Climate Storyteller barely touches on the work that Maya Lilly has been a part of in the climate change world; she's part of the Emmy Award Winning The Years Project. She's been an activist since she was 15. She's a Producer, Speaker, and Climate Storyteller. She was named to the Grist 50 for revolutionizing Hollywood's approach to Climate Storytelling. She uses storytelling as a force for justice, empathy and real climate action. "Maya's voice remains unmistakable, credible, courageous and profoundly human." - this was taken from the Grist 50 write up of her - my eyes couldn't let go of profoundly human...I saw Maya's profile on the Podmatch site, and was so curious, but also felt intimidated by the breadth of her work. Thankfully, I was approached by her PR Rep. Maya's life is fascinating, and she has so much to share! We'd love for you to share The Years Project documentary Years of Living Dangerously with your people. This project is partnered with Hollywood actors who also want to make a difference, so they're using their celebrity to help bring these climate topics to light. I've linked a bonus segment below - there's an entire season available for free on YouTube!We also talked about things we can do to help - Maya gave a list of things, like 1) VOTING - voting in climate politicians, 2) divesting from fossil fuels and electrifying everything, 3) boycotting companies slowing or reversing progress, 4) eating more plant based, and 5) finding out if our banks are supporting causes we care aboutFollow Maya Lilly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gunghoeco/Here's an extensive list of Maya's workHere's a clip of The Years of Living Dangerously, with my celebrity crush, Harrison Ford: https://youtu.be/wzD4Xx3drAI?si=kyRiBA1j9-rWO-zEhttps://bankforgood.org/ so we know who and what our money supports Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcomed Adam Bachman, the head production distiller and manager at The Chemist. We dove deep into the craft of distilling, from Adam's 11+ years of commercial experience in the industry to the evolution of American single malt whiskey. Adam shared stories from his early days building stills (legally for essential oils!), his academic path through biochemistry at Clemson, and how he transitioned through South Carolina's changing landscape of craft distilleries. We tasted some truly unique spirits and beers, including a locally smoked single malt and an oat whiskey, while discussing the challenges and creative opportunities in the world of craft distillation. Adam Bachman is recognized for his hands-on expertise in distilling whiskey, gin, and liqueurs, with a strong background in biochemistry and a minor in chemistry. He spent six years at 6 and 20 Distillery before moving to Asheville to join The Chemist, where he's helped ramp up whiskey programs, develop new recipes like the limited-edition rye, and recently barrel a small batch peated whiskey. Adam approaches distilling as both art and science, with a passion for experimenting with malts, grains, and local ingredients, and a deep appreciation for how changing techniques shape the identity of each spirit. "Getting second opinions is huge. I always try to get second opinions from the other guys working with us." ~Adam Bachman Today on Consuming the Craft:· Adam has over a decade of legal, commercial distilling experience and is responsible for spirit production at The Chemist. · His background in biochemistry directly informs his craft, providing unique perspectives and technical skills in distilling. · The Chemist uses traditional copper pot stills with direct flame; the techniques and nuances are vastly different from hybrid steam systems. · Chemist has evolved from a primarily gin-focused operation to a distillery with robust whiskey and rye programs, with Adam leading recipe development. · Adam's approach to whiskey includes blending different grains and experimenting with malts to create spirits with depth and complexity, notably in their limited rye and upcoming peated whiskey. · Tasting and understanding barrel-aging is a skill built over years, requiring constant monitoring, collaboration, and experience. · The growth of American single malt whiskey is opening up new creative possibilities; it's a rapidly growing category with endless flavor options. · Adam is also exploring non-alcoholic spirit development, navigating the unique sensory and shelf-life challenges in that emerging market.

