How We Survive - Climate Solutions Podcast

Hosted by Amy Scott

“How We Survive” is an award-winning podcast from Marketplace about the messy business of climate solutions. From the glitz and glam of Miami, to the punishing Arizona desert, to a sinking island that our national security depends on, every season, takes listeners on an adventure. We’re finding the innovative, surprising and occasionally disturbing ways that people are navigating solutions to a changing climate.
Previous seasons explored the underbelly of the lithium extraction economy with tech expert Molly Wood and investigated the red hot Miami real estate market that’s increasingly vulnerable to storms and sea level rise with journalist Amy Scott. The latest season hosted by former navy pilot Kai Ryssdal, examines the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, that’s also on the front lines of dealing with the climate crisis: The US military. How will the institution that shaped Kai, shape our climate future? Kai traverses the frigid landscape of Alaska, participates in experiments in a Navy lab, and gets stranded on a remote tropical island to find out.
In addition to long-form deep dive seasons, “How We Survive” has a spin-off video-first podcast series called “Burning Questions,” that empowers listeners with information they can implement in their lives. We answer questions about how to find climate-safe places to live, the best and worst foods to eat for the environment, maintaining hope when all you want to do is doom-scroll and tips to climate-proof your house.
