Ep. #3 - Roy Scranton

Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter. 

We believe in the possibility of personal and cultural change. And we believe that the arts and humanities can help guide us toward a more sustainable future. 

Cultures of Energy is a Mingomena Media production. Co-hosts are @DominicBoyer and @CymeneHowe
