Hi everyone it's Tom here I just wanted to take a moment at the top end of this week's

episode to say a really big thank you to everybody we launched our first episode

last week and we've been blown away by the number of listens, the amount of support, the number of you that have posted,

sent us messages both public and private, it makes a huge difference at this early stage of a project

to have that level of feedback and engagement.

So we really, really appreciate it.

You're brilliant.

We love you all.

If you haven't heard last week's conversation with David Attenborough, we do suggest that you go back and listen at some point, but you don't need to pause today's podcast to do that.

The conversation that we have with the wonderful Ellie Golding will more than make sense.

So thanks for being here.

Enjoy the episode. Hello and welcome to outrage and optimism a new podcast about dealing with the climate

crisis and reshaping the world. My name's

Tom Rivik Karnak. I'm Christina Figuero and I'm Paul Dickinson and today we sit down

with Ellie Golden and talk about climate activism, her new release in this together,

and how she's worked to address her own anxieties about climate change

that kept her awake at night as a child.

This is a great conversation with a remarkable leader and musician. We're glad

you're here. Thanks for joining us.

So I'm guessing that everyone listening to this has heard of Ellie Golding, but if you have not,

she is an internationally known singer-songwriter, active as a musician since 2009 with four studio albums, millions of sales and many awards.

Ellie is one of the best known and most successful musicians alive today.