The Justice Department pushed federal prosecutors in Minnesota to investigate the widow of Renee Macklin Good rather than the immigration agent who killed her. Georgetown Law professor Mary McCord explains the pressure campaign and the subsequent resignation of six prosecutors.And, historian Julian Zelizer said videos “once provided a powerful counterweight to official narratives.” But in the age of misinformation, the role of video has been eroded. He unpacks the role of video footage in Macklin Good's killing in Minneapolis and the aftermath.Then, President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Grist's Jake Bittle details this dramatic move against global climate action.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

La suite numérique souveraine, la France et l’Europe veulent se libérer des suites Microsoft et Google. La suite numérique souveraine Dans notre quotidien professionnel, les suites bureautiques américaines comme celles de Google ou Microsoft sont devenues omniprésentes, presque une évidence. C’est dans ce contexte que le projet du gouvernement français, la “Suite Numérique”, apparaît comme une initiative particulièrement importante pour affirmer la souveraineté de nos informations. Il faut bien avoir à l’esprit que ces éditeurs utilisent leurs solutions pour commercialiser des informations sur les usages, habitudes, utilisations et ont accès aux données directement depuis leurs cloud propriétaires. Il ne s’agit pas de créer quelques outils isolés, mais bien de bâtir une alternative complète, cohérente et souveraine pour les agents du service public. Lancée en mai 2024, cette suite se veut une réponse souveraine et open source aux géants du marché. Lors d’un premier bilan présenté le 27 novembre 2025, la Direction interministérielle du numérique (Dinum) a dévoilé des chiffres qui dessinent les contours d’un projet stratégique aux premiers résultats surprenants. La suite regroupe déjà six outils phares : Visio (visioconférence), Doc (édition collaborative), Fichiers (stockage), Tchap (messagerie), Grist (gestion de données) et l’Assistant (IA générative). la souveraineté avant tout Le projet de suite numérique n’est pas qu’une simple mise à jour technologique. Sa mission, est d’assurer la souveraineté numérique de l’État. L’objectif est de fournir aux millions d’agents publics un environnement de travail dont les données sont hébergées en France et dont le développement, souvent basé sur des fondations open source, est entièrement maîtrisé. Cette approche garantit la transparence, la sécurité et l’indépendance face aux fournisseurs étrangers. Cette vision stratégique est le véritable moteur du projet. L'ambition est grande : redonner aux agents publics des outils sur lesquels l'Etat a réellement la main, sans dépendance à des services étrangers et sans compromis sur les fonctionnalités. Au passage aussi assurer un cout de fonctionnement réaliste face à des hausse d prix annoncées de 30% sur 4 ans pour office 365. La messagerie Tchap devient obligatoire Pour s’assurer que sa suite ne reste pas une option parmi d’autres, l’État a pris une décision radicale. Depuis le 1er septembre 2025, l’utilisation de Tchap, la messagerie instantanée sécurisée, est devenue obligatoire pour les ministères. Cette adoption forcée est une décision stratégique pour surmonter l’inertie administrative et atteindre rapidement une masse critique d’utilisateurs, créant ainsi un effet de réseau indispensable à son succès. Tchap Basée sur le protocole open source Matrix, développée et hébergée en France, Tchap compte déjà plus de 375 000 utilisateurs actifs mensuels bien au-delà des seuls ministères, touchant les collectivités territoriales, les établissements scolaires ou les hôpitaux. Avec des appels de groupe désormais disponibles et une nouvelle version mobile en préparation, cette décision montre que le gouvernement est prêt à imposer ses outils pour garantir la cohérence et la sécurité de ses communications. Grist connaît une croissance spectaculaire Parmi les différents outils, l’un d’eux connaît un succès inattendu : Grist. Cet outil de gestion de données “no-code” permet aux agents, même sans compétences techniques, de créer des tableaux collaboratifs, de visualiser des données et de bâtir de petites applications internes pour suivre des projets ou centraliser des informations. Grist Sa croissance est qualifiée de “spectaculaire” : en seulement un an, Grist est passé de 1 000 à 15 000 utilisateurs actifs mensuels. Ce succès n’est pas anodin ; il s’inscrit dans la tendance de fond du “no-code” qui démocratise la création d’outils métier, un besoin actuel des utilisateurs qui veulent apporter de la