Orbost Community Arts Centre | "Giddy for the Griddy" Better Buses | Water Survival Part 1

Feeling anxious about our bleak times? Community infrastructure and good preparation will be key to surviving these uncertain times!The show begins with a little soap box about how we can organise to look after eachother and jam up the gears of war, environmental destruction and social injustice. We then hear from Orbost Arts Centre from one of the founders Ruth Henderson. Orbost Arts Centre was built and maintianed by the Orbost community. They deliver arts programs all year round as well as functioning as a communtiy space for other music, health and other activities. https://www.orbostartscentre.com/ Are you giddy for the griddy!? We report back from Better Buses symposium the west deserves the best.

The world has entered a terrifying era of global water bankruptcy according to the latest UN Report. Water is precious resource and we may find ourselves in the future experiencing periods of water shortages. So why don't you start learning some basic ways to collect water and use it on your garden? We ran out of time this week to go indepth but stay tuned for next episode where you can learn more ways to collect water, the complexities of purifying and filtering your water, and most importantly ideas for building a community water infrastructure! MUSIC! Today we hear a really special new release from Ellie Ware! Following on from their debut release Find You in 2025, 'For I live only in my skin' is a collection of 3 distinct tracks tied together by memories, love, the same table and the same dang guitar. While Ellie makes chips away at her own music in a measured pace alongside living out in the world, they are no stranger to the musical realm, performing regularly with local acts such as Sunny Morris, Hugo Van Buuren, and Jack Gaby (Stella Donnelly) and most recently Nat Pavlovic (Jen Cloher, the Dianas, Snowy Band).https://ellieware.bandcamp.com/album/for-i-live-only-in-my-skinCheck out their music video feature beautiful native grasses!  Four Tales by Matilde Meirelese https://cronica.bandcamp.com/album/four-tales Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence! by Tilde Joy and Amy Aednat Ciara
