The Change brings together words and women, who in the permutation of 26 letters, over the course of 10 episodes, bridge some of the boundaries that exist and persist between women & technology in the Anthropocene. This podcast is an attempt to fill knowledge gaps. Knowledge gaps that we will bridge through the lens and expertise of the women contributing to this podcast. We aspire to bring balance, transparency, and purpose to the climate tech narrative by interviewing women operating at a unique level in their respective climate-focused careers.
