Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast covers a range of topics related to climate change, including climate impacts on weather patterns, non-partisan messaging around climate issues, and innovative scientific approaches to sustainability. Episodes have featured discussions on the implications of climate change with experts like meteorologists Jeff Berardelli and Chris Gloninger, as well as pioneering work in carbon utilization by scientists such as Professor Emily Carter.
Simmer Down takes a cool-headed look at a hot topic – climate change. Host Kathleen Biggins, founder and president of C-Change Conversations, sits down with a range of experts to talk about how climate change is impacting the things we all love and need — the things we talk about around our kitchen tables.
Staying true to C-Change’s nonpartisan, science-based approach, Kathleen and guests address the really important questions we all have when it comes to climate change: How can we protect our families and assets? How can we stay healthy? And how can we protect the things we love?
In Season One, we explore the impacts of climate change on weather, health, insurance, sports, investing, and food. Whether you’re curious, concerned, or already care about our changing climate, our non-confrontational conversations are a great way to learn more about how it is likely affecting your daily life – and why we have hope for the future.
When we talk about how climate change impacts our lives, many people are surprised to learn that it’s even affecting the way we should consider investing our money. And there’s a lot to consider, from supply chain issues to how committed companies are to climate action. In this episode, we asked an investment expert – Mark Hays – what do we need to know to build climate-smart portfolios?
