In this episode, Anjali Appadurai and Seth Klein sit down with Garth Mullins to explore the interconnectedness of the climate crisis and the overdose crisis, emphasizing the need for solidarity among various social movements.

The costs of LNG (w/ Kiki Wood and Clark Williams-Derry)
On June 30, Canada officially became an exporter of LNG. Emiko Newman (Coordinator of the BC Climate Emergency Campaign) uses this inauspicious occasion as a jumping off point to tally up the costs of LNG on our environment, climate, health and finances with Kiki Wood (Senior Oil and Gas Campaigner at Stand.earth) and Clark Williams-Derry from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. Tune in for a deep dive into fracking, how exporting LNG will drive up the domestic price of energy and gas as well as some serious mythbusting of the LNG greenwashing machine, including the myth that LNG is a necessary transition fuel that's cleaner than coal (it's really not).This episode aired on July 24, 2025.Learn more and get involved at:LNG fact sheet from the BC Climate Emergency Campaign Ending Fracking and LNG in BC from Stand.earth Oil/Gas & LNG reports from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial AnalysisListen to our recent episode on the PRGT pipeline (Spotify, Apple)Credits: Produced by Emiko Newman and Doug Hamilton-Evans.

Election breakdown and Bushra’s campaign (w/ Seth Klein, Anjali Appadurai and Bushra Asghar)
It took us a moment to catch our breaths after the federal election, but Anjali Appadurai, Seth Klein and Bushra Asghar took a moment to debrief on what the heck happened and what it means for the climate movement. Then, we asked Bushra about her experience campaigning as the NDP candidate for Mississauga-Streetsville. While she didn’t win her seat, she’s a champion in our hearts and did some incredible grassroots organizing for climate and social justice in suburban Ontario. Valuable lessons for us all!This episode aired on May 9, 2025.Credits:Hosted by Anjali Appadurai and featuring Seth Klein and Bushra Asghar. Music and audio editing by Anjali Appadurai.
