Issue 1560 - Earth Day 2023

In a world exclusive, global superstar Rita Ora and legendary DJ Norman ‘Fatboy Slim’ Cook come together right here, right now to talk about their new collaboration, reimagining iconic song Praise You for a new age.

Earth Day 2023

This year, with an Earth Day theme of a need for bold action, in this special edition we look at the issues impacting now – how to green our energy, but also serve a need to become energy self-sufficient; how to deal with the human displacement that climate change causes; how to stop rivers being so polluted. And a look at how we can help, even in death.
