Browngirlgreen, aka Kristy Drutman, has a huge following on Instagram. Drutman explores a variety of environmental issues, particularly the need to include minority cultures in discussions about climate change and the ecological crisis. Her podcast on climate change and disabilities showed me a part of the green movement that I had not been aware of. During the podcast, she interviews Marsha Saxton and Alex Ghenis from the World Institute on Disabilities. Throughout they contemplate the ableist biases within the green movement, and the need to consider how those with different abilities will be impacted by climate change and the ecological crisis in different ways. This podcast has been particularly useful for me when thinking about how I can make Call Us Angels as diverse and accessible as possible. This is a must listen for those of you working on your own protests and projects exploring climate change and the ecological crisis.

Ecochicpodcast provide  material for those of you who are interested in living an eco-friendly lifestyle. They also explore more hard-hitting issues, like in this recommended episode in which the ecochic team explore the need for a more intersectional environmental movement. They interview Leah Thomas, of GreenGirlLeah social media fame, and discuss the impact the murder of George Floyd has had on the Black Lives Matter movement and the green movement - particularly in America. This is an interesting listen and would be useful for those of you who have already researched Kimberle Crenshaw's theories of intersectionality.

Greendreamer is a multi-media platform exploring different ways we can live in an eco-friendly manner. Their podcasts often interview leaders in the green movement, providing different voices and insights into activism, lifestyle choices and nature. This episode of the Greendreamer podcast interviews Jerry Yudleson. Yudleson has been a part of the green movement in the USA since the 70s. He was a co-founder of the first Earth Day and provides interesting commentary as to how Earth Day has changed and grown over the years. For me personally, I found this podcast reminded me of the extensive history of green movements around the world. After listening to this interview, I would suggest looking up the Greenham Common protests and ecofeminism to remind yourself where the green movement in the UK has grown from.

Out of all of the podcasts suggested by @_consciouslyeco, this episode by Houseonfire was definitely my favourite. Houseonfire is a podcast organised by a group of young people in America fighting for climate justice. It is supported by the CLEO Institute, an organisation based in Florida that works with communities to educate them on social and climate issues. This particularly episode from Houseonfire considers the relationship between climate justice and racial justice. There are interviews with Sam Grant and Leah Thomas, both giving thoughtful insights into the disproportionate impact climate change and the ecological crisis will have on minority groups. Like the Ecochicpodcast episode I suggested, there is a lot of conversation here about intersectionality and so I would suggest reminding yourself about Kimberle Crenshaw's work by watching this video.
