate breakdown and what people are doing to combat it. We've tried to get a wide variety of guests who we hope you will find interesting. On the radio there is music too, but not on the podcast, so when we talk about a song coming up please hum along a bit to get the real feel for what the show was like when it went out live. This is show 59 and features interviews with Dr Michael Shakhib from the University of Wales's faculty of Engineering in Swansea, and Kwame Salam of the Tonic Surf Therapy which works out of the beaches of west Wales. Both are mates of mine and really good folk. If you like the show and would like to get in touch, the email address to write to is jim.clynfyw@gmail.com
