We have reached the third season of The Life Cycle, and this time around we want to bring the podcast right down to earth and get in deep with the things that matter to us all and our collective future. And what better way to do that than to have long, engaged conversations with some brilliant people? We talk food, we talk fertility, we talk about life online and we also visit the site of one of humanity’s most exciting endeavors: the mission to create nuclear fusion here on Earth, and harness the power of the Sun itself! Beginning with a chat with Klang CEO Mundi Vondi, this season promises to deepen our understanding of the life cycle, and just what it is we’re all doing here….

John Holten is a novelist and Klang Game’s Narrative Director. His novels include The Trains of Europe (2024), Oslo, Norway (2015) and The Readymades (2011). His writing has recently appeared in Welt am Sonntag, frieze, and The Stinging Fly.

  • S3E9: ‘This New Fire’ with Pietro Barabaschi

    S3E9: ‘This New Fire’ with Pietro Barabaschi
    Oct 8 2024

    In our last episode from ITER, we round out season 3 with an exclusive interview with the head of ITER, Pietro Barabaschi! John and Eva got the chance to chat to Pietro about what it’s like running an international undertaking such as ITER, and how one needs to have a special relationship to time itself when it comes to the search for nuclear fusion. Plus we also hear some great insights on problem solving.

    Born in 1965 in Milan, Italy, Pietro Barabaschi, an electro-mechanical engineer by training, has dedicated virtually his entire career to fusion research. He began his tenure as Director-General of the ITER Organization in October 2022.

    Oct 1 2024

    Take a trip, and visit the incredible site of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor in Provence in the south of France. In this episode, Eva and John get a tour of the huge international effort to recreate what happens in our Sun: nuclear fusion. An immensely ambitious, multi-generational project, we promise this is quite a trip!

  • S3E7: Just What Is ITER?

    S3E7: Just What Is ITER?
    Sep 24 2024

    Our ability to create energy is everything. When looking to the future, one thing is clear—humanity needs to find ways of harnessing power that is sustainable and good for the planet. One such source of energy is similar to what powers the sun (and therefore all of life as we know it): nuclear fusion. Not to be confused with nuclear fission, fusion is a potential energy source that would be clean, efficient, and limitless. In the first of three parts, John and Eva look at the history of our understanding of this potential wonder energy and chart the development of today’s efforts to unlock the power of the sun.
