  • Very insightful

    I listened to episode 14th October. Episode was very insightful for understanding the psychology of getting people onboard with the climate movement from a person who clearly has a lot of experience. I recommend a listen.

  • Positive but honest

    Usually when we hear stories about the climate it's either all doom and gloom or it's overly optimistic, glossing over the hard stuff. This podcast is a breath of fresh air: positive stories with depth and honesty.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Top journalist: Climate Change Is a Sexy Corruption Story | Emily Atkin
Q: What makes climate journalism different when you frame it as a power and corruption story?
Framing around power and corruption shifts focus from individual behavior to structural changes, such as holding fossil fuel industries accountable and reforming political structures and media ownership to improve transparency and public outcomes.
A psychologist’s guide to avoiding moral superiority - Per Espen Stoknes
Q: How can individuals influence climate outcomes within larger systems?
By recognizing their roles as consumer, worker, owner, and citizen, individuals can steer demand, workplace practices, investments, and political engagement toward regenerative and equitable practices. Small actions—like adopting green technologies or challenging policies—can ripple through networks and institutions, especially when paired with systemic thinking.
A psychologist’s guide to avoiding moral superiority - Per Espen Stoknes
Q: What are the main barriers that prevent people from engaging with climate on a constructive level?
The guest identifies identity, distance, doom, dissonance, denial, and the social feedback loop as core barriers. When climate messaging feels like an attack on someone's identity or autonomy, people react defensively. Reducing perceived distance and using empathic perspectives can help, and incorporating diverse messengers aids in reaching audiences who don't see themselves reflected in the conversation.
Can you eat meat AND care about the planet? | Frank Holleman, Founder of Fork Ranger
Q: What does it look like to eat more sustainably beyond simply reducing beef?
It involves a broader approach including reducing food waste at home, seasonal eating, and making sustainable choices that still feel enjoyable, not sacrificing the positive aspects of meals.
Can you eat meat AND care about the planet? | Frank Holleman, Founder of Fork Ranger
Q: What is the hardest part of eating sustainably for newcomers?
The hardest part is the behavior change itself and overcoming the fear and disruption of changing long-held habits, followed by social pressures when eating with others.
