'Co-exist' – with AURORA, singer, songwriter and activist

AURORA is one the leading voices when it comes to the topic of music, nature and our climate crisis.

Hosts Fay Milton and Greg Cochrane met up with the Norwegian singer + songwriter in London to talk about the restorative power of nature, why she thinks activism needs to be reframed as "sexy" and how she's gone from feeling like an outlier discussing climate in music to feeling surrounded by community. AURORA also discusses her hopes for the future, including the role of individuals – "we don't all need to be Greta Thunberg" – and the type of world she would like to be writing songs about in 10 years time.

Before we leave, Fay and Greg will also share with you some recommendations (more info below).
