Critical Frequency Launches Slate of Coronavirus & Climate PodcastsListen BelowOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Shore Fire Media This month, Critical Frequency, winner of Adweek’s “Podcast Network of the Year” in 2019, launches an ambitious slate of four podcasts that take different looks at how the current coronavirus crisis impacts and influences the ongoing climate crisis. “I’m hearing from a lot of reporters that nothing matters other than the direct health or economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Amy Westervelt, head of Critical Frequency, said. “But from listeners and readers I’m hearing that they’re keen to understand how all this will shape what happens on climate in the next year, and what those who are concerned about climate change should be doing while they’re cooped up at home, so we figured it was a good niche for us to fill right now.”
