Building on the work of the Open Air Podcasting initiative, this webinar will explore the use of community-based podcasting for climate justice. Over the 60 minutes, participants will learn about grassroots, accessible approaches to podcasting as tools for frontline communities and climate organizers. Participants will have the opportunity to begin to plan how to tell their own stories to shift climate narratives and build relationships to inspire social justice-based climate action.
