Idealistically

This is an introductory episode to my new podcast called, Lights, Climate, Action, which I co-host with Jake Randall. Listeners of Idealistically can now find me talking about movies and TV through a climate lens. Thank you for being a subscriber to Idealistically and for supporting my new podcast endeavours!

Lights, Climate, Action is now streaming:

Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1794154417?mt=2

Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1wm3SsTjqachqn6Aq0k3V9

In each episode, Jake & Tolly look at a film or TV series and discuss what it does and doesn't get right on climate change, from fossil fuel propaganda and environmental disasters to cartoons and comedy.

Jake Randall is a cinephile with a film degree, a love for all things A24 and the odd musical. He works in comms and video production in the climate change and human rights sector.

Tolmeia Gregory is an artist who loves a tearjerker or a rom-com. She currently works as an artist and climate campaigner focused on fossil fuel advertising.
