Sweet Little Human
Poor Mother Nature. It's been a tough few thousand years. Tired and traumatized by relentless human expansion, they battle many of the ills that plague humans today: Addiction, anxiety, depression. And, of course, cynical, unpredictable rage.
Their only solace? A good glass of whisky with their clumsy assistant Mr. Bee.
But all is not lost. Mother Nature decides it's time to make a change. And what better way to tell a tragic story about humans but through yet another podcast?
Enter 'Sweet Little Human' - a podcast all about the mess humans have made on planet Earth and their incredible ability to ignore and sidestep the issue. Even if it means the end for their silly little species.
Written, edited and produced by Nikolaj Kirk, Roxanne Batty, Jens Raunkjær and Magnus Møller. Featuring Iggy Pop as Mother Nature, Anjuli Deo as The Editor, and Maya Tekeli as Freelance Journalist Maya Tekeli.
