Lester Brown and I, diavlogging 4
Posted 1 week, 1 day ago I recently recorded my first BloggingHeads TV ... episode? diavlog? not sure what they're called ... with Lester Brown, focused on the latest edition of his book: Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization. My main takeaway from the experience is that I need a much better microphone on my laptop. The sound is pretty awful on my end. Also I'm long overdue for some beard maintenance. And media training. There's some chit-chat and technical glitches toward the beginning, but we get rolling about 5 minutes in.

Me, on the (web) radio 0
Posted 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Last week I made an appearance on Green Patriot Radio, and the episode is now online, with the somewhat amusing slug, "Mariel Hemingway and the Waxman-Markey Climate Bill."

You can listen to the episode ... on a buggy player with no controls ... at this horrendously ugly website (WTF?). But it's worth it!

Grist profiled in Finnish paper—read all about it 5
Posted 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Grist is the focus of a feature story in a Finnish newspaper, and with some help from Google Translate, we attempt to find out what the heck it says: “Will climate change laughs? Humor is a can, and sugar, with online magazine Grist may be the Americans to swallow the bitter environment.”