valeur sans passer par du code. Il révèle un besoin profond d’agilité pour manipuler et structurer des données sans devoir passer par des développements informatiques complexes. Un partenariat stratégique avec Mistral AI Loin d’être en retard, la Suite Numérique intègre l’une des technologies les plus avancées du moment grâce à l’Assistant. Ce chatbot d’intelligence artificielle générative est le fruit d’un partenariat stratégique avec Mistral AI. Sujet dejà évoqué dans cet article. Mistral ai Actuellement en test auprès de 10 000 agents avant un déploiement général début 2026, l’Assistant est déjà capable de reformuler du texte dans l’outil Doc, la solution de prise de notes collaboratives de la suite, ou de générer les transcriptions des réunions dans Visio. Plus qu’un simple outil, l’IA est pensée comme la future colonne vertébrale de la suite. L'ambition est “d'en faire le fil invisible entre toutes les briques, sans ajouter de complexité”. Cette vision est la réponse stratégique au plus grand défi de la Suite Numérique : l’interopérabilité. Tel que les éditeurs américains le proposent avec leurs suites. L’Assistant n’est pas une fonctionnalité de plus, mais le liant destiné à rendre l’expérience utilisateur aussi fluide que celle des géants du secteur. Visio et ses comptes rendus automatiques La meilleure façon de convaincre est de résoudre des problèmes concrets. C’est exactement ce que fait Visio, l’outil de visioconférence de la suite, qui compte plus de 60 000 utilisateurs mensuels. Sa fonctionnalité la plus marquante est la transcription asynchrone. Concrètement, à la fin de chaque réunion, l’outil génère automatiquement un compte rendu écrit de tous les échanges et l’envoie aux participants. Cette innovation, qui a déjà permis de produire plus de 1 000 comptes rendus pour le seul mois de septembre 2025, n’est pas un simple gain de productivité. Elle transforme la réunion en un document archivable et interrogeable, créant une mémoire institutionnelle automatique, un atout majeur pour la continuité de l’action publique. Des évolutions sont prévues, avec le sous-titrage en temps réel et la synthèse automatique. Visio prouve que la suite cherche à apporter une réelle valeur ajoutée au quotidien des agents et se mets au niveau d’un outil comme Teams. Pro connect pour unifier les identités Pro connect ProConnect est le service d'authentification unifiée développé par la France pour identifier de manière simple et sécurisée les agents de la fonction publique qui accèdent aux services numériques de l'administration. Plutôt que de multiplier les identifiants spécifiques à chaque portail, ProConnect permet à un professionnel d'utiliser une seule identité numérique liée à son adresse e-mail professionnelle et au numéro SIRET de son organisation pour se connecter à de nombreux services publics en ligne, tout en bénéficiant d'une session unique (authentification unique) sur l'ensemble des plateformes « ProConnectées ». Lancé en continuité avec des initiatives comme FranceConnect mais dédié aux usages professionnels, ProConnect remplace et unifie plusieurs anciens services d'authentification (MonComptePro, InclusionConnect, AgentConnect) pour simplifier l'accès des agents publics à leurs outils de travail et celui des entreprises à leurs démarches administratives. Dans une logique de souveraineté numérique, ce service renforce la maîtrise de l'identité et de l'accès aux données par l'État, diminue la dépendance à des solutions commerciales étrangères et facilite l'interopérabilité entre applications publiques, tout en s'appuyant sur des standards ouverts et des infrastructures sécurisées. La Suite Numérique de l’État est bien plus qu’une collection d’outils cotes à cotes. C’est un projet politique et stratégique cohérent, qui affiche des premiers résultats. La volonté politique est forte et déterminée à sortir les éditeurs qui ne sont pas compatibles avec nos objectifs de souveraineté. En s’appuyant sur l’open source, en rendant Tchap obligatoire, en répondant à un besoin métier avec Grist et en intégrant l’IA de pointe de Mistral AI comme futur liant de l’écosystème, la France prouve que son ambition de souveraineté numérique n’est pas un vœu pieux. Le principal défi, reconnu par la Dinum elle-même, sera de concrétiser cette vision d’une interopérabilité parfaite pour offrir une expérience utilisateur aussi fluide que celle des géants du marché. Sur la marché des alternatives crédibles existent comme NEXTCLOUD qui est orienté entreprises. Le plus difficile est de sortir de ses habitudes Microsoft ou Google pour éprouver d’autres solutions tout aussi efficaces par rapport à nos usages et surtout moins couteuses.

