  • Argh! Bad narrator!

    The content is excellent, however, the narrator needs to go back to her day job, as she’s extremely difficult to listen to. I have given up trying to listen to this podcast due to the narrator’s very odd style of speech and rhythm. Who on earth gave this woman a job as a narrator!?

  • Amazing… but *this* part is laughable

    This is an amazing show. I have listened to every single episode that has been released… but then I started hearing Mobil gas station ads EVERY commercial break. The irony of listening to the “evils” of ExxonMobil and then realizing they are paying YOU for ad space is palpable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Everything You Need to Know about COP 31 | The Spill
Q: Can you tell us a bit about or give us an update of where we are with that fund and how that negotiations around loss and damage will be present or absent from COP31 agenda?
Singh says the fund has received about $822 million in pledges, with roughly half received, but remains far below the hundreds of billions needed annually. He notes Nepal's recovery needs are close to $5 billion and says the fund's slow response and limited access leave communities without timely support.
Everything You Need to Know about COP 31 | The Spill
Q: What are the big ticket items that the climate justice movement, the social movement will have their eyes on this year in Turkey?
Singh identifies transitioning away from fossil fuels, developing a just transition mechanism, climate finance, adaptation and loss and damage as key priorities.
Three Climate Journalists Take on Digger | The Spill
Q: Tell us a little bit about what you found. We'll put links to the stories in the show notes too, but tell us a little bit about how this project is impacting the communities and its path.
She says communities describe land acquisition as a land grab, citing inadequate consultation and compensation, displacement from grazing land and ancestral burial sites, and impacts on cultural places.
Three Climate Journalists Take on Digger | The Spill
Q: How did you first start reporting on oil and gas? What kind of drew you into looking at that?
She grew up around environmental activists, studied journalism and communication, and moved from communications work into reporting because she wanted to tell community stories directly.
The Paradox of Mining Lithium to Save the Planet | The Spill
Q: Are there any commonalities or tactics or strategies that you've observed among these communities, people who are resisting extractive capitalism that have made them successful?
Riofrancos says resistance is often activated by the combination of serious anticipated harms and exclusion from decisions. Early organizing, strong community ties, shared purpose, and coordinated plans can improve the chances of influencing a project, winning protections or benefits, or stopping it.
