Alan Weisman has spent decades reporting from the edges of human presence — from Chernobyl and the Amazon to cities and coastlines under threat. His bestselling book The World Without Us imagined how Earth might recover if people suddenly vanished. His new book, Hope Dies Last, turns the lens back on humanity, profiling bold thinkers and doers who are building solutions to our most urgent crises.

In this episode, I explore Weisman's path as a journalist and adventurer of ideas, what he’s learned from witnessing environmental tipping points, and how imagination and hope can change the way we see our role on the planet.