Story Radio interviews Mathew Gostelow, the editor of Silent Screams: An Anthology of Quiet Horror, about trends in the horror genre, the meaning of 'quiet horror', the child's perspective in horror writing, contemporary vs historical fiction and many other topics such as Twin Peaks and Frankenstein. We listen to a reading of 'Barnabas Calstock's Last Wish' by the author Terry Holland (Trigger warning: this story contains references to war and violence that some listeners may find disturbing). About Mathew GostelowMathew Gostelow haunts a leafy suburb of Birmingham, UK. His CV is a chaotic patchwork quilt, including journalism, pheasant farming, catering, and marketing. Mat's taste in art, music, film, and literature is equally eclectic, although he tends to gravitate towards anything with a creepy, dreamy aesthetic. If you catch him staring intently into the middle distance, Mat is either thinking about Twin Peaks or cooked breakfasts. Some days he wakes early and scribbles strange tales. Mat has written several books, including two speculative short story collections entitled An Ill-Stitched Menagerie and See My Breath Dance Ghostly, and a novella-in-flash; Dantalion is a Quiet Place. Mat has also co-written a horror-thriller novella called Watcher with his friend JP Relph, and edited an anthology of quiet horror short stories, titled Silent Screams.He has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net, and Best Microfiction.

Become a paid subscriber to our newsletter/podcast, The Climate Weekly, to help support this show! It's fun. All the cool kids are doing it! ------------- Another annual UN climate change conference is in the books. So, what did it accomplish? This week, The Guardian's Oliver Milman joins the show to breakdown the results of COP30. We discuss why many thought the conference was underwhelming, the final decisions on a fossil fuel phaseout, finance for adaptation, and improving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). We also talk about the lack of agreement on combating deforestation, the United States failing to show up to COP30, and what's still being said about the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Finally, we discuss the crazy fire that broke out during the conference and Oliver's experience covering more optimistic conversations on Artificial Intelligence. Next, Joseph Winters, who wrote the piece "UN climate talks are built on consensus. That's part of the problem." for Grist joins the show to discuss why so many think the COP process is broken and why it's still super complicated to try to fix it. We look at potential solutions like a majority vote on big decisions as well as more creative ideas to reform consensus. We also examine how these solutions compare to other UN agreements.

Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcome back Charlie Stanley from Oak and Grist Distilling Company in Black Mountain, North Carolina. We dive deep into the journey of a small craft distillery navigating the challenges of being in a control state, the growth of Oak and Grist's product line, and the evolution of their spirits since Charlie's last visit. We geek out on the technical and creative aspects of distillation, address the headaches of marketing and distribution in North Carolina's ABC system, and celebrate unique spirits — like their incredible Genever and the Peachwood-Smoked Single Malt. Along the way, we share a sensory deep-dive with a glass of Armagnac and touch on the resilience it takes to keep a craft beverage business alive, especially in the wake of devastating storms. Charlie Stanley is an alum of AB Tech's Craft Beverage Institute and serves as lead distiller at Oak and Grist. With almost six years under his belt at the distillery, Charlie brings a wealth of knowledge in production, blending, and creative problem solving. Whether it's crafting rare spirits like American Genever from scratch or adapting to unpredictable market forces, his experience and dedication are evident in every bottle. Beyond the production floor, Charlie has been an invaluable educator for both staff and the broader beverage community, returning often to AB Tech to share his expertise. "Genever is the whiskey drinker's gin... there's so much more grain flavor, a balance of malt sweetness and botanicals." ~Charlie Stanley Today on Consuming the Craft:· Oak and Grist has expanded their offerings and matured their products significantly in the past six years, focusing on quality and evolution.· The ABC system in North Carolina requires distilleries to adapt to a unique, fragmented, and sometimes frustrating structure for spirits sales and distribution.· Education is essential—both for distillers and retail staff—to help consumers understand and appreciate local spirits.· Oak and Grist produces a rare, authentic American Genever that's 100% single malt and distilled entirely in-house without sourcing.· The distillery uses only full-size 53-gallon barrels for aging, favoring balance and complexity over rapid wood extraction from small barrels.· Their Smoke Series features whiskeys made from North Carolina craft malt smoked with fruit woods like peach, resulting in nuanced and balanced spirits.· Surviving Hurricane Helene was a challenge, but it ultimately broadened Oak and Grist's statewide presence and reaffirmed their resilience.· Continuing education, community connections, and creative blending are all core to Oak and Grist's ongoing success.

