Communicating Climate Change Call-In Show #1

This time, instead of chatting to a special guest, listeners just like you are joining the conversation. It’s a Call-In Show!

Over the last couple of months, all kinds of voice messages have been submitted by listeners to act as a springboard for brainstorming, problem solving, and broader discussion around a range of climate communication challenges, observations, and questions. 

Through the course of this episode, we’ll dig into a number of them, exploring themes like greenwashing, backfire effects, and some other fundamentals of the craft. 

But we won’t just be pointing out flaws and failures. This is a show about solutions. So, I’ll be looking to a kaleidoscope of disciplines and perspectives, as well as the wisdom of previous Communicating Climate Change podcast guests, to find a path forward in each case.

If you want to leave a voice message of your own, whether to respond to a topic discussed in this episode or to raise a new one for consideration for the next call-in show, just head over to the Call-In Show page. It couldn’t be easier to get involved!

Guidance on submitting to the Call-In Show:

  • Step 1: Go to the Call-In Show page.

  • Step 2: Hit the “Start Recording” button.

  • Step 3: Describe your challenge, example, or observation.

  • Step 4: Hit the “Stop” button when you’re done.

  • Step 5: Enter your name and email if you want (it’s optional) and hit “Send”.

  • Step 6: Tune in to the Call-In Show to see if your message gets featured!

I can’t wait hear from you!
