Time to reflect, but also look into the future: We've reached the final episode of this series of Sounds Like A Plan.

During this season-ending podcast your hosts Fay Milton and Greg Cochrane unpack some of the topics, guests and moments we've shared over the past 10 weeks. We thank all of our guests: from AURORA to Nick Mulvey, Jaspher Ewany to Nicky Hawkins, discussing themes as varied as making a carbon neutral album to offering vegan food at gigs.

This episode also takes a look ahead, and plug you into some climate/music action happening in the coming months (more info and links below).

Until next time we meet, thank you to all of our fantastic listeners. We hope you've got lots of inspiration from tuning in.

AURORA is one the leading voices when it comes to the topic of music, nature and our climate crisis.

Hosts Fay Milton and Greg Cochrane met up with the Norwegian singer + songwriter in London to talk about the restorative power of nature, why she thinks activism needs to be reframed as "sexy" and how she's gone from feeling like an outlier discussing climate in music to feeling surrounded by community. AURORA also discusses her hopes for the future, including the role of individuals – "we don't all need to be Greta Thunberg" – and the type of world she would like to be writing songs about in 10 years time.

Before we leave, Fay and Greg will also share with you some recommendations (more info below).

Studio Richter Mahr is a multi-arts space recently opened by world-renowned composer Max Richter and award-winning visual artist Yulia Mahr. What they call their "art factory in the wood".

20 years in the planning, the space is carbon negative and created with sustainability at its heart – initiatives include generating their own clean solar energy to a kitchen garden serving food in the on-site cafe.

Max and Yulia speak to hosts Fay Milton and Greg Cochrane about the design of the Oxfordshire studio, how they're opening it to emerging artists and the challenge of creating art that's themed around the climate emergency.

As always, we'll also leave you with some recommendations.
