Moving beyond the adversarial tone that dominates news and social media, Tonal offers powerful and entertaining listening— professional, political, ecological and spiritual—while keeping a close ear on the river herself.
'Tonal is for anyone who wants to know rivers, to move beyond the headlines about sewage and to engage with the many problems UK rivers suffer, and the joyous opportunities and inspiration they offer,’ says Feral Practice.
Recorded on riverbank walks, the podcast features a rich mix of voices— from politicians and ecologists to water industry professionals, artists, farmers, activists, poets, lawyers, and spiritual practitioners. Each guest unwraps a distinctive relationship to water, exploring urgent topics such as flooding, pollution, biodiversity, and the rights of nature movement. Together, they build a diverse archive of river knowledge.
