Joost Bakker is one of the great forward thinkers of the food industry, and today he stopped by to talk about his Farm by Joost project that is planned for a building on Collins St. The urban environment is actually quite well suited to growing food, and with the growth of our suburbs encroaching on traditional farmlands it's time to consider alternatives. Oddly the project has been rejected by the Melbourne City Council, so it's up to state planning minister Matthew Guy to decide whether the project can proceed.

Speaking of rooftops (segue!), Vanessa Kwiatkowski and Mat Lumalasi are in their third year of running Melbourne City Rooftop Honey, which now looks after 75 hives around Melbourne and the 'burbs. We spoke about how critical bees are to agriculture as a whole, and a recent move by the EU to ban neonicotinoid insecticides that have proven to be harmful to bees. We think the Australian government should do the same, and also have a close look at whether glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup cause biological harm to insects.

It's Good Beer Week! The fabulous Dave and Cam from Mountain Goat joined us in-studio, along with Eric Ottaway from Brooklyn Brewery who's in town on a pretty enviable work trip. We spoke about how the burgeoning Australian craft beer industry is also reflected in America, and the differences in beer styles and ingredients encountered as you travel around the world.

unday 19 May marks the beginning of National Archaeology Week 2013. We'll be be speaking with Winthrop Professor Peter Veth and Dr Alistair Paterson from the University of Western Australia who  will be using a $1.17m Australian Research Council Discovery Grant to undertake archaeological investigations on Barrow Island on the Western Australian north west coast, off the Pilbara. Their project researches ‘deep time’ maritime cultures, climate and ecological records over a three year period and will examine 45,000 year old material in caves and rock shelters and on open sites around the island. This significant research has the potential to provide new understanding human behavioural ecology, island biogeography, climate change and historic-era exploitation of this maritime arid zone.

We'll also poke around inside the Federal Budget to see what's there or not there for the marine environment, and catch up with Briny Brett Illingworth for the fortnight's dive diary.

If you think you're weird, on this week's episode Sean The Birdman Dooley talked twitching, then The Breakfasters learnt that what happens under the ceiling rose, stays under the ceiling rose when Marita Dyson from The Orbweavers touched on their intriguing history of ceiling roses, then it was vote 1 Stew Farrell for this week's oration 'Stop the boats!', and Tatiana Mauri from the Immigration  Museum talked about, talking about racism.
