Well told stories can spark real societal change that can combat our climate crisis.

We remember stories, not statistics. Environmental Studies senior Leah Kelleher harnesses the power of storytelling in her new podcast series Attune. 

This audio storytelling project shares stories that stitch us closer to the world outside our window and help us re-imagine what it means to exist on our planet. The series features environmental thinkers, scientists, and students from Vermont and beyond. Attune is made possible by the University of Vermont's Clean Energy Fund Fellowship grant

Attune is written, edited, and produced by Leah Kelleher.

Attune can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, RadioPublic, Pocket Casts, Google Podcasts, Breaker, Overcast, and YouTube.
