We’ve barely even started Climate Workers Anonymous and I’m already receiving such challenging and intriguing pieces of feedback, and so many submissions. Thank you to everyone who has participated to date and taken time to share something real with this project.

A friend of mine wrote me right before I recorded this episode and mentioned that he wanted fewer hot takes and more stories, and emotional content beyond anger. It set me to thinking about anger and how I understand its usefulness or lack thereof.

I wrote a fair amount about this topic in the Substack posting of this podcast. If you are only seeing this in your podcast app, head over to the Substack for the full experience. You can also read all of the submissions over there rather than only listening to me read them.

Also, stay tuned for an episode of my other podcast, Reversing Climate Change, which will soon feature a fuller exploration of the Bhagavad Gita.

Today we have thirteen(!) submissions to read that cover despair, rage, and other feelings about working climate that the authors could not say aloud.

The intro to this show also explains why this project isn't an act of investigative journalism, but a collective art project about feelings. I can't verify the claims of submissions and don't seek to. I alter submissions when it feels necessary to preserve the spirit of the project, but I freely admit I am trying to figure out where the editorial line might be.

If you submit, I hope you can respect this approach.

N.B. there were actually only thirteen submissions; not fourteen! I skipped a number in there.

Here it is: the first show with anonymous submissions to Climate Workers Anonymous. In this episode there are six short thoughts (or four depending upon whether technology has its say), and one longer one.

There are big thoughts and analysis. There are feelings of dread and hope. Listen in for yourself.

Also, this episode starts with some of my thoughts on some of the ethics and aesthetics of a show like this, as well as a few quotes:

" I am human. Nothing human is foreign to me."

— Terence

" Your energy recycles into every possible relation to everyone else's energy, even Brad's. You've been predator and prey with him, friends, enemies, brother, sister, mother, child."

— I Heart Huckabees
