How to survive a climate shitshow

Hosted by Lisa Camillo

Welcome to Are We F..ed? How to Survive a Climate Shitshow, where we tackle the pressing challenges of climate collapse with a blend of reality-check, optimism, practicality and humor.

In a world teetering on the brink of climate collapse, where hope feels like a distant memory, we want to shines a bright light amidst the darkness and anxiety of the times we are living in.

Are We F..ed? is not your typical doomsday podcast. It's a breath of fresh air in the midst of environmental despair. It’s a two-way conversation with a wide range of experts that will help us to navigate the complexity of our time with practical tips.

Italian-Australian, Lisa Camillo, award-winning filmmaker and anthropologist, is the host of the show and she combines elements of positivity and survivalism, offering a well-rounded approach to addressing the challenges of climate collapse.

Our aim is to resonate with the younger generations by presenting a young, fresh, and practical perspective on climate resilience with serious science without losing our sense of humour.

Are We F..ed? How to Survive a Climate Shitshow is more than just a podcast— it's a movement.

Join us on this journey as we navigate the challenges of climate collapse with optimism, resilience, and a healthy dose of irreverence. Together, we can face the shitshow head-on and emerge stronger on the other side.
