Many people are trying to make decisions about their futures while holding both hope and fear. In this episode of The Dilemma we’re talking about climate guilt, who should be panicking and whether you can make hope from scratch. 

Host: Gina Rushton 

Executive producer: Kara Jensen-Mackinnon

Guests: Tom Whyman, Mary Annaïse Heglar

Extra reading: Tom’s book Infinitely Full of Hope can be found here. Mary’s novel can be found here and her latest book, the one for children, can be found here. Gina, who has written a lot about hope here, would also like to recommend reading Notes from the Apocalypse by Mark O’Connell.

This episode of The Dilemma was made possible with the support of The Victorian Women’s Trust. Inspirational speeches from across history are far more likely to have been made by a man, than a woman. It’s time to change that. Madam Speaker is a new initiative by feminist advocate the Victorian Women’s Trust to collate and record important and historic speeches by women and gender diverse people from Australia and beyond.
