    How “Glitch Feminism” can bring us closer together, with Kalpana Arias

    2026/03/12 | 10 mins.
    Embrace the “glitch” to unlock more sustainable, collective and joyful futures, says nature campaigner Kalpana Arias on the Climate Curious podcast. In conversation with Ben Hurst and Maryam Pasha, Kalpana explores the surprising nature/tech overlap, and how “Glitch Feminism” can help us take back power in our digital spaces, and in turn, reclaim our relationship with tech as a key step in accelerating climate action.

    Who gave Big Oil a backstage pass? With Tori Tsui

    2026/03/10 | 45 mins.
    “There are no better messengers than artists” says climate campaigner, advisor, and author, Tori Tsui, as she unpicks the relationship between music and climate on the Climate Curious podcast. In conversation with Climate Curious co-hosts Ben Hurst and Maryam Pasha, Tori shares how some of the biggest artists like Massive Attack, Brain Eno, and Coldplay are using their platform for good, and how the “teeth” of the Fossil Fuel Treaty can support musicians and artists to step into climate action. From unashamed “eco-kid” to science nerd and now climate advisor, we get to know the ‘It’s Not Just You’ author on another level. Plus, find out why Ben Hurst is “p*ssed”!

    How to close climate loopholes – in court, with Tessa Khan

    2026/02/27 | 8 mins.
    "It sounds totally preposterous now – excluding the climate impact of burning oil," says Tessa Khan, environmental lawyer, campaigner, and founder of Uplift. Live on stage at Climate Curious Live in London, Tessa breaks down the legal strategy behind taking the previous UK government to court over its approval of the Rosebank oil field, and how they won! She unpacks the loopholes Big Oil has long relied on, the far-reaching implications of the UK Supreme Court's landmark ruling for climate policy, and why the billionaire-funded lobbying machine is finally starting to slip. Recorded in conversation with Climate Curious co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst.

    The UK’s biggest climate wins – and what comes next, with Tessa Khan

    2026/02/25 | 29 mins.
    “I feel upbeat about what's possible," says Tessa Khan, environmental lawyer, campaigner, and founder of Uplift. In this live episode, Tessa joins co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst for a stocktake of the UK's most epic climate victories: ending new oil and gas exploration, shutting down the last coal-fired power plant, and becoming the only major economy to cut greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 50% in 30 years. There's a lot to celebrate – and a lot still to fight for! Plus: how climate messaging can appeal to the populist right. Recorded live at Climate Curious Live in London.
