About Power in the City

The way that climate change is spoken about in the media and by experts can seem a bit dry, abstract and doesn’t feel like it relates to you and me or where we live. What can we actually do? Well, as it turns out - quite a bit! Power in the City features authentic voices, places & stories showing the every-day ways that people are responding to the climate emergency from within their own neighbourhoods. Our 1st series is based in Oldham. Produced by Carbon Coop and funded by the Electricity North West Powering our Communities Fund, ICLEI Action Fund and UCL Grand Challenges.

05 - From 9 to 5? - Part 2

This episode is about the grind, the toil, the sweat, the slog, the graft, the duty - and things like skills and craft, commitment and creativity. Yes, it’s about work! The green kind. It’s about working in the energy transition. What exactly is a green job? How do I get myself one of those? What motivates folks who have one? And is it the same as a good job? Join us as we talk to people that hold green jobs and those that create the conditions for more of us to have one.    There are two parts to this episode - this is Part 2.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
