Re:Create (Comedy and Creativity)

Climate change can be an overwhelming topic, and a cause for anxiety and fear. But for so many people, when there is nothing but despair and hopelessness, it can produce apathy: if nothing can be done, why even bother? Why should I try to live sustainably, why should I advocate for change, if it is not going to make a difference? Well, on this episode, host Meghann Scully chats to three guests who are using comedy and the arts to provide hope. They are very serious about climate change, but know that when it comes to changing people’s minds, comedy and creativity can play a far more effective tools than fear. Comedian Colm O’Regan talks about his life and career as a self-declared “climate worrier”. He chats about using comedy to navigate despair, how failures can be much funnier (and more honest) than broad and empty sustainability claims, and about the importance of community resilience.
