Sounds Like A Plan

'Storytelling' – with Nicky Hawkins, On Road Media

Listen on

Episode notes

The podcast is back! Series 3 of Sounds Like A Plan starts right here. Ten new weekly episodes coming your way. 

We begin by welcoming Nicky Hawkins, communications director at On Road Media, onto the podcast. On Road are all about media storytelling around the climate crisis and other social issues, working with TV producers, documentary makers and – most relevant to our podcast – musicians. 

She joins your co-hosts Fay Milton and Greg Cochrane to discuss how language and storytelling creates progress in the climate emergency, the role of "framing" around those messages and what a "Don't Look Up" moment in music culture could look/sound like. 

Greg and Fay also round up some major climate/music headlines from while they've been away, preview what's coming up on this series of the podcast and leave you with some recommendations (more info below).
