Episode 6: The Love Story

Presenting — What If We Get It Right: Earth is our only shareholder, with Patagonia CEO Ryan Gellert

Sabotage is back this week to share an episode from another climate podcast we love, called What If We Get It Right? Each week, its host, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, and her expert guests explore how we can create a liveable future here on Earth.  And in this episode, she has a thought-provoking conversation with Ryan Gellert. He’s the CEO of Patagonia, where she’s also a board member, and they get into a question that feels more relevant than ever: What could happen if corporations do business differently — and prioritize protecting the planet as much as earning a profit? You might know Ayana from her New York Times bestselling book, What If We Get it Right?: Visions of Climate Futures [https://www.getitright.earth/] – which just came out in an updated paperback edition.  To celebrate, Ayana is throwing Climate Dance Parties [https://www.getitright.earth/tour] at aquariums, natural history museums, and botanical gardens across the country. If you make it to one, let us know how it is.  And until then, you can check out more episodes of What If We Get It Right?

Episode 9: The Radicals

It was the shocking protest that started it all. After months, Ali and Sam finally track down the two young people — Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland — who shocked the world when they targeted a beloved Van Gogh painting with a can of soup. As they await their trials, they get candid: What have their controversial tactics accomplished? What will it take for them to stop? How do they feel about Aileen Getty’s oil fortune funding the movement? And after a year of reporting, will Ali and Sam finally meet Aileen?

Episode 8: The Traitors

It’s not just Aileen Getty. Turns out, there’s a growing movement of ultra-wealthy fossil fuel heirs-turned-philanthropists who are trying to make up for their ancestors’ mistakes — and possibly pissing off their families in the process. But are their fortunes actually making a difference? And what, exactly, is an heir whisperer? As Ali and Sam get to know some of these heirs, the granddaughter of the once-wealthiest man in America comes over and shares her journey from heiress to activist.

Episode 7: The Feelings

What’s the sane thing to do in a world on fire? That’s the question on Ali and Sam’s minds when they meet the man who glued himself to the floor of Coco Gauff’s US Open Semifinal on live TV — and then faced a psychiatric evaluation after his arrest. As Ali and Sam explore ways to cope with climate anxiety and climate change’s health impacts, they hear from a climate therapist, an infectious disease physician, and a young woman dealing with a daunting medical diagnosis. For all of them, activism is a surprising solution.
