I've edited the conversations together to share all the bestest bits with you. My favourite review so far is 'I felt stirred but hopeful' (my mum*****.) It's recommended to start at the beginning, theres an arc. (We might need one in the current state of affairs.) I don't want to show off, but I've got one or two very cool potty mouthed pals (i.e. there's a couple of unbeeped sweary words. Just tame ones.) https://twitter.com/ClimatesPodcasthttps://climates.captivate.fmyesserialThe End of the BeginningThe End of the BeginningIt's the final episode. Will there be a happy ending?

Conversation 99 is with my patient husband.

Conversation 100 is all about the Pop Up Tomorrow event. Read more about it here. https://transitionnetwork.org/news-and-blog/popuptomorrow-voices/

I include all my brilliant ideas. I would love to hear yours. Will you send me them?

I end on an invitation. Would you like to do the next series?

Is growing your veggies in peaty compost actually doing more harm than good?

Can we ever care as much about trees going extinct as we do about animals going extinct.

This is the Climactic episode.

It is the one with the birdsong.

Adults bringing up children and children bringing up adults in a Climate Emergency. How and when do we talk about this with our kids- is it OK to scare the children?

What was it like lying down in the road waiting to be arrested? How do you feel about your mum being arrested? Why are you wearing flippers and goggles? Is that a compost toilet in the road? Isn't part of the truth is we are all complicit? How do we practice loving kindness? Will this podcast contain more questions than answers?

Some crude conversation, slickly edited- hear it spill out.

What is carbon capture? What does it feel like to stand under a turbine? What is an air source heat pumps? Is it worth changing energy suppliers? What would happen if the power cut out during peak hours?

Are we still allowed to fly on holiday if we promise to cycle to work every day? Is being face to face with someone always worth the carbon? What is the solution for rural living? If your company flies an employee somewhere who's responsible for the carbon footprint? Can we reimagine how we connect with people across the world using technology? Why wont electric cars fix this problem? Have you tried an e-bike? My CliMates have so many questions about travel!

Is it OK to give someone your old T-shirt as a gift? Do we really need to wear deodorant? What do you mean the internet has a carbon cost? I thought it worked by magic! Have you ever seen one of these super-right-on ethical phones? Would a carbon cutting ice-bucket challenge type campaign work?

You're going to enjoy this episode of conversation soup. Lots of voices seasoned with a few jokes and spiced up with some serious chat about agriculture, food waste and 'saving the world one vegan sausage roll at a time.'

This podcast came out of a challenge I set myself to record 100 conversations about Climate Change.

This chat is so good we can reuse it again and again! Just like the jars I'm now getting my oats in. So, everyone is talking about plastic. Can you imagine a world without it? Is any of it actually recycled? What's the deal with the biodegradable stuff? Have you thought of nappies as a single use plastic? I hadn't. Warning: this podcast contains more questions than answers.

It's sometimes an awkward conversation, right? How do we practice being non-judgemental when we feel really passionately about something? Or maybe we should be challenging each other more? Do good intentions matter or just good deeds? What do we do with our rage? How do we avoid despair and turn it into hopeful action?

There's a lovely chat in this one with Meredith from MAD challenges https://madchallenges.org/

I've been having 100 conversations about Climate Change with anyone who will talk to me. These are the voices of my wonderful CliMates. We're talking about the feeling of change in the air, the amazing school strikes and the fluctuating temperature (literal and metaphorical!) We have more questions than we have facts, we're just working how our reactions can lead to actions. Please join us, this is just the beginning of the journey.
