Exploring the relationship of how we are both shaping and being shaped by our surroundings through embodied conversations with artists and thinkers, the Worlding Podcast expands our awareness of our more-than human surroundings and traces interpersonal connections by inviting each guest to recommend an important person for them to be interviewed next, similar to a string figure. Hosted by dance artist Renae Shadler, this show has an organic life of its own and tends to meander in unpredictable and unexpected ways.

Benny Nemer has always been curious about relationships, especially love relationships, but not exclusively. Benny works as a multidisciplinary artist, diarist and researcher.

Queerness as a method, as an aesthetic and also an intrigue in the way that queers form relationships beyond the kind of reproductive family structures that are valorised and emphasised by dominant western culture.
From there, Benny and Renae meander into more-than human realms by focusing on Benny’s audio guide “Trees Are Fags” (2018) which encourages the listener to find a park, or the garden of their mind to perform a series of choreographed cruising gestures, referring to “the trees that populate those places where men congregate to have sex”.
