Remember science? Diana kicks off Season 5 with Dr. Jason Smerdon, Professor of Climate within the Columbia Climate School. Smerdon’s research focuses on climate variability and change during the past several millennia and how past climates can help us understand future climate change. His work has been profiled broadly by US and international media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Guardian.

Hi friends! In her last solo ep of the year, Diana dabbles in ASMR, gives out her superlatives, and does some much needed reflecting on #2025.Links:Dear Miami ChapbookFlâneuse

As the world looks ahead to COP30, Diana sits down with Nicholas Collura—spiritual director and Director of MIT’s Radius program—to explore how spirituality can serve as both a conduit and catalyst for climate action. In addition to his work at MIT, Nicholas is the co-founder of Eco-Philly, a volunteer-led initiative within the Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia that champions environmental sustainability and draws inspiration from Pope Francis’s landmark encyclical Laudato Si’.https://www.ecophilly.org/ https://nicholascollura.com/about-nicholas/

In this week's episode, Diana interviews Anne Therese Gennari, TEDx speaker, educator, and author of The Climate Optimist Handbook. As a workshop host and communicator, Anne Therese focuses on shifting the narrative on climate change so that we can act from courage and excitement, not fear.

Javier Gascón Araujo is the founder of Climate COO, a company that leverages AI and process optimization to build growth and ops systems for climate companies. In this episode, Diana and Javi talk about the trials and tribulations of finding your niche in the climate space, especially in your mid-career.++Links: Climate Coffee
