The discussions brought together artists, writers, film-makers, scientists, academics and journalists with a comedian, a choreographer, a campaigner, an entrepreneur, and an architect.
The podcasts have been sponsored by the Open University’s Open Space research centre and the Ashden Trust. The discussions, each in front of a live audience, were chaired by Quentin Cooper, presenter of BBC Radio 4's 'Material World' programme.
Joe Smith, Senior Lecturer at the Open University, introduces the podcasts:
These discussions consider how humanity is making sense of an extraordinary new body of knowledge. Knowledge of climate change raises huge philosophical and cultural questions about who and what counts - now and in the future. We want these recordings to help artists,
writers, filmmakers and others to understand the context in which they are working and to place their own work in relation to that of others.
The podcasts, their themes and the speakers are:
