The Flight Free Podcast

Horticulturalist Poppy Okotcha and Black Geographers founder Francisca Rockey join team members Armelle and Sunita to talk about how climate justice relates to social and racial justice.

Ex-aerospace engineer Finlay Asher gives us the lowdown on how green technology may or may not enable us to fly carbon neutral

We start the New Year asking if you could make the #FlightFree2021 pledge? Be inspired by five people who have already made the pledge, and hear their motivations, experiences and top tips for joining the pledge.

Flight Free 2020 didn't work out at all the way we thought it would. Here, the whole team discusses what the year meant to them.

We speak to Gope Walker, CEO of an IT company with clients and staff across three continents, about how it's possible to run a successful business without flying.

For low-carbon travel, you can't beat the humble bicycle. We speak to Debs and Jo, two seasoned (but very normal) cycle tourers about the wonders of exploring on two wheels.

Science communicator Dr Emily Grossman joins us to discuss what action we need to take to reach a sustainable carbon footprint. 

We interview two travel writers who have taken the flight free 2020 pledge: Helen Coffey of the Independent and Steph Parker from Big World Small Pockets. On the list of topics for discussion is what Covid-19 means for travel, and how we can still be curious and excited about travelling closer to home.

Steve Westlake from Cardiff University joins us to discuss behaviour change and how our individual actions can create a social shift. 

We hear from Dr Alexandra Jellicoe about why it's important to take action on the climate, enjoying the experience of travelling by train, the European destinations on our doorstep and the value of staying put.
