The Great Inconvenience: Using Comedy to Cope

Humour over purity: a better way to talk about the climate. For Stuart Goldsmith, climate action shouldn’t be reserved for only the “purest” among us. In fact, laughing at our imperfections is what opens the door to more climate conversations. For the final episode of the On Purpose podcast series, I sat down with climate comedian Stuart Goldsmith to learn how he uses humour to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time.As someone early in my career and passionate about the climate, moving into the sustainability space has often brought up a sense of imposter syndrome: the feeling that you should know everything, be vegan and have cared about the climate since the day you were born. Speaking with Stuart helped me remind me what it means to participate in climate work.In the podcast, Stuart and I delve into topics from resilience to legacy, AI to veganism. Humour won’t solve the climate crisis, but it might just get more of ustalking. Hear the rest of Stuart’s reflections in the full episode of the On Purpose podcast. Hosted on Acast.
