Yeshe Interviews
G’day, I’m your host, Yeshe James, an 11 year old boy based in Western Australia. Join me as I travel the world interviewing people from all walks of life, while also doing some solo episodes along the way. Come along for a fantastic ride!
Episodes
Buckle up for a rolling snapshot of real life: we pressed record in a San Francisco car with friends Ellie and Emmeline, plus Papa chiming in, and let the chaos do the steering. What came out is a fast, funny, and oddly tender ride filled with kid logic, family teasing, and those blink‑and‑you‑miss‑them moments that only happen when no one is trying too hard.
The car turns into a clubhouse stacked with tablets, squishmal...
Lago de Atitlán (Lake Atitlán) is probably the most famous part of the beautiful Central American country called Guatemala. It’s a crater lake surrounded by volcanoes, and tended by many Mayan cultures over thousands of years. Come with me as we visit some Mayan friends at the incredible Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura, or IMAP (the Mesoamerican Permaculture Institute), lakeside near San Lucas Tolimán. It’s a gr...
Yeshe was still in Savanna, Georgia, when the devastating category 4 Hurricane Helene struck the US on the 26th of September. What started as Yeshe recording how incrediblethe rain was, early in the day, became a live take on his first experience of a hurricane. Which got a bit scary as the warning sirens started wailing into the night.
This episode is dedicated to everyone affected by thedevastation of Hurricane Helene....
Join me, Yeshe, as I regale you with tales from my latest escapade. Imagine lounging on a deck free from mosquito menaces, surrounded by the peculiar mix of lush greenery and the occasional trash, all while contemplating why fake plants are the decor of choice indoors. As the tropical warmth envelops us and air conditioners hum their tune, there's a thrilling tropical storm brewing that promises an exciting twist t...
Join me, Yeshe, back where our US journey began – in northern California – as we venture into the incredible old-growth forests of Muir Woods National Monument. It was also where I earned my first Junior Ranger badge (I now have 12!). It was a very special start to our time in the US, with thanks to my friend Paul for welcoming us – and for the surprise sounds at the end of this episode.

Can we truly absorb all greenhouse gas emissions since the Industrial Revolution through natural ecosystems? Join me as I ask this confusing question to Steve Mushin, the brilliant mind behind "Ultrawild". Steve walks us through the enormity of carbon sequestration, comparing it to the mass of 2,500 Mount Everests. We also address the unsettling frequency of sewer explosions caused by methane gas buildup and i...
Can humanity sign a treaty with chickens to transform urban rooftops into thriving multi-story farms? Join me, Yeshe, as I chat with the incredibly inventive Steve Mushin, author and illustrator of Ultrawild: An audacious plan to rewild every city on earth. In this incredible discussion, Steve talks about his crazy ideas to rewild every city on Earth. From zero carbon technologies to crazy but awesome innovations, Steve...
Yeshe travels to Texas, known for its big ranches and big steaks. But he meets a brother and sister who think deeply about this, with Leo deciding to eat meat, and Penelope deciding to become vegan. They both care a lot about animals and believe in making ethical and sustainable decisions about what we eat. So Yeshe sits down with both of them in this episode, and as you’ll hear, learns plentyas he goes.
Leo goes first. ...
Yeshe has just had his mind blown in Skyspace in Canberra, where the sky is not quite as you’ve seen it before. Skyspace is right next to the National Gallery. A little path leads you underground into a secret dome. Yeshe takes us down inside the dome with his Dad, and they find some unexpected sounds in there too - an old man was playing a centuries-old Japanese bamboo flute called the shakuhachi. Maybe that’s what ins...
Welcome back to Kachana Station in the East Kimberley region of far north Western Australia, where the only way in and out is by foot or air. Part 1 featured Yeshe taking us on a little tour, when a snake turned up! This is part 2, where Yeshe is joined once again by Station Manager Chris Henggeler, a legend in regenerative agriculture. They last talked when Yeshe was 7, two years ago. So there was lots to catch up on, ...
Join Yeshe back at Kachana Station, in the East Kimberley region of far north Western Australia, where the only way in and out is by foot or air. This is the first of two parts, where Yeshe shows us around the homestead a bit. And straight away, he is visited by a very long, thin, legless friend!

Join Yeshe back at Kimberley Cottages, just outside Derby, in the Kimberley region of far north Western Australia.

Join Yeshe back at Wooleen Station, about 700 kilometres north-east of Perth, in the Murchison region of Western Australia. Zali Jestrimski has joined David and Frances Pollock out at the station, and together they've set up a dingo education centre there. Zali and David introduced Yeshe to the two dingoes behind the homestead, and one even licked Yeshe's face. Then they recorded this conversation, about dingo...
Yeshe returns to Southampton Homestead near Balingup in the south-west of WA, to resume a conversation he and regenerative chicken farmer, Jeff Pow, had started last time, on Jeff’s other great passion – astronomy. This is one for the adults too, as Yeshe and Jeff sit down under the big old oak tree, to talk about the big old universe.

Join Yeshe as he gets a chance to speak with his Uncle Nelson back home in Perth (Nelson just drove across the Nullarbor from Melbourne), about all the games they've been making - and how you can make games too. This is Yeshe's first episode at his home, on the coast in Scarborough. So you'll hear some waves and sunset wildlife too. Oh, and Yeshe also asks Nelson what he's doing to help the regenerat...
Yeshe sat down with his papa one afternoon after he was driven home from school. He was thinking about his last episode with Di Haggerty at her amazing farm. And Kachana Station back in the Kimberley. He was also noticing some solar panels in strange places back in the city. So join Yeshe back home in Perth, on the couch after school.

Join Yeshe as he visits one of the world's great examples of regenerative farming, not just in Australia but the whole world. They're in the north central wheatbelt of Western Australia. Paddocks that had turned to sand and salt are now productive again, and so much other life is returning to the land (along with carbon returning to the soils, helping reverse climate change). So when Yeshe was on his way home ...
We've got our delicious sourdough bread made with Aine in the last episode. Now it's time to make kombucha! So Yeshe is back home with his ma Olivia, to give it a crack.
