LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: Media Storm will be live at the London Podcast Festival this September, on Saturday 16th at 7pm! Book tickets now to join us as we breakdown the craziest headlines of 2023: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/

Around the world, El Niño is causing extreme weather events and soaring global temperatures to alarming levels.

Meanwhile in the UK, Labour is playing internal blame-games after a by-election defeat in Boris Johnson’s old seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

What do these two stories have in common?

Running through the UK’s political factionalism is a debate over London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s plan to expand ULEZ. This is a debate about climate policy, but climate is missing from its coverage.

In this episode, Media Storm hosts Mathilda and Helena discuss the week’s top headlines and the missing links between them. They are joined by climate podcast producer Thimali Kodikara to examine what the mainstream media could be doing better in its climate coverage.

The episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia). The music is by Samfire (@soundofsamfire).
