Insightful, informative, and intriguing!

A podcast by two powerful Irish women about feminist solutions to climate change. If ever a podcast were made for me, this is it! I’m listening to it a second time through now because there’s so much rich information and so many compelling and inspiring stories. Mary and Maeve are a fantastic duo who complement each other very well and have excellent rapport. I’m early in my legal education but hearing them inspires me to continue in my direction of fighting for climate justice, which means fighting for human justice everywhere! I can’t wait for more episodes and interviews with innovative Mothers.
