Podcasts by Hypecast

Welcome to Hypecast, a podcast by HIP V. HYPE, where we discuss new ideas around housing, sustainability and climate action to explore ways to support the sustainable growth of our cities and regions.

The HIP V. HYPE Podcast is produced in collaboration with Climactic, the podcast for the climate community. Climactic is an independent podcast network that tells the stories of people making a difference on climate change.

Hosted by Laura Phillips, Head of Editorial and Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE, the podcast features engaging narratives on how we can better enable the development of carbon neutral housing, what policy mechanisms need to be considered to support the sustainable growth of our cities, and how community led climate action can make an impact on sustaining our natural environment for future generations to come.

We respectfully acknowledge that Hypecast is recorded on traditional Aboriginal lands which have been sustained for thousands of years. We honour their ongoing connection to these lands, and seek to respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians in our work.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
