Storytelling

Conservatives & storytellers unite for climate well-being, featuring a wide array of valuable climate-related guests & resources though guest-host Peterson Toscano of Citizen's Climate Radio.

Even when he is being serious, comedian, storyteller, and podcast host, Esteban Gast is hilarious. And for climate advocates looking for some hope, perhaps the sweetest spot in the climate change podcast scene right now is Esteban’s new show, Comedians Conquering Climate Change. Only 15 minutes each episode, he features fellow comedians who learn along with the listener.

Last month we featured three Conservative Christians who told us how their faith compels them to promote creation care and climate change solutions. This month we feature one of America’s most widely known Progressive Evangelical Christian thought leaders. Rev. Tony Campolo is professor emeritus of sociology at Eastern University, and he led the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education for more than 40 years.

Think of this  as a patchwork quilt. Instead of one long main segment, the Art House, and the Puzzler Question, we have sewed together five shorter segments from around the world that each stand alone. Together they tell a larger story. 

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” -Albert Einstein.

Peterson Toscano recounts the epic story of a "day in the life" of Jesus and the disciples as found in Mark chapter 5. There we see a demon possessed man, a herd of pigs, really pissed off towns people, and very frightened disciples. As an actor, Peterson is curious about the backstory of "the man who dwelt amongst the tombs." What brought him to this place in his life?

When telling climate change stories, truth is more important than facts. Host, Peterson Toscano shares his own bizarre climate change coming out story. Like many people, he was aware of climate change, but it never hit him in the heart or the gut--until one day. Moving, funny, and unexpected, his awakening came when climate change hit him and his Italian-American/South African family close to home.

Sara Peach, the senior editor at Yale Climate Connectionshas ohly 90 seconds to tell a compelling and inspiring climate change related story.

Guest host Peterson Toscano of Citizen's Climate Radio looks at psychological effects of climate change with Dr. Lise Van Susteren, discusses environmental health with Dr. Natasha DeJarnett, and we see the Artic Circle through the eyes of artist Fritz Horstman.
