Global Chorus

About two years ago, Maren and I were approached by Todd McLean, a musician and journalist from Prince Edward Island in Canada.

Todd asked us the following question:

“Do you think that humanity can find a way past the current global environmental and social crises? Will we be able to create the conditions necessary for our own survival, as well as that of other species on the planet? What would these conditions look like? In summary, then, and in the plainest of terms, do we have hope, and can we do it?”

Our answer to this question, together with those from Stephen Hawking, Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and some other slightly more famous people than us can be found in the book Global Chorus that came out last October and is now available in good bookshops everywhere.

Interview with Martin Besserman

Another interview for the Serious Conviction project. Last night I spoke with Martin Besserman, another Speakers Corner veteran who also runs the Monkey Business Comedy Club in Camden.

Heiko Khoo interview

Last Sunday, I interviewed Heiko Khoo after his speech at Speakers’ Corner. Heiko has been a regular at Speaker’s Corner for almost 30 years and always manages to draw a sizeable crowd. He also runs the website speakerscorner.net and runs a regular radio show on Resonance FM.

I hope to be using some of this conversation in the context of a Serious Conviction book and/or exhibition next year.
