For a year now, I’ve been recording a climate foresight podcast (When We Are). It’s a pretty informal show — essentially it’s me, riffing on a topic, unedited and unproduced (and ad-free) — but folks seem to like it.
However, astonishing as you might find the idea, not every person has listened to every show. This is true, sadly, even of regular readers of my newsletter. What has the world come to, amiright?
If you’ve been planning to give it a listen, but don’t know where to start, we’ve got you.
We went through the archive and picked out ten of the most popular episodes. Give the episodes a scroll below, and see if one catches your fancy.
Finally, When We Are is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast and so on, if you prefer. If you do use a podcast app, please consider subscribing, rating and reviewing. It really helps.
Thanks!
Now, on to the list:
Flying Blind into Chaos
The Trump gang has continued their chaos attack on America, most recently by gutting the next National Climate Assessment, including dismissing the group of scientists and experts preparing it.
Does Climate Chaos Mean You Should Just Give Up and Wait for Collapse?
You’re probably less doomed than you think.
Hunting for Home in a Climate Crisis
In this podcast, I react to the recent New York Times piece How Can I Lower My Climate Risk When Buying a House?
The Last Disaster
In this brand new When We Are podcast, I discuss why our concept of “natural disaster” — a sudden and unexpected calamitous natural event bringing great loss from which we then recover and return to normal life — is less and less useful for understanding the world we now live in.
