by Future Ecologies
Made for nature lovers and audiophiles alike, Future Ecologies explores our eco-social relationships through stories, science, music, and soundscapes. Every episode is an invitation to see the world in a new light — weaving together narrative and interviews with expert knowledge holders. The format varies: from documentary storytelling to stream-of-consciousness sound collage, and beyond. Episodes are released only when they're ready, not on a fixed schedule (but approximately monthly). This ad-free, independent podcast is supported by our listeners: https://www.futureecologies.net/join

<p>Today, it's our pleasure to bring you an episode from our friends at Bioneers, who have just released a 6-part series called Nature's Genius.</p><p>Follow Bioneers wherever you get podcasts, or listen to the rest of the series at <a href="https://bioneers.org/natures-genius/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bioneers.org/natures-genius/</a></p><p>This is episode 1 — <strong>The Universe Beneath Our Feet: Mapping the Mycelial Web of Life</strong></p><p>Imagine an underground web of mind-boggling complexity, a bustling cosmopolis beneath your feet. Quadrillions of miles of tiny threads in the soil pulsate with real-time messages, trade vital nutrients, and form life-giving symbiotic partnerships. This is the mysterious realm of fungi. Acclaimed visionary biologists Toby Kiers and Merlin Sheldrake guide us through the intricate wonders of the mycorrhizal fungal networks that make life on Earth possible.</p>

<p>In this very special donkumentary, we’re headed to the Mojave Desert — to Death Valley, in particular — where we find one animal at the centre of a heated debate in land management: the hardy wild burro (AKA donkey, ass, or Equus asinus).</p><p>These feral burros, beloved by some and reviled by others, are an introduced species in the desert southwest, but are uniquely entangled in its human history. Since before the establishment of Death Valley as a national monument, they have been widely regarded as overpopulated on the Mojave landscape. In recent years, rising costs, public controversy, and some conflicting legislation have brought the sustainability of conventional burro management into crisis.</p><p>But not everyone is convinced that they’re harmful. Could this crisis be avoided altogether if we looked at burros under a different light?</p><p>Are they crowding out the native and endangered fauna? Or are they filling an ancient ecosystem niche? Join us as we meet the land managers, ecologists, and donkey racers all trying to do right by the desert.</p><p>Find photos, credits, a transcript, and citations at <a href="https://www.futureecologies.net/listen/fe-6-3-get-yer-ass-outta-here" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">futureecologies.net/listen/fe-6-3-get-yer-ass-outta-here</a></p><p>— — —</p><p>We rely on listener support to stay independent, ad free, and making the best podcast we can make.</p><p>Help us keep the lights on at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/futureecologies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/futureecologies</a> — and get perks like early episode releases, bonus audio content, stickers, patches, a cozy hat, access to our community discord server, and <a href="https://www.futureecologies.net/join" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">your name on our website</a></p><p>Get new episodes in your email: <a href="https://www.futureecologies.net/#updates-section" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">join our mailing list</a></p><p>You can also find us on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/futureecologies.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/futureecologies/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.social/@futureecologies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a>, & <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/future-ecologies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iNaturalist</a></p>

<p>We’re unlocking one of the conversations from our bonus feed.</p><p>In this interview, building on episode <a href="https://www.futureecologies.net/listen/fe-6-2-sea-garden" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FE6.2</a>, Mendel speaks with Skye Augustine, a leading voice uplifting the science, history, and culture of Sea Gardens. In a time where so much of the future feels uncertain, the resiliency of Sea Gardens over millennia is (at least to us) a source of deep comfort and inspiration.</p><p>What’s more, if you’re as inspired as we are, and you want to learn how your community could build a clam garden, we’ve got you covered. Don't miss <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/conversation-new-119662067" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">our conversation with Joseph Williams</a>, Community Shellfish Liaison for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, who constructed the first Clam Garden of the modern era — available <strong>for free</strong> on our Patreon.</p><p>— — —</p><p>The Future Ecologies bonus feed is where we release exclusive bits of audio to all of our supporters. There’s a whole back catalogue of silly mini episodes, long-form extended interviews with guests from the main feed, and a bunch of entirely new, fascinating conversations you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s one of the ways we say thanks for helping us make the show — we really can’t do it without you.</p><p>You can get access to the bonus feed (on your podcast app of choice) and more, for less than the price of a cup of coffee at <a href="https://patreon.com/futureecologies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/futureecologies</a> or subscribe directly within Apple Podcasts.</p>
