  • Summary

  • A podcast for people working to change the world


    More people care about the climate than ever before. But we all know that recycling or reducing our carbon footprint alone won't cut it when it comes to tackling the challenges ahead. That’s why it's no surprise that an increasing number of people are looking to pivot their careers towards climate action.


    But this isn’t easy: navigating this complex and fast-evolving field can be daunting, especially if you don’t have a climate science or engineering background. Many of us simply don’t know where to start or how to use our skills to have an impact.


    So, in this series, host Ben Weaver-Hincks will speak to guests who have made or are making their own climate pivots. From artists and academics, to business owners and legal experts, each episode will uncover inspiring stories of individuals who are transitioning their careers to tackle the climate crisis in their own way.


    Join us as we explore the diverse pathways and possibilities for creating positive change.

    In this episode, I talk with writer, storyteller and professor Lâle Davidson. Her second novel Against The Grain is described as an environmental thriller with a mystical twist, and takes place against the backdrop of the Redwood Summer of 1990, when activists took extraordinary steps to protect California’s old-growth redwoods.
