About this listen
In this episode of the Blue Humanities podcast, we turn from the oceans to the rivers that feed the sea. Host Jonathan Bate joins Britain’s leading writer of the natural world, Robert Macfarlane, to discuss his new book Is a River Alive? Their discussion ranges from the “Rights of Nature” movement to Macfarlane’s breathtaking journeys along great rivers in Ecuador, India and Canada, where he immerses himself in wonders and meets activists who are striving to save the rivers that are the arteries of life on earth.
You can follow Jonathan on Twitter/X here and the Humanities Institute here.
