Toxic Life Podcast

We’ve seen the word everywhere: we live in “toxic times;” feel the threat of toxic discourse; and are awash in toxic materials. Together, we want to think about the intersections of labour, place, and scale in a world structured by transnational capitalism, persistent colonialisms, occupations and war-time destruction, large-scale infrastructure and energy projects, and environmental ruin. Our conversations are minimally edited and serve to broaden the discussion around what is toxic in our world today.The Toxic Life Podcast is co-hosted by environmental media scholars Krista Lynes and Ayesha Vemuri at the Feminist Media Studio at Concordia University in Tio'tia:ke, Montreal, Production and music by Piper Curtis.
