• How to talk climate change without being overwhelming, depressing, or politicized
• Why making environmental issues more accessible/fun will lead to positive change
• The funny side of climate change
• Being a young voice in the climate movement taking a very different approach from other Gen Z-ers
• My experience starting a podcast/newsroom independently during quarantine and how I grew it from a quarantine hobby to a PBS-affiliate
• ANY CLIMATE CHANGE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE!!
• Liberals and conservatives seem to hate each other. How can they find common ground on climate change?
• The last few years have seen record hurricanes, wildfires, heat waves, and other climate disasters. How do you find hope and optimism in all of that?
• How do you make climate change funny? Is it funny on its own in any ways?
• How do you approach conversations with someone you disagree with politically? Why even bother?
• Can individuals do anything to stop climate change themselves?
• You've done lots of podcast episodes on foods and beverages. Does stopping climate change require us to change our diets?
• What episode of The Sweaty Penguin most surprised you? Which one would you recommend to a first time listener?
• Climate change is often framed as "environment versus economy," where helping one hurts the other. You push back on that framing in every episode of The Sweaty Penguin. Why?
• Most people think of figures in the Gen Z climate movement as activists at protests making massive demands of politicians. You've taken a very different route, becoming an "informer" and not demanding anything of anyone. Why did you choose this niche for yourself?
