PBSL Podcast

The gals, this episode featuring our beloved Bailee, tear into celebrity culture and the line it supposedly meets sustainability. Airing out our sustainable celeb hot takes, and perhaps for the too-many-ith time this year get sidetracked on a tangent about the Kardashians. Oh those pesky pesky ladies. Tune in for laughs, disappointed tsking, and an overall good time.

In absence of our beloved Zoe, the PBSL trio: Carinna, Sarah, and Lindsay talk about Eco-Feminism. What is it? How do we feel about it? What's the internet saying about it? We hope you enjoy listening as we break past the standard definitions and into wordings of our own.

An episode all about the continuous attempts to place sustainability solely on the individuals. The PBSL gals break down some ill-fated attempts to avoid corporate accountability and discuss the always imperative community action.

The Chaotic Episode. Listen in as the girls tackles Greenwashing by corporations, clothing, and people. Sarah's mic isn't working and the gang finds themself off topic more than a few times. Have a listen!

Join the 2022 PBSL Podcast crew (Sarah, Carinna, Lindsay, and Zoe) as we discuss the upcoming election.

As we're brainstorming and recording our first episode, we wanted our listeners to get a feel of who we are and what we hope this podcast will be this year. Sarah, Zoe, Carinna, and Lindsay introduce themselves and PBSL and give the listener a sneak peek as to what the end of October episode will be! 

What a year! Join us for one final huzzah for this year as we look back at some of the amazing projects that the Planet Blue Student Leaders accomplished at the University of Michigan this school year.

This is Cameron, Jade, Meera, Armaan, and Jessica signing off! We are sending love out to all of our PBSL friends and mentors, the worms and plants in the ground who make our food, and especially you, dear listener!
