1.2. - MOF

• Waiting for MOF contact to get back June 26th

4 - Make new podcasts

• Out of the options that Dave L. presented, it sounds like the Topical interviews are the best bet – option #1
• Important to have one primary audiencein mind:
  • An informed public; an audience who cares
  • Think Radio-lab style – make the audience feel smart, or at least smart enough to talk about climate issues at a dinner party
  • What's the "meta-message"? – 
    • Give people a sense of efficacy around climate change - make climate change a little more front and center in their lives, enough to act 
• *Explain the mechanics of climate change, not just the hard science - people tend to be more accepting
• End each episode with a practical behavior request?
• Climate Conversations owns the "climate justice stuff" - MIT Climate podcast can own the science - *different audiences
• A/B testing audience = good place to start
• Laur is interested in hosting
• News Office angle – could be a co-release with them – MIT replies to popular news stories having to do with climate science - would have to figure out a way to act quickly in response
• More of a "fireside chat" version of a podcast

How do we start getting people in? Go after prioritized topics and guests over the next 2-3 weeks
