John Kasper: A Guy Who Sucked

Over the years we've talked a lot about the intersection between civil rights and climate change. Now Mary Annaïse Heglar has a novel out (her first!) that lives in that intersection and it's fascinating. On this episode she brings us the story of a guy who fought the desegregation of schools, and why it's important to remember the many ways in which the fight for climate action and the fight for racial justice overlap.

Coming April 22... the return of Hot Take!

The climate crisis is literally the world’s biggest existential problem. But we can’t even begin to solve it if we don’t know how to talk about it first. That’s why Hot Take is back! Every week, Amy Westervelt and Mary Annaïse Heglar will talk about how climate change touches every aspect of our lives, and how our media is either getting the story right or entirely losing the plot. They’ll also connect you with other storytellers who grapple with how to tell this saga and who can help you understand the world through climate colored glasses - and who and what to be mad about for getting us here. New episodes once a week every Friday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I only discovered Hot Take shortly before it ended, so I’m thrilled to have a similar podcast back in this feed. Amy’s reporting and her analysis and presentation of other people’s work is excellent and makes me feel less insane. Thanks for everything you do, guys!

Each a powerhouse of intelligence and wit in their own right, together Amy and Mary make a stellar duo. Hot Take is the best way to keep up to date on climate without feeling paralyzed by the problem. Thank you for everything the past few years, and I hope you work together again soon!

The only energy/climate podcast that speaks truth to power. These women deserve support and a voice. Their message exposes truth no one will talk about. To crooked media, cancelling the show is easy; keeping it going may be challenging. Rise to the challenge.
