Tentang podcast ini
“How We Survive” is an award-winning podcast from Marketplace about the messy business of climate solutions. From the glitz and glam of Miami to the punishing Arizona desert, to a sinking island that our national security depends on, every season, we take listeners on an adventure. We explore the innovative, surprising, and occasionally disturbing ways that people are navigating solutions to a changing climate.
Previous seasons explored the underbelly of the lithium extraction economy with Tech expert Molly Wood; investigated the red-hot Miami real estate market that’s increasingly vulnerable to storms and sea level rise with journalist Amy Scott; and examined the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases — the U..S military — with Marketplace host and former Navy pilot Kai Ryssdal.
In addition to long-form deep dive seasons, “How We Survive” has a spin-off series called “Burning Questions” that empowers listeners with information they can implement in their lives. We answer questions about climate-safe places to live, the best and worst foods to eat for the environment, maintaining hope when all you want to do is doom-scroll, and tips to climate-proof your house.
