  • #30 - Live at Greenbelt Festival! (Lunatraktors)
    Oct 1 2024

    Henry & Natalie host a live episode recorded on the Rebel Rouser stage of Greenbelt Festival 2024. Featuring 'broken folk' musicians Lunatraktors: choreographer and percussionist Carli Jefferson (she/her), and partially-sighted vocalist and researcher Clair Le Couteur (they/them).

    As well as a hearty performance, we discuss the questions: what’s left when we’ve have post-apocalyptically lost everything? What is the difference between solidarity and chairty? How can we roll deeper?
