The failed promise of lab-grown meat, plus digging up the campsites of Queensland's Native Mounted Police
About this episode
The episode discusses the shortcomings of lab-grown meat and archaeological findings related to Queensland's Native Mounted Police.
By now lab-grown meat was supposed to be a tasty, affordable, ethical food option, reducing the harms of industrial livestock farming. But these hi-tech ventures have failed to deliver on the hype. Plus, revelations from archaeological work at the old campsites of Queensland's notorious Native Mounted Police. Guests: Erin Somers, writer, essayist, critic and novelist. Author of 'Where's the beef', the cover story of the September edition of Harper's Magazine. Heather Burke, co-author with Lynley Wallis and Bryce Barker of 'Buried: Archaeology, frontier conflict and the QLD Native Mounted Police' (Sydney University Press)
