17. Skyspace (or is it Skybubble?!)
Yeshe has just had his mind blown in Skyspace in Canberra, where the sky is not quite as you’ve seen it before. Skyspace is right next to the National Gallery. A little path leads you underground into a secret dome. Yeshe takes us down inside the dome with his Dad, and they find some unexpected sounds in there too - an old man was playing a centuries-old Japanese bamboo flute called the shakuhachi. Maybe that’s what inspired Yeshe to reveal some big news down there too. So get ready for a mind bending, ear bending, space bending time!

16. Do we really eat rocks? Back at Kachana Station in the Kimberley with Chris Henggeler
Welcome back to Kachana Station in the East Kimberley region of far north Western Australia, where the only way in and out is by foot or air. Part 1 featured Yeshe taking us on a little tour, when a snake turned up! This is part 2, where Yeshe is joined once again by Station Manager Chris Henggeler, a legend in regenerative agriculture. They last talked when Yeshe was 7, two years ago. So there was lots to catch up on, questions to ask, and more surprising answers!
15. Come on a little tour of Kachana Station in the Kimberley
Join Yeshe back at Kachana Station, in the East Kimberley region of far north Western Australia, where the only way in and out is by foot or air. This is the first of two parts, where Yeshe shows us around the homestead a bit. And straight away, he is visited by a very long, thin, legless friend!
14. Where are the guineafowl now? (And the ducks turn up!)
Join Yeshe back at Kimberley Cottages, just outside Derby, in the Kimberley region of far north Western Australia. The most popular episode on this podcast was here last time - episode 4: Where are the guineafowl? Today, Yeshe goes looking for them again - are they still here? And what else is around now?
13. Can dingoes regenerate millions of acres of land? With Zali & Dave at Wooleen Station
Join Yeshe back at Wooleen Station, about 700 kilometres north-east of Perth, in the Murchison region of Western Australia. Zali Jestrimski has joined David and Frances Pollock out at the station, and together they've set up a dingo education centre there. Zali and David introduced Yeshe to the two dingoes behind the homestead, and one even licked Yeshe's face. Then they recorded this conversation, about dingoes! Could they really help regenerate a lot of Australia?
12. Earth & space & chickens & how they're all connected, with Jeff Pow
Yeshe returns to Southampton Homestead near Balingup in the south-west of WA, to resume a conversation he and regenerative chicken farmer, Jeff Pow, had started last time, on Jeff’s other great passion – astronomy. This is one for the adults too, as Yeshe and Jeff sit down under the big old oak tree, to talk about the big old universe.
11. Travelling Guatemala & Thailand, with Papa
Join Yeshe as he gets his papa to sit across the table for some Friday night banter. They talk about firecrackers in Guatemala, car crashes in Thailand, and how to make sure your kids don't have nightmares.
10. Making Games, with Nelson Cheng
Join Yeshe as he gets a chance to speak with his Uncle Nelson back home in Perth (Nelson just drove across the Nullarbor from Melbourne), about all the games they've been making - and how you can make games too. This is Yeshe's first episode at his home, on the coast in Scarborough. So you'll hear some waves and sunset wildlife too. Oh, and Yeshe also asks Nelson what he's doing to help the regeneration of the planet.
9. What's a regenerable lawn mower? With Papa
Yeshe sat down with his papa one afternoon after he was driven home from school. He was thinking about his last episode with Di Haggerty at her amazing farm. And Kachana Station back in the Kimberley. He was also noticing some solar panels in strange places back in the city. So join Yeshe back home in Perth, on the couch after school.
8. How do you harvest all this (and can I drive the harvesting machine)? With regenerative farming legend Dianne Haggerty
Join Yeshe as he visits one of the world's great examples of regenerative farming, not just in Australia but the whole world. They're in the north central wheatbelt of Western Australia. Paddocks that had turned to sand and salt are now productive again, and so much other life is returning to the land (along with carbon returning to the soils, helping reverse climate change). So when Yeshe was on his way home to Perth, from the Kimberley, he dropped in to say hi and see what all this harvesting was about. And the morning after this conversation, he jumped in with Ian Haggerty for a drive of the big harvesting machine. (We'll put a photo up here soon!)
7. Now it's time to make kombucha, with Olivia
We've got our delicious sourdough bread made with Aine in the last episode. Now it's time to make kombucha! So Yeshe is back home with his ma Olivia, to give it a crack.
6. Baking delicious sourdough bread, with Aine McConnell
Join Yeshe as he heads over to his neighbour Aine's place, to learn how to bake delicious sourdough bread.
5. Flying out to Kachana Station, with Chris Henggeler
Join Yeshe on a light plane out to the remote Kachana Station, in the Kimberleys of Western Australia. It's where Chris Henggeler has been for over 30 years, and it's now one of the most amazing stories of landscape regeneration in the world. Chris flies Yeshe and his family out to the Station, where they're greeted by Chris's wife Jacqueline. Later, Chris and Yeshe sit down outside the homestead for a yarn.
4. Where are the guineafowl?
Today Yeshe takes us on a tour of the incredible permaculture property he’s staying at in Derby, Western Australia.
3. The Derby Produce Show (and prizes!), with Olivia
The results are in! Join Yeshe and Olivia at the Derby Produce Show, and hear how they went with their baked goods. (You'll hear a bit of Anthony - aka papa - at the start too)
2. Baking, with Olivia
Yeshe interviews his mama Olivia, as they bake some goodies for the Derby Produce Show this weekend.
