    What it takes to become an expedition diver (and find a megalodon tooth), with ocean explorer Andi Cross

    29/10/2026 | 8 mins.
    “There is nothing that brings me greater joy than when I'm down in a super murky river… and I find a prehistoric megalodon tooth the size of my hand,” says expedition and technical diver, Andi Cross. From deadlifting her own bodyweight, to braving the dark and fast river currents with near-zero visibility, where one moment of equipment failure could be the difference between life and death. In conversation with Climate Curious co-host Ben Hurst, Andi sifts through the high stakes nature of being an underwater explorer, and the path she took to getting there and breaks down why diverse role models are important in ocean conservation, and what it takes to become an elite underwater athlete for the planet. Recorded in New York.

    Why NYC is bringing back oyster reefs, with expedition diver Andi Cross

    21/10/2026 | 40 mins.
    We thought New York City was built on dreams – turns out it’s built on oysters! Who knew New York’s harbour is home to one of the world’s biggest oyster rewilding projects? Expedition diver, Andi Cross, joins Climate Curious to share how the Billion Oyster Project is restoring NYC’s waters with the ambition of creating a self-sustaining reef system. In conversation with Climate Curious co-host Ben Hurst, they get into how these filter feeders are the backbone to a healthy ecosystem by offering the perfect nature-based solution to help create a more resilient city. They also cover what it takes to become a professional diver that specialises in the most extreme diving conditions (spoiler: farmer strength). From concrete jungle to oyster reef, tune in to hear how it all starts with one simple action: getting on the water.

    Why VIP climate shocks aren’t the worst thing, with Dana R. Fisher

    09/10/2026 | 10 mins.
    When Nicholas Cage’s Malibu home nearly got swallowed by a sinkhole last month, we knew climate change had hit the rich. And after a summer of deadly heatwaves sweeping Europe and North America, governments and businesses were forced to sit up a little straighter and start clocking the climate crisis. Sociologist, professor, and Apocalyptic Optimist Dana R Fisher joins Climate Curious’ Ben Hurst in conversation in New York to share why VIP climate shocks might not be the worst thing – becuase when climate shocks go mainstream, they can move the majority.

    The #1 audience climate communicators aren’t speaking to, with Dana R. Fisher

    06/10/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    Climate communicators are quite frankly, terrible at talking to each other. Or that’s what new research just published by the Talking Climate Collaborative shows. Climate Curious invited the study’s lead researcher, sociologist and professor Dana R. Fisher to jump on the podcast during New York Climate Week to break down the results, and chat all things communication, democracy, and climate. In conversation with Climate Curious’ co-host Ben Hurst, this Apocalyptic Optimist shares how climate communicators can link arms and momentum share, why she thinks VIP climate shocks are a good thing (but can still feel sorry for Nicolas Cage), her theory on the Luigi Mangione case, and her climate clapback to the age-old (and incorrect!) “it only takes 3.5% to change the world” rule.
