Do you know all the ways in which you could reduce your eco-footprint?? You could compost, vermicompost, grow your own veggies, recycle your recyclables, say no to single use plastics, be a champion of sustainable fashion, support locally grown produce…the list is only limited by your imagination and convictions.

Vani murthy is the maharani of all of these things and more!

If you’re an urbanite, wondering how the heck you can make a difference to the planet then this masterclass with the beloved WORM RANI is all you need!

Listen up as she takes you through all the steps that can bring you closer to a low waste lifestyle. Oh, and this episode is also packed with a more-than-healthy helping of inspiration and optimism that you can draw on to navigate life itself!

This week, Prithvi and Jashid take us on a trip into the Fungal Queendom - that abyss of awesomeness from which spring forth marvellous mushrooms and terrific toadstools.

These filamentous beings have inhabited the earth for millennia; they continue to thrive in, on and around us, dominating both living and non-living realms in ways we cannot ever fathom. We barely have begun to understand these enigmatic entities.

Nature’s greatest alchemists, powerful architects, the OG Influencers of our planet with their rule-bending, ground-breaking, rock-eating, chemistry-altering, states-of-matter-transforming ways. Fungi are fantastical, whimsical, quirky, manipulative, transactional, opportunistic, competitive but also relentless, resilient, altruistic, considerate. The more we unravel, the sooner we'd realise that we'd do better as a species if we pay heed to them, for the Future is Funga.
