About the show

The Campfire Podcast is a series of conversations hosted by documentary filmmaker Mattias Olsson, from Campfire Stories. Through encounters with activists, thinkers, artists, farmers and other people finding their own ways forward, we explore the roots of our ecological and social troubles — and the possibilities for living differently. The question at the heart of the podcast is this: If the world is headed in the wrong direction, what might the beginnings of a right direction look like? Hosted on Acast.
