About this listen

Are you Climate Curious? If you care about the world, but find the current conversation about climate change confusing, scary or boring – then this might be the podcast for you. Join TEDxLondon and co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst as we lift the lid on the climate emergency by speaking to the world’s leading and most relatable climate pioneers. Find out why cities are key to the climate fight, why we need to tackle systemic problems (and not just plastic straws), and why we’re all a bit crap at sustainability.

  • Climate success stories of the year 2025, with Fix The News’ Angus Hervey
    Jan 20 2026

    Is the climate crisis as bleak as some of the headlines make it seem? Fix The News’ founder, solutions journalist and political economist, Angus Hervey, joins Climate Curious to talk “trendlines versus headlines”, and reveals the biggest climate story of 2025: China. In conversation with co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst, we discuss whether renewables are adding to the energy system or actually replacing fossil fuels, the unstoppable momentum of solar and wind in the US, and how China and its massive push into renewables may be the biggest story not being told in 2025.

    Can ancient myths and folktales from the lost goddesses of Britain help us solve the climate crisis? Kim Willis thinks so.

  • How to live without fear, with Mo Brings Plenty
    Jan 8 2026

    “It’s not too late” for us to embrace and preserve the natural world, “it’s just a little step back… a choice to live without fear.” Growing up in Lakota Country, actor Mo Brings Plenty of hit show ‘Yellowstone’, shares with Climate Curious his perspective on the natural world and how despite humans being “the most vicious predators the world has come to know” there is a space for us to fit inside the ecosystem. In conversation with executive producer Josie Colter, Mo drills down into the notion that we are all in this together, and that by listening to nature we can find our respective places in this world.
