Today on Pod, Actually we’re joined by Nina, who brings her curiosity, candor, and climate passion to the table as she tells us why she loves Climate One.

Climate One is a long-running public radio show that tackles the climate crisis from every angle: science, policy, business, activism—and yes, the messy human feelings underneath it all.

Nina explains what keeps her coming back:

• the calm, thoughtful tone
• the refusal to flatten complex debates
• the way the show holds space for nuance without drifting into despair

We also talk about:

• how to stay informed without burning out
• the emotional toll of following climate news
• why conversation still matters
• and what it means to engage with big, existential issues in a way that feels grounding rather than overwhelming

This episode is about finding clarity in chaos and about the podcasts that help us make sense of the world.
