Ripe. When a fruit is ripe, it is time to pick it and eat it. If you say the time is ripe, then now is the time for action. Ripe means ready.

Episode Eleven–Jessica Sweiden (Synchronicity Earth)
In this episode we sit down and talk with the inspiring Jessica Sweiden, who is the founding director with her husband Adam Sweiden of the environmental charity organisation Synchronicity Earth. Synchronicity Earths mission statement is to – “act to address overlooked and underfunded conservation challenges for globally threatened species and ecosystems.”
One of the key factors that makes Synchronicity Earth such a unique charity is that they frequently work along side the creative industry – Jessica explains how that came into effect and what the benefits are behind that for a charity.
We touch on protest and activism via thoughts on the extinction rebellion and also gain a wider understanding of the palm oil industry. We talk about what biodiversity and monoculture is. And it also becomes apparent that Peter Gabriel is in fact a G.

Episode Ten – Gav Lawson (THTC)
THTC is an ethically driven clothing label. They produce eco-friendly and politically conscious street wear, made from hemp, carbon-neutral organic cotton, and recycled salvage plastic fibres. Planted by the Lawson brothers back in 1999, THTC was watered with urban music, and fed with a love of life and street culture. THTC has since grown into an influential global street-wear brand, with a flourishing online community.
We sit down, drink hemp tea and talk about the music scene, the artist Mau Mau, the implications of being a pioneer eco fashion brand and of course the cannabis plant and the theories that surround its legality. Did you know that one of Henry Ford’s first cars was made of hemp plastic, the first Levis jeans were hemp and the canopy of a wagon was also made from the cannabis plant? THTC is also passionate about the environment, conservation, activism and they have invested in helping orangutans, rainforest conservation, the ocean and many other causes.
Adam also confesses to sampling (research of course) the ‘McVegan’ in a Swedish McDonalds…YIKES!

Podcast manifesto…
Via open discussions and exploration into environmental issues with experts in their given field, we aim to unearth the ways that many inspiring individuals are picking their own ripened fruits.
Discussions will be across the board, including; artists, musicians, poets, scientists, chefs, curators, environmentalists, and many more.
The common thread will be one of love for the natural environment and their concerns of climate change. Each podcast features four records played in stereo format on a record player, powered by Unit 137 sound system.
One track will be selected by our guest, one by Hylu, one by Masai and then a remix or similar of our guests track.
A bit about Hylu and Masai
Hylu and Masai met over 7 years ago in London – a shared love for sound system culture and vinyl has repeatedly found the two wrestling for a way to merge their artistic talents. Sometimes to make that work you have to look outside the box. Both vegan and highly concerned about the effects of climate change and global warming, conversation often returned to discoveries of; superfoods, environmental policies and political negligence. It has been realized that the conversations had, could be of interest to others and that guests could in turn broaden their own knowledge, and so born was “All Fruits Ripe”
HYLU:
An innovative DJ/producer/engineer and founding director of Unit 137, a collective of progressive musicians, vocalists, producers, sound engineers, DJs, VJs, videographers and photographers drawn together by a shared passion for conscious, forward thinking bass music. Unit 137 are based in SE London (Lewisham), where their recording studio, record label and sound system are all located.
LOUIS MASAI:
A visual artist based in London that uses his research of endangered species as a topic of discussion to heighten the general public’s awareness of the ‘sixth mass extinction’. When not working in the studio Masai travels around the world painting murals in cities, towns and villages, these are often of locally endangered species. It has been documented that his paintings have reached out to people in ways that environmentalists and activists find hard to capture. To this effect he often works alongside scientists, and conservationists as well as environmentally thinking companies.
