A season-long special of the podcast interviewing #ClimateAmbassadors up and down the country! Why did they become Ambassadors? How can they help communities and education settings to take climate action? Joining Kit Marie based in the East of England is Willem Buttinger, a retired community organiser and passionate environmental advocate. Willem shares how a sudden spike in his home insurance premium led him to discover the hidden flood risks in his Norwich neighbourhood—and how that moment sparked a new chapter of climate activism. From organising local climate events to supporting schools as a Climate Ambassador, Willem reflects on the power of community, the importance of climate literacy, and why we need a new story for our civilisation—one that nurtures the planet rather than exploits it.

Kit Marie and David Preece sit down with a cuppa and chat about the what is ‘home’, Sahara desert, data visualisations, amongst other things! In the world before YouTube and the internet, the opportunities to be inspired were different and rare. In 1995, Dr James Jackson gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, called "Earth: An Explorer's Guide" on a relatively new idea called Plate Tectonics, and a young boy in Birmingham, called David Preece, had his view of the world changed. He didn't know he wanted to do Geography or study the world, but it started a journey that would end up nearly three decades later with this podcast. With the incredible support and guidance of Geography teachers, David read Geography at university and postgrad, before training to be a Geography teacher in South East London. He taught in schools for 13 years, as a teacher and Head of Department. He's been involved in UCAS and lots of school adventures; before moving to Initial Teacher Education at Teach First in 2021.
