The podcast episodes explore how anthropocentrism, or human supremacy over non-human life, is a key problematic underpinning of modern society and its ecological crises.

The episodes critique anthropocentric narratives and hierarchies, and position alternative worldviews, such as those of lichens and Indigenous philosophies, as models for decentering human perspectives and fostering more relational, biocentric approaches.

Overall, the episodes make a strong case that overcoming anthropocentrism is crucial for addressing environmental degradation, climate change, and other pressing issues facing our planet.
