About this listen

Joy is... Experiencing.

Ivan Kashdan is an interdisciplinary artist with a passion for the environment and a drive to use his skills to change how we perceive and interact with nature. He is one of the three founders of Hermit House Games (previously known as, and referred to in this episode, as Kash & Germ), a family studio based in London who are on a mission to change how nature is portrayed and interacted with in games, telling researched stories from non-human perspectives.

The trio are currently working on 'A Home Below', a 3D third-person adventure where you play as a hermit crab exploring the ruins of a house lost to sea-level rise.

Ivan is also a keen runner and recently participated in the Climate Relay, running alongside ultra trail running legend, Damian Hall.
