Can climate change be funny? That's what we're here to find out from the experts, Katie Hannigan (she/her) and Esteban Gast (he/him). If this conversation was any indication, the answer is a resounding — yes. Katie and Esteban are a part of the Climate Comedy Cohort from Generation 180 and Center for Media & Social Impact’s GoodLaugh initiative. Both are impressive performers (catch that time Katie was on Colbert or Esteban had his own TV show) looking to incorporate climate in their work. We know you'll love them as much as we do.

We speak with Carah Ronan (she/her), a neighbor from the Thiel Road Coalition, a grassroots group in Laurel, MT working to save their home from an unwanted gas pipeline. Carah teaches us about what's at stake for her community, the lengths those in power are willing to go to get what they want, and above all, why we must all keep fighting. After all, what other choice do we have? *** Connect with Thiel Road https://www.instagram.com/thielroadcoalition/ https://www.facebook.com/Thielroadcoalition-105573365393364/

With a climate movement full of young people, what should we be learning from student activists? What do student activists still need to work on? In this pod, we learn from Megan Raisle (she/her), former student divestment activist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Among other things, we cover her time observing the COPs, the importance of institutional knowledge, putting people's humanity above all else (but sometimes getting pissed anyway), and how the climate movement is like playing jenga... and dominoes.  Resources: Divestment: https://divestmentdatabase.org/ and https://www.divest101.com/  How to be a climate activist at work: https://drawdown.org/sites/default/files/210920_Drawdown_AtWork_06.pdf
