Hopeful Stories for Climate Action
Hosted by Grace Nosek, Planet Potluck combines personal storytelling and interview to explore stories of hope, joy, and community in the climate movement. After telling her own story of finding joy and fulfillment in climate work after personal tragedy, Grace interviews the friends she’s made through her years as a climate activist—students, professors, organizers, lawyers, activists on the front lines, engineers, and more.
What emerges is an intimate look at the grief and joy of leaning into the climate fight and the beauty of standing shoulder to shoulder with friends to face an existential threat.
