    • Where Did All The Narrative Climate Podcasts Go – Narrative climate podcasts are under threat. The move away from this format to cheaper chat-casts with talking heads can alienate listeners and lack much-needed context, moving us further away from fostering empathy and collaboration for a livable future for all. 
      • Join climate podcasters Jordan Gass-Pooré (“Hazard NJ,” “Fumed”), Amy Westervelt (co-creator of “Hot Take” and the long-running podcasts “Drilled” and “Damages”), Olga Loginova (creator of the investigative podcast “Leaving the Island”), and Dan Leone (host of “Ripple,” an investigative podcast about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill) to learn how we can save this format from going extinct.
