After lockdown Judith is still asking the big questions. Between baking and wondering if she had a drinking problem, Judith wondered how happy we'd been in our old lives and why 'back to normal' is not a good idea for us or the planet. She's out to change her life and yours for the better in six episodes.

  1. Episode 1

    S2 01 | A life that doesn't suck

    Did you make a promise to change things during lockdown?  COVID made Judith take a look at how she was living and didn't like what she saw. Is she capable of change and can that change help not just her, but the planet? Find out over the next six episodes. Written and performed by Judith Lucy Producer Beth Atkinson-Quinton Sound engineer David Le May Executive Producer Tom Wright

  2. Episode 2

    S2 02 | Absolutely everything is my fault!

    If we want to change, start small. So Judith gets tips on how to grow a garden, make her place more eco-friendly and even has a Masterchef finalist cook her (a vegan lunch). Despite all this she still feels guilty about the planet. People are to blame and we can't do anything, right?! Wrong!

  3. Episode 3

    S2 03 | Maybe I don't hate everyone?

    Doing stuff alone can only get you so far and Judith, for once, enjoys being part of a team. Judith helps out her in local area. She writes letters to her MP, plants trees at her local beach and learns about her area's indigenous history.

  4. Episode 4

    S2 04 | People have the power

    Time to get ourselves glued to something, people! Despite sorting out her own place and helping out locally, Judith wants to do more. She talks to a teen who sued the Environment Minister and is inspired to go on an Extinction Rebellion protest. Who knows, the next episode might be coming from jail cell?

  5. Episode 5

    S2 05 | What if we changed everything

    Time to go tiny!   Judith moves into a tiny house, with, er, mixed results. And she learns more about how food is produced and how to practise active hope in a time of existential dread. Written and performed by Judith Lucy Producer Beth Atkinson-Quinton Sound engineer David Le May Executive Producer Tom Wright

  6. Episode 6

    S2 06 | Are we just completely screwed

    Is the future quite so bleak? Maybe we won't all be living in bunkers and doing chin-ups. You can hear more from Jenny Odell, the writer of How to do Nothing, Chris Johnstone, doctor and the co-founder of Active Hope & Jeff Sparrow, who talks about who's really to blame for the climate emergency.
