  • Planet Pod on the edge with Extinction Rebellion's Dr Gail Bradbrook and Roger Hallam

    We grabbed the opportunity to catch up with Extinction Rebellion's Dr Gail Bradbrook and Roger Hallam, together with Teddy - one of the campaign's younger members - as they made preparations for Extinction Rebellion's press conference in a busy (and quite noisy!) London pub.  We apologise for the sound quality but, we hope, the message will still be crystal clear!
