Coming April 22... the return of Hot Take!

The climate crisis is literally the world’s biggest existential problem. But we can’t even begin to solve it if we don’t know how to talk about it first. That’s why Hot Take is back! Every week, Amy Westervelt and Mary Annaïse Heglar will talk about how climate change touches every aspect of our lives, and how our media is either getting the story right or entirely losing the plot. They’ll also connect you with other storytellers who grapple with how to tell this saga and who can help you understand the world through climate colored glasses - and who and what to be mad about for getting us here. New episodes once a week every Friday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
