Andrew Lewin and Tao Leigh Goffe dive deep into the intersection of storytelling, culture, and the urgent issue of climate change with renowned scholar Tao Leigh Goffe. Through an engaging conversation, we explore how storytelling serves as a bridge between individuals, communities, and the global climate crisis. Tao highlights the importance of amplifying voices from marginalized and vulnerable communities on the frontlines of environmental change.

We discuss the power of cultural narratives to inspire action, reframe perspectives, and foster empathy in addressing the climate crisis. Tao emphasizes how the arts, history, and personal storytelling can challenge dominant narratives about climate change, making the issue more accessible and emotionally impactful.

The episode also examines the ocean's role in storytelling, its significance to cultural identity, and how its degradation affects communities worldwide. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how storytelling can be a transformative tool in mobilizing change, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering a collective commitment to protecting our planet.
