Introducing A People’s Climate
Introducing “A People’s Climate”
A new podcast from The Nation and Counterstream Media explores climate justice from the ground up—through the voices of those fighting on the frontlines.

Here's where to find podcasts from The Nation. Political talk without the boring parts, featuring the writers, activists and artists who shape the news, from a progressive perspective.
“A People’s Climate” is a new climate podcast by Counterstream Media and The Nation. Hosted by Shilpi Chhotray.
This isn’t climate talk as usual. This is environmental justice.
Over nine powerful episodes, we bring together activists, organizers, and movement leaders who are fighting on the frontlines. Every conversation reveals not only why the fight matters, but how communities are already putting solutions into practice and power back in the hands of the people.
The future we need is being built from the ground up. Not by corporations. Not by billionaires. By us. The people demanding justice, reclaiming power, and rebuilding what’s been broken.
New episodes every Saturday starting Sept 27, 2025.

We’re thrilled to announce A People’s Climate—a new podcast from Counterstream Media and The Nation, hosted by Shilpi Chhotray.
This isn’t climate talk as usual. This is environmental justice.
Across nine powerful episodes, A People’s Climate brings together activists, organizers, and movement leaders who are fighting on the front lines. Each conversation highlights not just why the fight matters but also how working-class communities are already putting climate solutions into practice and putting power back in the hands of ordinary people.
The future we need is being built from the ground up—not by corporations or billionaires but by people demanding justice, reclaiming power, and working to repair what has been broken.

Here's where to find podcasts from The Nation. Political talk without the boring parts, featuring the writers, activists and artists who shape the news, from a progressive perspective.
In a scandalous rejection of holiday spirit, Jo and Charlotte reflect on the dark, elegant pleasures of Gabrielle Wittkopf’s The Necrophiliac alongside contemporary novel conventions as deployed in Rebecca Novack’s Murder Bimbo. The hosts are then joined by dear friend Clio Chang, who outlines the timeless, charming, annoying allure of Cheryl Strayed’s hit memoir Wild (2012).
Also discussed in this episode: Charlotte Roche’s Wetlands, Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, and Lillian Fishman’s Acts of Service.
Clio Chang is a staff writer at Curbed who can do three pullups.
