Vancouver Podcast Festival: Podcasting Climate Change

The climatic events of 2021 (heat, fires, floods, storms) have brought home the reality of climate change like never before — and the urgency for media to address this crisis couldn't feel greater. But how do we talk about the climate emergency in ways that move us away from despair and disaster coverage? How can podcasts shift the conversation in ways the mainstream media cannot or refuses to do? How do we talk about climate justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and de-colonizing media? For this special release, tune into the live event recording from Podcasting Climate Change, a session at the 2021 Vancouver Podcast Festival. This recording features a panel discussion curated and moderated by Below the Radar host Am Johal. He is joined by Chief Patrick Michell, Julia Kidder, Eugene Kung and Grace Nosek. This Vancouver Podcast Festival event was presented in partnership with the Vancouver Public Library.

Guest: Tim Powers Vice-Chairman of Summa Strategies   Chapter 4 Madeleine Baran discusses the acclaimed podcast In The Dark The award-winning podcast In the Dark, Season 2, looks at the case of Curtis Flowers, a man in Mississippi who has been tried for the same murders six times. Despite pointing out the faulty evidence and witness testimony in the podcast, Flowers still remains behind bars and on death row.  However, some good news came recently when it was announced that the Supreme Court will hear Flowers' case by June! The justices will examine if District Attorney Doug Evans had a history of racial discrimination in jury selection. In season one, In The Dark examined the rare crime of child abduction. The reporters examined the case of Jacob Wetterling, the 11 year old boy from St. Joseph, Minnesota who went missing on October 22, 1989. His abduction remained a mystery for nearly 27 years… until the team from In The Dark started examining the faulty police investigation of his disappearance. Lead In the Dark reporter Madeleine Baran is in Vancouver  to speak at the Vancouver Podcast Festival, running Nov. 8-10. Guest: Madeleine Baran Investigative reporter for APM Reports and the host and lead reporter of the podcast In the Dark.   Chapter 5 Does warning kids of ‘stranger danger' give them the right tools for interacting with people? Earlier in the show we spoke with Madeleine Baran of APM's In The Dark, and she discussed the first season of the podcast that dealt with the abduction of 11 year old Jacob Wetterling. In that series, the parents of Jacob Wetterling discussed how that case was a classic case of ‘stranger danger', but how, despite what happened to their son, parents should not parent their children based on what happened to their son. Instead, the Wetterling family encouraged parents to remember that children are often harmed by someone they know. Geoff Newiss is the Director of Action Against Abduction in the UK , and his organization feels that the idea of stranger danger has fostered an unhealthy amount of fear of strangers among children. It inspired him to devise a new safety message for children, which he thinks is more fit for purpose - not least because the majority of abductions are committed by an adult already known to the child. Guest: Geoff Newiss Director, Action Against Abduction   Chapter 6 A young man ate a garden slug on a dare, became paralyzed and died 8 years later Guest: Dr Heather Stockdale Walden Asst. Professor of Parasitology at the University of Florida   Chapter 7 Jeff Sessions is fired US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has resigned as the country's chief law enforcement officer at the request of the President.
