Hey there, podcast fam! I am beyond thrilled to share with you all the magic and wonder that unfolded in our latest episode. In this heartfelt conversation, my dear friend Esteban and I delved deep into our transformative experiences on the Camino de Santiago, a world-renowned pilgrimage in Spain. I love the energy that Esteban brings as we dove into the profound impact the Camino had on our lives. From the spiritual connections to the physical challenges, we shared our insights on the diverse motivations that led us to embark on this journey. As we reminisced about the moments of generosity and community on the Camino, his incredible intentional time spent with his family and his fiance on the trail. We highlighted the beauty of human connection and the power of shared experiences. The episode unfolded like a tapestry of reflections, with each thread weaving a narrative of growth, introspection, and connection. Throughout our conversation, we explored the significance of intentional reflection and the value of being present in the moment. From the small acts of kindness to the profound moments of self-discovery, we uncovered the layers of meaning that the Camino had gifted us. Follow Esteban: He is HILARIOUS and a great comedian!

A Week Of Climate Protests, Meetings, Pledges, And ActionClimate Week NYC is wrapping up, where hundreds of events took place across the city (including one from Science Friday), all with the goal of encouraging conversation and action around our climate crisis.The weeklong event takes place alongside the UN General Assembly meeting, where world leaders discussed climate change, alongside other topics, including the war in Ukraine and universal health coverage.While President Biden emphasized the importance of reducing the use of fossil fuels to combat climate change, there was a notable absence of leaders from the world's biggest polluters, including Biden and president Xi Jinping of China, from the meeting's Climate Ambition Summit. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that in order to participate, governments need to come with “credible, serious and new climate action.”Large demonstrations also took place across the city, pressuring leaders and companies to take bigger action to end gas, oil, and coal use.Swapna Krishna, a journalist based in Philadelphia, talks with Ira about these stories and more, including a new climate jobs program from the White House, a lawsuit from California against the five big oil companies, new battery recycling rules from the EU, and data from the Parker Solar Probe's recent flight through a sun explosion. Can Earth's Past Climate Help Us Understand Today's Crisis?A combination of factors led to Earth's climate being able to support life. And changes in the climate some 6,000 years ago created the conditions for human civilization to flourish. It's a delicate balance on the verge of collapse, due to our reliance on burning fossil fuels.Ira talks with paleoclimatologist Dr. Michael Mann about his forthcoming book Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis, about the importance of understanding our planet's climate history, and strategies to get policymakers to take action before it's too late to reverse some of the worst consequences of climate change.Mann is a professor of earth and environmental science and director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Read an excerpt of the book on sciencefriday.com The Climate Movement Should Be FunnierHow do you know that climate change is funny? Even the Antarctic ice sheets are cracking up.The climate crisis is no joke, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh about it. Research suggests that comedy is a powerful way to connect people and get them to empathize with a cause—and the climate crisis is a pretty big one.So what does science say about the power of a good laugh? And how does that fit into the climate movement?Ira talks with Esteban Gast, comedian in residence at the clean energy non-profit Generation 180, and Dr. Caty Borum, executive director of the Center for Media & Social Impact at American University. To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

If you're enjoying all of the stories we shared so far, we want to reintroduce you to another podcast: Travel Tales by AFAR. Hosted by AFAR Deputy Editor Aislyn Greene, Travel Tales explores the way that travel shapes us. Each episode follows a storyteller who took a trip—and came home transformed. In their new season, they're getting back on the road to share the real stories and sounds from recent trips.  We're sharing one episode with you today. Hear comedian Esteban Gast reflect upon a recent trip to Cartagena as he travels through Colombia without his parents  for the first time ever. Along the way, he unpacks his own relationship with his Colombian heritage and define what it means to be Colombian for himself. Subscribe to Travel Tales by AFAR wherever you get your podcasts.

As a kid, comedian Esteban Gast tagged along when his parents visited family in Colombia. But he'd never established his own relationship with the culture—until now. Join Esteban as he confesses his deepest darkest family secrets (well, kinda), has his first-ever "real" talk with his cousin Camilo, explores Cartagena's ubiquitous plaques, and yes, parties without his parents!

And how can we help people see what is invisible? His math might be a little off, but when it comes to putting a price on carbon, Peterson makes total sense!   You can hear standalone versions of The Art House at Artists and Climate Change.    Good News Report   Lori Byron a co-chair of the Citizens Climate Health Team,The team has hundreds of CCL health care professionals, along with Robert Byron and Lisa Delbuono.