In October, stakeholders representing an unusual combination of sectors — public, private, academic, non-profit and journalism — gathered with insurance industry experts at the 10X Convergence in Jacksonville, Florida, to explore solutions to unsustainable insurance and disaster recovery costs throughout the Interstate 10 region.Insurers continue to cancel homeowners policies across California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida as exposure to accelerating billion-dollar disasters undermines carriers' ability to pay out claims while remaining solvent. The industry crisis has begun to spread northward, where a widening Tornado Alley sees growing impacts from property-damaging storms. This is a complex, all-hands-on-deck issue. Insurance practices and building standards have not adapted to the realities of climate change, and have neglected potential to be of powerful mutual support to one another. On the whole, 10X Convergence participants were clear that viable solutions will require a combination of applied climate and economic research with proactive governance and communications strategies, and that this must be matched by industry willingness to innovate its systems of underwriting and community development. In this podcast, Ten Across journalists Maya Chari and Taylor Griffith take you through the problems and potential solutions discussed by the diverse group of experts at the 10X Convergence.

Nehemiah 4:1-23 - The Work and the Resistance - Matt Grist
Decades ago, non-native carp were brought onto fish farms on the Mississippi River to control algae and parasites. They escaped, thrived, and eventually flooded the Illinois River, outcompeting native species and wreaking havoc. If the carp find their way into the Great Lakes, they could do major damage to those vital ecosystems.There's a proposed project to stop the fish—but it's expensive, and not everyone agrees it's the best solution. Host Flora Lichtman speaks with WBEZ and Grist reporter Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco and carp expert Cory Suski.Guests: Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco is an environmental reporter at WBEZ and Grist. Dr. Cory Suski is a professor of aquatic resources at the University of Illinois.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.

Today on Consuming the Craft, I sat down with Brian Simpson, CEO of Riverbend Malt House, to explore the fascinating evolution of craft malt in the southeast. We covered Riverbend's journey from a modest basement setup in 2010 to a dynamic operation producing unique and locally sourced malts for breweries and distilleries across the country. I poured Brian a special whiskey from Oak and Grist, made with peach wood smoked pilsner malt from Riverbend, sparking a deep dive into the nuances of smoked malts, wood selection, collaboration with local farmers, and the influence of southern terroir on flavor. We discussed industry trends, new grain varieties, regulatory changes, and the powerful role of innovation in the craft beverage scene. Brian Simpson is at the helm of Riverbend Malt House, the pioneering Asheville-based craft maltster dedicated to bringing local grains into the hands of southern brewers and distillers. Since 2010, Brian has led Riverbend's transformation, supporting research efforts, working with breeders and farmers, and experimenting with new malting techniques and materials. Riverbend's malts have contributed to award-winning beers and spirits, and Brian's passion for innovation continues to drive the industry forward—whether it's through peach wood smoked whiskey, custom malt batches, or supporting the next wave of craft beverages. “We really only had six row barleys... mostly for animal feed. Our whole ‘malt with a mission' was to bring agriculture back into craft beer.” ~Brian Simpson This Week on Consuming the Craft: · Riverbend Malt House started in 2010, initially focusing on proving craft malt could be made from southern-grown grains.· The region's transition from only animal-feed barley to diverse, high-quality brewing and distilling varieties involved close partnerships with breeders and farmers.· Smoking malt with different woods, such as peach wood, creates uniquely Southern flavor profiles, especially in spirits and specialty beers.· Collaborations, like Oak and Grist's peach wood-smoked whiskey, showcase the power of local malt and creative partnerships.· The craft malt industry is watching for regulatory trends, including the potential U.S. adoption of glycosidic nitrile limits and concerns about ethyl carbomate.· There's growing demand in the south for distillers' malt, high-enzyme, fast-fermentation varieties suitable for whiskey production.· New and alternative grains like Kernza, millet, and buckwheat present technical challenges but offer gluten-free options and environmental benefits.· The craft beverage industry's best chance for survival lies in providing experiences, agility, and inventive offerings rather than just chasing trends.

