LIVE PODCAST - Conversation Between Trees - Professor Rachel Standish
Conversation Between Trees wasn’t just another podcast recording; it was a moment that redefined the idea of the public lecture, a tradition that has been with us for centuries. Hosted by the Harry Butler Institute at Murdoch University, this was the first live podcast I’ve ever done, and it was an experience that meant so much to both Rachel and me.
Together, in front of a vibrant, engaged audience, we celebrated Rachel’s promotion to Professor while weaving science, storytelling, and laughter into something entirely new. Unlike the classic lecture format, this conversation unfolded in real time, unscripted, alive, bringing listeners and the audience into the heart of what science communication can be.
This event marked a new way of sharing knowledge, bridging the deep roots of academic tradition with the dynamic immediacy of podcasting. For Rachel and me, it was more than a recording; it was a night that blended community, history, and innovation into one unforgettable exchange.
