🎙️Seattleite Andrea Learned’s Podcast on Climate Leadership in Action
Give a listen to Season 1 of Andrea Learned’s podcast, Living Change: A Quest for Climate Leadership. She talks with mayors/local lawmakers, corporate leaders and cultural influencers (film/TV and music) who make a point to be seen *living* the climate-acting values that are also inspiring their policies or new ventures. These are not the usual suspects from global climate stages, but folks intentionally leveraging their niche platforms to scale impact and help shift social norms. As one of the podcast’s 5-star reviews put it: “Such smart leaders as guests, and Andrea makes it so fun and lively.” Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Thanks much for sharing about my Living Change podcast! I loved interviewing city leaders and mayors from across the country for my #cities focused episodes. I talked with super interesting people like Alex Fisch (former mayor and city council person of Culver City/now Special AG in CA for housing), John Bauters (social justice focused mayor of Emeryville), Barbara Buffaloe, mayor of Columbia, MO, and the super interesting Nat Geo photographer / always bike riding background of Oregon State Rep/former Milwaukie mayor, Mark Gamba. The cities-focused stories and opportunities are real! Excited to see more focus on their importance as we head into Climate Week NYC and COP28.