Become a paid subscriber to our newsletter/podcast, The Climate Weekly, to help support this show! It's fun. All the cool kids are doing it! This week, we dive into the transformative potential of a world less reliant on automobiles and ask the question: "why aren't we more honest about the harms caused by our car dependency?" We're joined by the amazing Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon, co-hosts of "The War on Cars" podcast and co-authors of the new book, "Life After Cars," to explores the deep-seated cultural and economic ties to car dependency and the urgent need to change it. We look at how car culture became intertwined with the American dream and the historical and societal factors that have perpetuated this problem. Sarah and Doug discuss the environmental and social costs of our car-centric infrastructure, including pollution, social disconnection, and the harms on children's development. We delve into the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to electric vehicles, acknowledging their benefits while cautioning against simply replacing one form of car dependency with another. Finally, we look at very real examples of change like the bike bus movement in the United States and the transformative policies implemented by Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo to reduce car use. We talk about how these stories illustrate the power of grassroots activism and political courage to create more livable, car-free spaces. Sarah Goodyear is a journalist and author who has covered cities and transportation for publications such as Grist, CityLab, and Streetsblog. Doug Gordon is a TV producer and writer who is also a neighborhood safe streets advocate, better known online as Brooklyn Spoke.

It is widely recognized that climate change is the biggest global health threat that we face today. But one piece of information that gets relatively little attention is the question of: how does climate change affect our brains? Dr. Burcin Ikiz is a neuroscientist and global health advisor who studies exactly that. On this episode, she joins Terra Verde host Fiona McLeod to discuss how climate change and environmental factors like air pollution, extreme heat, and malnutrition affect neurological and mental health. Burcin Ikiz, PhD is the founder of EcoNeuro and the International Neuro Climate Working Group. She leads a network of over 250 researchers, physicians, and policymakers with the goal of expanding research on how climate change impacts neurological and mental health, and on translating these insights into tangible global health solutions. She is an Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry and an Affiliate of the Center for Human and Planetary Health at Stanford University, where she contributes to transdisciplinary efforts linking neuroscience, mental well-being, and climate resilience to advance brain and planetary health. In 2025, Dr. Ikiz was named a Grist 50 Fixer alongside other climate and justice leaders building sustainable and hopeful futures.

The Ten Across Resilience Network convened in Jacksonville, Florida, in April to share strategies from their communities—the hottest in the nation—for mitigating the mortality and economic loss caused by extreme heat, and to identify common obstacles to both long-term planning and immediate response. Representatives from the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) joined the exercise to discuss and document the findings. With co-author Dr. Melissa Guardaro, Senior Global Futures Scientist for ASU's Global Futures Lab, FAS's Grace Wickerson has drafted a set of policy recommendations for all levels of government and non-governmental actors, “Framework for a Heat-Ready Nation.” This document draws heavily upon the recommendations, challenges and successes raised by Ten Across participants and outlines a series of steps that can be taken to protect people and their livelihoods from rising temperatures nationwide. In this episode, Grace walks us through the five high-priority measures defined in the report; how these points were determined and what it will take to see them carried out. A scientist recognized for their policy advocacy work by last month's 2025 Grist 50 list, Grace discusses the importance of decisions based on sound science, and how to move forward even as most federal climate policy is rolled back.

The climate crisis is causing an invisible health crisis. The number one cause of neurodegenerative disease is the environment. And our environment is changing—releasing bacteria, neurotoxins and pathogens into our warming world which can change the very matter in our brains.Clayton Aldern is a neuroscientist and environmental reporter at Grist. In his 2024 book, The Weight of Nature: How a Changing Climate Changes Our Brains, Clayton revealed how the climate crisis intersects with our psychological, mental and brain health, warning that this health crisis, if left untreated, could upturn our lives. In this astounding episode, he walks through the different ways climate intersects with brain health, revealing the increased risk of a number of different diseases, what triggers them, and the absolute failure of policy-makers to address it. We discuss stress, violence, aggression, and using our bodies as an empathetic tool to understand the pain of others, with Clayton painting an optimistic picture about the power of story-telling to change the world.

Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast from Florida to Louisiana in 2005 and is still the costliest disaster in U.S. history. New Orleans, a city resting below sea level, is uniquely dependent on engineering for its safety. On August 29th, nearly every defense seemed to fail, allowing storm surge to flood 80% of the city. As terrible as the storm itself, arguably, were the human failures that contributed to what happened to New Orleans during and after Katrina—flaws in planning, infrastructure, governance, and social equity. Yet change is possible. And in the intervening years, New Orleans has become known globally as a leader in preparedness, adaptation and recovery knowledge. New Orleanians are weary of being praised for their resilience. In the past five years alone, the metro area has faced 17 federally declared national disasters—four times the national average. And the challenge of long-term adaptation can be especially overwhelming, especially at a time when consensus seems nearly impossible. But there is no substitute for New Orleans. Its people, environment, culture, and history add up to an inimitable home worth sustaining. In this episode, longtime friend of Ten Across Jeff Hébert joins us to talk about the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina—the recovery process and the lessons in it that continue to resonate for the future of all our communities. Today, Jeff is chief executive officer for HR&A Advisors. In the years after Katrina, as a New Orleans native and urban planner, he served as a director with the Louisiana Recovery Authority and as a senior official in Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration. He was also among the first chief resilience officers appointed under The Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities program. Ten Across founder Duke Reiter talks with Jeff about how his experiences with the long game of adaptation and recovery in New Orleans and beyond have shaped his perspective and his work.

I'm on holiday this week, but it would be most unGundlachian of me not to provide an episode to sustain my listeners in my absence. I recently purchased a mammoth 13-LP set on the Concert Hall Society label. The release promises a variety of excerpts that illustrate the history of opera from Monteverdi through Puccini. As such it makes use of a number of complete operatic recordings made for the now-nearly-forgotten label, as well as some impressive individual performances recorded in the early 1960s. One of the attractions of this release to me is that it presents rare recordings by three of the supreme African American divas of that era: Mattiwilda Dobbs, Reri Grist, and Felicia Weathers, the latter two at the very beginning of their international careers in the early 1960s, when they were both fest at the Zürich Opera (where, my astute listeners will remember, contralto Carol Smith) was also ensconced. None of these recordings has received wide distribution (in fact, to my knowledge the majority of them were never re-released in any form). So it is my particularly pleasure to present to you each of these three estimable artists in peak form on recordings that I (at least) had never before encountered: Dobbs as Zerlina in Don Giovanni and Olympia and Antonia in Tales of Hoffmann; Grist as Norina in Don Pasquale; and Weathers as Dido, Manon (by Massenet, not Puccini!), and Butterfly! A number of interesting male singers are nearby to provide assistance in duets: the Swiss tenor Fritz Peters, the American Glade Peterson (both of whom were also fest in Zürich at that time), the legendary French-Canadian Léopold Simoneau and Italian dramatic baritone Scipio Colombo. Far be it from me to throw together an episode that was not as fascinating as some of my more deeply-researched efforts! I'm also celebrating this week 100,000 downloads of the podcast. I've often referred to Countermelody as “the Little Podcast that Could,” so this milestone is particularly gratifying to me. Finally, this episode also serves as a belated birthday tribute to Felicia Weathers, who just last week turned 88 years old. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

This week, David Roberts is back on the show to discuss what has happened to the Inflation Reduction Act and what it means to clean energy and the climate movement to have such a major setback. We step back to think through the landscape of climate policy now and also reflect on pivotal moments in the recent history of legislative efforts that have shaped the current state of clean energy in the U.S. From his early days at Grist to his influential work at Vox, David offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of advocating for climate action. We also discuss the shifting political theories and strategies that have influenced policy decisions over the years and examine the complex interplay between politics and climate policy. David explores the role of public perception in shaping policy outcomes and why waking up to the new media enviornment is critical for the climate movement. He argues that changing the narrative around climate solutions can engage broader audiences and drive meaningful action. We also discuss the U.S. and China dynamic in the global energy transition and what he has made of covering Elon Musk over the years. David Roberts is a renowned journalist and the author of the "Volts" newsletter and podcast.
