Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
Welcome to the Green Gown Award winning Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability and Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton!
This podcast explores the greatest and most wicked problem that is sustainability, whilst looking at how we are collectively addressing this critical global challenge.
Sustainability needs to be addressed by understanding how the economy, society, culture, politics and environment intersect, and this is the focus that informs each episode of the Meliora podcast.
In each episode, host Professor Simon Kemp and guest hosts are joined by a variety of guests, including academics, students, staff, researchers, alumni, community groups and business leaders.
The aim of the podcast is to shine a light on the vast range of topics surrounding sustainability and to allow listeners to learn about the critical challenges we face, as well as how they can be part of the solution. We also ensure our fantastic students have the opportunity to share their brilliant work with the world.
Podcast host: Professor Simon Kemp, Deputy Director of the Sustainability & Resilience Institute, University of Southampton
Podcast editors: Jack Dinham, Ellie Howell, Mya Harvey, Lily Killner, Sophie Green, Libby Kale, School of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Southampton
Podcast communications: Tyler Domone-Hollands, Hannah Parish, Alexander Ayerst, Maya Stevens, University of Southampton

Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
🧟♀️🧟♂️ The Zombie Apocalypse and the Sustainable Development Goals - part 2 🧟♂️🧟♀️
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to Part 2 of our double episode asking ‘if there’s a Zombie Apocalypse, how on Earth will we achieve the Sustainable Development Goals?’. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, we suggest you listen to that first.
The brilliant Jack Dinham (UG, Meliora producer & editor) and I continue to discuss our nerdy love for zombie books, movies, and tv shows, exploring the sustainability metaphors surrounding zombie culture, and using our scoring system to determine whether a zombie apocalypse would be net positive or negative for the SDGs. Jack’s research and clarity of explanation for this double episode is amazing!
We hope you enjoy this second part of our light-hearted, popular-culture focused, off-beat and alternative entry point for addressing the SDGs. All for the greater good! 🧟♀️🧟♂️
