On A People's Climate, Shilpi Chhotray connects the dots between environmental issues, racial justice and corporate power, putting the people fighting for change front and center. The podcast asks what solutions look like and who's already fighting for them.
On this episode, host Cory Choy, Festival Director of the New York City Podcast Awards, sits down with Shilpi Chhotray, whose A People's Climate podcast won three awards, including Best Society & Culture, at the 2026 New York City Podcast Awards. They talk about:
- How Shilpi’s childhood spent rescuing wildlife – and a trip to India – led her to environmental justice
- Why climate storytelling needs to put people at the center
- How language matters when talking about climate
- How a community can be more powerful than a marketing budget
- How Shilpi and her team prepare for interviews, build trust and get guests to move beyond their talking points
- Why every episode looks for solutions, even when the stories get tough
- How Shilipi’s son sums up her work in a few words
