Language : English Available : wherever you get your podcasts Catchphrase : Earthlings , we ’ ve got work to do . Hosts : Alex Blumberg , co-founder and CEO of Gimlet Media , and Dr . Ayana Elizabeth Johnson , scientist and policy nerd Best listened to : when taking long , meandering walks , hoping the baby will keep sleeping
In the words of the host himself ( Alex Bloomberg ), “ What do we need to do to address the climate crisis and how do we make those things happen ?”
With 10 episodes created so far , I find that this podcast provides great information on multiple areas of climate change . The stories and information they report on are full of scientific data but easy to understand and apply to daily life . The episodes are filled with interviews from those in the field or those who have personal experiences , with the effect being a well-rounded reporting on the topic . In a time where climate change discussions and facts can feel overwhelming and bleak , this podcast contains laughter and jokes and helps me to feel more knowledgeable about the data surrounding climate change . The episode I like the best is “ Fighting Fire with Fire ,” as it relates to a current event that is close to my heart , the terrible fire season happening now in Colorado . At the end of each episode , the hosts ask their guests , “ How screwed are we … and what can we actually do ”— so take those action points and get to work on saving the planet !
