Episode 20 - Podstrike

Description
All hail global climate strike day! Fatherhood is here with a one-off #podstrike episode in support of the climate strike of September 20.  And it feels fitting for a parent-ish show to follow the mighty footsteps of what looks to be a new generation of global leaders, keeping climate activism on the agenda.  It’s a true crisis, and it’s kinda all our fault. So let’s get together and make amends. The podstrike is happening across podland, and is a neat way of collectively raising awareness. But what we really need is global action - for the bottom to reach the top and topple those buffoons over the edge into the seas of doing the right thing. So get voting, protesting, whatever you can to make a difference - and most importantly, do it together!  For a bit of inspiration, now have a listen to this episode from April, live amidst the Extinction Rebellion protest which occupied Waterloo Bridge and put the climate crisis back on the front pages. #podstrike
