The Corporate Push to Criminalize Speech
There's a lot of discourse happening about free speech in the context of "cancel culture" these days, but precious little coverage of the push all over the world to criminalize protest...particularly environmental and climate protest. We'll be digging into this trend in detail over the next several months, but first a look at what prompted extractive industries to start agitating for governments to crack down on protest, what tactics they use, and why they've been so effective.

Disha Ravi on Becoming the Face of "Radical" Protest in India
When she was just 22, Disha Ravi, co-founder of Fridays for Future in India, had police show up at her home, borrow a pen and paper to write an arrest warrant on the spot, and bundle her onto a plane to fly across the country to a city she'd never been to. Here she explains what happened, how it's still impacting her two years later, and why she'll never let it stop her activism or force her out of India.
An extended version of this interview will run in partnership with the Heated newsletter next week, as the G20 Summit gets underway in Delhi.

Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast
Interesting, informative, forward-thinking. Sound quality of interviews could certainly be improved though.
I don’t know if I love it or hate it
I definitely learned a lot - but do I sometimes wish I’d never known? Yes! Amy has a way of describing the carefully planned climate disaster in a very engaging way.
Well-researched, revelatory and (naturally) shocking
This simply done but well-researched podcast has already taught me a lot about the beginnings of climate change science and the reasons for why we have less of a societal consensus now than we did in the 80s. It explains (although it in no way justifies) why we are in the mess we're in. I fact-checked a few things I heard on the podcast just to make sure and haven't found any false information. I fully recommend it!
