Communicating Climate Change Call-In Show #2

Dec 2

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 framing, psychological distance, climate deadlines, and some fundamentals of climate communications, across formats ranging from social media posts to speeches, and more.

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!
