Climate Stew

Climate Stew host, Peterson ToscanoThe time has come to say goodbye–well and hello. This is the final episode of the Climate Stew podcast, but not the end of our relationship. I am heading over to the Citizens Climate Lobby to create the Citizens Climate Show. But before that we have this final episode–our biggest ever. I interview Dr. Jennifer O'Brien, one of the most creative teachers I have ever met and an expert on all things pop culture. We talk about teaching in a time of climate change, oh, and pop culture.We also hear from Yuri Ivanovitich Petrov with a report about meat on a warming planet–soooo much meat. AND we finally hear directly from Joe G, the man I always thank at the end of ever single episode. Elizabeth Jeremiah and Marvin Bloom come face to face for an audio celebrity death match. Oh, and we end with a Citizens Climate Puzzler and a chance for you to share your solutions to a dilemma that comes up at a party.

Tyler Connoley, passionate about welcoming in the strangerIn Ep 47 we look again at migrants–all kinds of migrants. Climate migrants. Economic migrants. Missionaries. And forced migration. We explore these many migrations through the personal story of Tyler Connoley, an openly gay minister in the United Church of Christ. Tyler speaks passionately and personally about immigration. Up until very recently he has  lived in the American Southwest, right on the front-lines of  the US immigration battle grounds. Through the interview he had with Climate Stew host, Peterson Toscano, Tyler takes us all over the world as he makes connections with faith communities, LGBTQ issues, World War II, and climate justice in the US and Italy.Climate Stew podcast is available on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, SoundCloud, Spreaker Radio, or Listen here  on our site.

Dr. Claire HerrickThis episode is all about health and climate change. We hear from Dr. Claire Herrick, who taught me a bunch of things I did not know was happening with our health on our rapidly changing planet. From respiratory ailments to mosquitos bringing diseases like Dengue fever and Zika virus, Dr. Herrick gives a clear overview of the health risks we face. She along with Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz and Climate Stew commentator, Marvin Bloom, not only highlight serious health concerns, but also how the racial disparity in who is affected.

Joseph and the amazing climate adaption plan?Routinely on this program we look at faith and climate change. Some of the largest organizations in the world are religious, so potentially the biggest players when it comes to climate action. Climate Stew crew member Leah Schade joins us again to talk about a controversial Bible passage that likely has never been seen through a climate change lens before. Mark 3 verses 28-30 talks about an unforgivable sin–blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Leah looks at the Hebrew word for spirit–breath/air to consider our climate crisis and what happens when our pollution goes too far to the point of no return.Marvin Bloom also weighs in on this Bible theme with his own climate change reading of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. There was a famine and a successful adaptation plan. Pharaoh sure liked it, but was it a just plan? And from our friends at Yale Climate Connections, we hear about a climate change conversion from a meteorologist who went from climate skeptic to climate action figure.Climate Stew podcast is available on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, SoundCloud, Spreaker Radio, or Listen here  on our site.

Episode 15 of Climate Stew looks at rail travel. Ah the romance of the train and the many hassles too. Peterson recently completed a cross-country train tour on Amtrak got backed up  a lot because of freight traffic, particularly by crude oil tankers.

We also include Climate Stew's first ever live concert featuring Poeina's new song, Miracle. What will train travel look like in the future?

Episode 14 of Climate Stew has an Italian-American edge to it. Tony Buffusio, from the Bronx, takes over the news today and reveals three diets that are guaranteed to help you lose, make you healthier, and even clean up the air. Peterson reflects on his own Italian-American upbringing and reveals a time when he and his sisters got into big trouble in the backseat of the family car.

On the 12 Episode of Climate Stew my true climate love gave to me–one amazing chat about ebola, bush meat, and climate change. Dr. Jennifer O'Brien, an ecologist, Climate Stew member, and master high school teacher at the Watkinson School in Hartford explains the connection between global warming and an increase in diseases like ebola.
