Carbon Lifeforms to return to Radio 4
Carbon Lifeforms, the climate focused comedy show hosted by Jon Long and Dr Tara Shine, is to return to Radio 4 for more episodes.
The format launched on Radio 4 as a pilot in July 2022, before returning to the airwaves a year later for a second episode. A Christmas special followed in December 2023.
Producers unusual productions are now gearing up to record further episodes. They say: "Jon Long teams up with Dr Tara Shine for more of the hybrid comedy-magazine show that emits jokes and facts (carbon) capture all things climate and environment - demystifying the issues and helping listeners make positive choices in their everyday lives.
"We've covered: Food, Travel and Christmas, so what's next? Well, it turns out that our previous episodes did not solve the climate crisis on their own. So, for this series, we will be looking at the topics of The Internet and AI, Waste Management and Recycling, and The Fashion Footprint with new in-studio guests and on-location experts, more games, more practical advice, more cold hard stats, and the return of Greenwash of the Week to shout out the heroes and villains of the climate crisis."
The episodes will be recorded at The Phoenix Arts Club on Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st August. Free tickets
