Exhausted from July's record heat waves? It turns out pollinators are, too. In Heat Wave Hive Inspection, Terra Informa dives deep into how record-breaking temperatures have impacted even the smallest Edmontonians, with beekeeper Dylan Hall explaining to hosts Elizabeth Dowdell and Hannah Cunningham how climate change impacts life of all sizes.
The Terra Informa team is dedicated to making "environmental intricacies of the world around us" accessible to the public. Now in Season 10 at CJSR, Edmonton's campus and community radio station, and broadcasting to over 50 communities across Canada, the show has covered issues such as Indigenous fishing livelihoods, water rights, and rising global temperatures in recent months.
This award-winning project is one of CJSR's longest running shows, launched by Paul Reikie and Tara Irwin in 2003. Among its alumni is Taproot contributor and People's Agenda listening sessions host Chris Chang-Yen Phillips, who started out as a reporter on the show 10 years ago and is now CJSR's podcasting co-ordinator.
As well as playing on CJSR every Tuesday at 5 pm, you can catch Terra Informa on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and their website.
You can listen to podcast picks from Taproot on Listen Notes or Spotify.
