Today on Louisiana Considered, we bring you the latest episode of our climate change podcast, Sea Change.
Humans have always used stories to make sense of the world…that’s just how our brains work. And, so it makes sense that we need stories to help us understand the enormity of climate change.
Today, we talk with Jeff Goodell, Katharine Wilkinson, and Nathaniel Rich — three authors who write books that people want to read… maybe can’t put down… about the biggest existential threat of our time: climate change.
We cover the importance of storytelling, what they've learned through the work and how the heck they even figure out what stories to write. There's even a cameo appearance by... the sex life of porcupines?
