This week's theme comes to us from Andy Kubis and is called *There is No Planet B.* Andy chose 5 podcast episodes that fit within that theme. You can find this week’s newsletter here:


Here’s why Andy chose this theme:
There are a bunch of really good podcasts about our climate crisis that I think more people should know about. Whether you want to learn something new or just be entertained, there’s something for you.

MONDAY: Drilled - Weaponizing False Equivalence - 17 minutes

Drilled investigates the propaganda campaign of the century — the creation of climate denial. It plays like your favorite true crime podcasts.


TUESDAY: TILclimate - TIL about fossil fuels - 10 minutes

Learn about climate change from real experts in this podcast from MIT. In this recent episode, host Laur Hesse Fisher demystifies fossil fuels: what are the different kinds, and how do they compare to one another?



WEDNESDAY: The European Skeptics Podcast - Cranky Uncle Vs. Climate Change - 60 minutes

This episode explains how to use humor as a tool for science communication, even in your own family.


THURSDAY: Mothers of Invention - Fish out of Hot Water - 44 minutes

Former Irish president Mary Robinson and comedian Maeve Higgins join forces in this uplifting (yes, really) podcast. Each episode celebrates amazing women doing remarkable things in pursuit of climate justice. This one features an indigenous rights leader seeking justice for women and girls left behind by climate migration.


FRIDAY: Trump on Earth - Global Warming: How Bad Could it Be? - 21 minutes

The Trump administration is full of climate deniers working around the clock to undo environmental protections. This podcast tries to keep up. This episode asks the question: does a reckoning with some of the horrifying possibilities of global warming move us to action or to complacency?
