Hello and

I'm Christina Pietes and I'm Paul Dickinson.

Today we explore some of the recent issues that we are most outraged by or most

optimistic about and we speak with Jonathan Safran Fuhr, author of the remarkable new

book We Are the Weather. Thanks for being.

Cool, so this week we're going to mix. So this week we're going to mix things up a little bit. We have been loving doing

this podcast, it's been great, but we've had a problem. And that that problem, I suppose,

has not really been a problem in the wider world, and that that problem I suppose has not really been a problem in the wider world and that has been that there's been so much going on on climate change in an accelerated way that we are really struggling to fit it all in on a weekly basis.

So we're going to do something a little bit different this week.

Each of us, your three co-host, myself, Chrisjana and Paul,

are all going to bring one thing that we are feeling either outraged by

or we're feeling optimistic about from the last week or the coming week.

And we're going to bring that and we're just going to discuss it for a few minutes and

kind of dig into it. Is it really make us

optimistic? Does it really make us outraged? So we can understand from a

deeper perspective some of the many things that are coming at us. So that's the

plan. What do you think guys?

Well let's try it because we're actually optimistic and outrage not just every day but

almost like every minute of the day so let's do it.

I think it's going to be

tremendous well that's a blast from the past right okay well Christina why don't we

start with you how are you feeling this week? Well, right now, because this week is actually too many things to share.
