Awesome to see the trailer for #RisingTides drop! Enjoyed recording with Philip Boucher-Hayes on campus here at Columbia University last fall. And am excited to see how it all has come together. Huge thanks to Natalie Volk for all her hard work sorting the logistics for recording that day!

Enjoyed recording @theenergygang.bsky.social on the ground here at #COP28 with @edcrooks.bsky.social It was a good conversation about initial impressions, big announcements, challenges, and why we are (or are not) more optimistic after a few days here in Dubai. 🎧 here: okt.to/rpY7N3
