TRAILER: A People’s Climate Podcast—Coming Soon!
byThe Nation Magazine

“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.

Dispatch from the Frontlines of the Data Center Wars w/ Ben Inskeep & Bryce Gustafson / Fighting Fascism
byThe Nation Magazine

Data centers and AI, AI and data centers. We all know how pivotal these issues have become. But lots of the analysis on these topics has been coming from pundits who are the farthest removed from them.

That’s why we wanted to speak with Ben Inskeep and Bryce Gustafson from Citizen Action Coalition. Bryce and Ben have been helping communities on the frontlines of data center fights in Indiana organize and stand up against Big Tech, and their on-the-ground insights—about what’s motivating the backlash, the potential for a broader political realignment, and more—are critical to understanding what’s actually going on right now.
