Radical Hope and Resistance in the
Age of Climate Disaster
Our newly rebranded podcast, Demand Utopia: A Solarpunk Podcast launches on Monday January 27, 2025 and you can listen right here! No need to panic. The RSS feed is the same, the webpage has the same URL. No need to resubscribe on your favorite podcast provider. We changed the name up a bit, but all those nitty gritty details have stayed the same.
Demand Utopia: A Solarpunk Podcast envisions a world where humanity thrives in harmony with nature, equity and justice guide our communities, and creativity fuels solutions to our shared challenges. By imagining brighter futures and confronting current crises with resilience, we aim to cultivate hope and empower individuals to co-create a sustainable, inclusive, and thriving planet.
The goal of the podcast is to inspire hope and action by exploring solarpunk ideas, sharing grassroots solutions, and amplifying the voices of change-makers who challenge dystopian realities. Through critical analysis, meaningful conversations, and creative storytelling, we provide listeners with the tools and inspiration to build a more just, equitable, and sustainable world while nurturing optimism in the face of adversity.
Join host Justine Norton-Kertson along with a slate of occasional guests as they discuss topics related to the current state of the world and how we can work together to create solarpunk solutions and build utopia right now in the age of climate disaster.
