The Polar Podcast: Recent Episodes
Lustrum Committee
For the fourth and final episode of the podcast we had the very special guest Bas Eickhout! We talked about polarisation within politics, why it is needed to some extent, and also the difference between national and European politics! Make sure to give this one and the other episodes a listen if you haven't yet! and also, we'd love to hear feedback if you have :)
1, 2, 3.... The third episode of the Polar Podcast is out! For Storm's Lustrum we made a series about polarisation in the climate debate.
We've talked with an activist and a journalist before, but this third episode is close to us as students: associate professor Frank van Laerhoven tells us about his personal, internal polarisation as a scientist. Is science a stakeholder in public debate or rather informing the stakeholders in place? Is the goal of science to contribute to theory building or to solve actual problems? Hear about Frank's very interesting stance on these topics on our Spotify!
The Polar Podcast is a series about about polarisation in the climate debate. Last week we published the first episode with activist Melati Wijsen, and today we release the second episode.
This time, we were very happy to have journalist and former UN youth representative Elian Yahye as our guest. His articles focus on the youth perspective, in the climate movement but also in human rights issues. Curious already? We talked about youth climate movements, "horizontal" polarisation between generations, but also "vertical" polarisation, and the role of journalism in highlighting certain perspectives and provoking discussion. Go give it a listen on our Spotify account! And if you're interested, you can read his articles on NRC, the Correspondent and on Vice Versa.
This is a podcast serie about polarisation in the climate debate. In the following weeks we will publish four episodes, each with a guest from another discipline. In this first episode, we have activist and fulltime changemaker Melati Wijsen as our guest.
