Bright Green Futures is both a podcast and a newsletter where we lift up stories that imagine a more just and sustainable world and talk about the struggle to get there.

The purpose is to collect up the works and the writers in one place, so we can build community and work together to surface these stories and grow the genre (and the recommended reading lists). The single biggest question I get with hopepunk and solarpunk works (or hopeful climate fiction in general) is “where can I find more like this?”

By having both a podcast and a newsletter, I can reach people in their preferred mode: some folks like pods, some like to read. We need to USE ALL THE TOOLS available in this fight, and that’s what I’m trying to do.

The podcast is live on Spotify, Apple, YouTube Music, Pocket Cast, and Overcast, as well as Substack. Subscribing to the Bright Green Futures Substack will get you both the pod and the newsletter, but make sure to check the website header for zines, recommended reading lists, the Bright Green Futures anthology, and now Top 10 Solarpunk Books to Request at the Library!

I hope you’ll check it out, subscribe, and share with your friends!
