Show notes:

We cannot get enough of climate fiction. It’s our new favorite, #sorrynotsorry. There’s something about how real it feels and about how humanity tries to survive that really appeals to us. In this episode, we talk about what exactly climate fiction is, and we share some of our tried and true cli-fi favorites, along with some titles we haven’t read yet but really want to.
