PODCASTS

With a passion for telling stories from creative perspectives, Jack has been producing, editing, and writing podcasts for over 3 years, both personally and professionally. 

​

At Resources for the Future (RFF), a D.C. research institute specializing in environmental and energy policy, Jack supported podcast productions for RFF's Resources Radio platform. These weekly policy-oriented productions feature interviews with leading experts on topics including climate migration, the social and economic impacts of environmental change, and climate resiliency strategies for the future.

In addition to his work at RFF, Jack is an audio producer for the Security Ledger's podcast series, focusing on providing listeners with content-rich information on cyber security within businesses, commerce, politics, and everyday life. Most recently, Jack's podcast work has driven him to dive deeper into producing content on the public policy developments in the technology and security space.

​

Jack aims to create accessible and concise content that encourages his listeners to think deeply about the topics discussed.

Are Climate Communicators Credible?

Host Daniel Raimi talks with Professor Shahzeen Attari of the Indiana University's O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Daniel and Shahzeen discuss her work on how the personal behavior of climate change communicators can affect the reception of their message. If a climate scientist uses a lot of energy at home or is a frequent flyer, do they lose credibility? It's a really challenging question—one that Shahzeen's work illuminates. The results, and this conversation, can help all of us think critically about our own energy use.

There’s been quite a bit of progress over the years, but there are still big challenges and plenty of room for improvement.

Host Daniel Raimi talks with Professor Sanya Carley of Indiana University's O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
