Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
Welcome to the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability and Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton!
This podcast explores the greatest and most wicked problem that is sustainability, whilst looking at how we are collectively addressing this critical global challenge.
Sustainability needs to be addressed by understanding how the economy, society, culture, politics and environment intersect, and this is the focus that informs each episode of the Meliora podcast.
In each episode, host Professor Simon Kemp and guest hosts are joined by a variety of guests, including academics, students, staff, researchers, alumni, community groups and business leaders.
The aim of the podcast is to shine a light on the vast range of topics surrounding sustainability and to allow listeners to learn about the critical challenges we face, as well as how they can be part of the solution. We also ensure our fantastic students have the opportunity to share their brilliant work with the world.
Podcast host: Professor Simon Kemp, Deputy Director of the Sustainability & Resilience Institute, University of Southampton
Podcast editors: Lily Killner, Sophie Green, Libby Kale, Jack Dinham, School of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Southampton

Life as Podcast Co-Creators, Editors, Interns, and University Students - Lily Killner & Sophie Green
It is with a heavy heart that we close the student takeover season of the Meliora podcast with an episode all about our amazing co-creators, editors and interns Lily Killner and Sophie Green who are about to graduate and leave us :(
In this episode we chat about how Sophie and Lily applied for an internship that wasn't actually quite what they were sold, how clueless we were with everything when starting the co-creation of the podcast, what it's like to be a student intern whilst also completing their degree studies, and their plans for the future. We then close with a sad farewell (for now).
This episode marks the end of an era. We wouldn't have even got to recording and releasing an episode if it wasn't for these two wonderful colleagues. I will be forever grateful, will really miss working with them, and they are obviously always part of the podcast team.
Guests: Lily Killner (BSc Environmental Science Graduate) and Sophie Green (BSc Geography Graduate)
Host: Prof Simon Kemp
Editor: Lily Killner
