Last week, I continued chatting about environmental podcasts with Vanessa Cuervo Forero, Head of Latin America Programs at Doc Society. Last year, Vanessa and the program’s co-creators launched the Audio Climate Story Lab, and focused on creators in Latin America.
During our conversation, we discussed:
Vanessa’s journey to impact producing
Why audio may be uniquely suited for climate storytelling
How some Latin American podcasters are approaching environmental storytelling
Impact projects that came out of the cohort
Building an ecosystem for collaboration in audio, and what filmmakers can learn
And more! Also, while not part of this program, we mentioned that our previous guests from Radio Workshop received a grant from Doc Society for their climate storytelling impact campaign. You can learn more about their experience in that conversation below!
Please let us know what you think of the conversation, and if you have thoughts on whether climate storytelling resonates more with you in an audio versus visual format.
