Bonus episode – Looking to Indigenous leadership with Rachel Heaton, Thimali Kodikara and Mathilda Mallinson
Indigenous peoples who live off the land are often the first affected by climate change, just as they are the last to cause it. But what is often told as a story of injustice should be a story of leadership. Indigenous communities around the world have been protecting Mother Earth for centuries. They may be the most qualified to fight climate change— yet they are systematically excluded from policymaking.In this crossover bonus episode for The Guilty Feminist and Media Storm, Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) explores the importance of Indigenous leadership in climate action. She speaks to Rachel Heaton, founder of Mazaska Talks, an Indigenous-led boycott of fossil fuel financing in the US. Thimali Kodikara, producer of Mothers of Invention podcast, explains how the colonial roots of climate change indicate decolonial solutions.Media Storm is the Guilty Feminist's investigative podcast.

Bonus episode - Storytelling and identity with Mathilda Mallinson
Bonus episode - Storytelling and identity with Mathilda MallinsonWhy do we tell stories?In this mini-investigation, journalist Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) looks at the stories that define us, the importance of challenging mainstream narratives, and whether stories are a right or a privilege. Creators at StoryTerrace share the power of journaling and preserving stories for future generations. Jocelyn Chandler-Hawkins describes her efforts to salvage oral histories from Afro-Caribbean communities in the UK, with audio from the Reading Museum’s Memories of the Reading Windrush Generation and their Descendants. Mathilda then sits down with John Kampfner - author, journalist and Chatham House Executive Director - to discuss the role of history in national identity and compare how different countries choose to remember theirs.Watch Media Storm live at the London Podcast Festival: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm/ Listen to Reading Museum’s oral history collection: readingmuseum.org.uk/explore/online-exhibitions/windrush-day/windrush-day-voices/memories-reading-windrush-generation GuestsRoger Moreau and Rutger Bruining, StoryTerrace @StoryterraceJocelyn Chandler-Hawkins @JocelynChandle3John Kampfner @johnkampfner @ChathamHouseProductionResearch assistants: Mafalda Lorijn, Izzie AddisonAssistant editor: Camilla TianaMusic: Samfire @soundofsamfire Hosted on Acast.
