In the latest episode of #TheSubversePodcast, Uttara Narayan talks about the impact of constructing renewable energy infrastructure and the conflicts that arise from it.
Uttara uses the example of how overground power lines from renewable energy companies are threatening the already dwindling #greatindianbustard population to highlight this.
It's a story that @bahardutt wrote about a few months ago for @the_hindu. You can read it here:

You can listen to 'Renewable energy: clean, green, or mean?' on @ApplePodcasts podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/ren… and all other #podcast listening apps. #TheSubversePodcast

Editor @whatallydid has a show recommendation. “When I heard that there was going to be a prequel to the original Star Trek series, I must confess that I found myself thinking - another one? Any Star Wars fan knows the pain of prequels. So multiple prequels just sounded bizarre!"

"But thankfully, since I didn't grow up watching Star Trek (I was and still am a Star Wars fan, and my heart will always reside in a galaxy far, far away), and since it does involve some of my favourite things, I've found myself enjoying it as an adult."

This week, we have @menakaraman from our team making a book recommendation: "Comixsense is a brand new, quarterly comic magazine edited by Orijit Sen and published by Ektara Trust. It aims to feed the ‘intelligence, imagination and empathy’ of young readers between 12-17."
@menakaraman says: "I loved Roots in issue 2 written by @cgsalamander and illustrated by Lokesh Khodke. Based on a story the author had reported for @MongabayIndia, it looks at the Pazhaverkadu, or mangrove forests of the Pulicat Lake."
"Young Rahman plants saplings in the water with his grandfather, in an attempt to protect the coast from the Thimingala — a ferocious folkloric monster that ‘swerves and swells, slithers and sides, swallowing shores’ and is a manifestation of the sea itself."

In A Natural Dissonance, conservationist @venadavenu examines our relationship with the natural world, and the collective dissonance that we experience when it comes to forging real connections with the life forms living alongside us: darknlight.com/projects/a-nat…
@venadavenu asks: Why is it that we marvel at the beauty of butterflies but flick away caterpillars? Why do we prefer manicured perfection in our gardens over natural growth? Why do we care more about large mammals in faraway places than the tiny creatures in our own backyards?
Read this lovely personal essay by @venadavenu to find out how she became besotted with spiders, why it’s essential to cultivate a culture of curiosity early, and what environmental generational amnesia is all about: darknlight.com/projects/a-nat…

It’s been fun and illuminating to speak to all our guests on The Subverse so far. From poetry and protein-folding, to movement and disappearing community spaces, we have discussed a wide range of weird and wonderful topics. #podcasts
In episode 1 of The Subverse, @devakipanini spoke to us about smaller, less celebrated species which are often left out of conservation efforts. Listen here: spoti.fi/3sFHP5F
In episode 3 of The Subverse, we invited @NityJayaraman to tell the story of Chennai's Poromboke commons. Listen here: spoti.fi/3mnfyQb

In-house editor @whatallydid shares a book recommendation, just in time for the weekend. If you’ve been looking for something immersive, look no further. #reading #fantasy #nkjemisin #bookrecco
@whatallydid says: "I was late to the N.K Jemisin phenomena, but I'm almost grateful that I didn't discover her before. Because her Broken Earth series got me through the first few terrible weeks of lockdown."
I don't want to give away too much of the plot because it's SO interesting. But at the time, the world seemed to be spinning off its axis and in Jemisin's books, we learn what happens after the world ends. Again. And again. And again.
