Today on Pod, Actually we’re joined by Nina, who brings her curiosity, candor, and climate passion to the table as she tells us why she loves Climate One.

Climate One is a long-running public radio show that tackles the climate crisis from every angle: science, policy, business, activism—and yes, the messy human feelings underneath it all.

Nina explains what keeps her coming back:

the calm, thoughtful tone
the refusal to flatten complex debates
the way the show holds space for nuance without drifting into despair

We also talk about:

how to stay informed without burning out
the emotional toll of following climate news
why conversation still matters
and what it means to engage with big, existential issues in a way that feels grounding rather than overwhelming

This episode is about finding clarity in chaos and about the podcasts that help us make sense of the world.

Nina's top five podcast sources:

1. Climate One

2. Slate

3. Shell Game

4. Tara Brach

5. Washington Post (RIP)
