ORA PODCAST SERIES
In The Rising Tide
We’re living through an overwhelming moment of global crises — from climate change to social and mental health challenges — where it’s easy to feel powerless and alone. In this Resilience miniseries, created with the Omega Resilience Awards, we follow five individuals across the globe who are responding to these challenges with creativity, courage, and care. Their stories reveal that even in the face of the polycrisis, meaningful action is not only possible — it’s already happening.
Holding the Fire
Award-winning journalist and author Dahr Jamail hosts in-depth interviews with leaders from around the world to uncover Indigenous ways of reckoning with environmental and societal breakdown. Holding the Fire is an ORA Research Grant project produced by Post Carbon Institute and hosted by Resilience.
El territorio habla
Welcome to El territorio habla, an ORA Research Grant podcast from Mirá Socioambiental. We are ecofeminists, writers, journalists, and researchers. We listen to the territories and their inhabitants—precisely where the climate crisis, generated by the wealthiest nations, strikes and is exacerbated by the extractivist model expanding across Argentina and Latin America—and we give voice to the stories lived by these communities.
What Takes Root: Stories of Resistance and Reclamation
What Takes Root is a new first-person podcast from ORA featuring changemakers from India, Africa, and Latin America. Over nine episodes, members of the ORA community share intimate stories of reclaiming voice, power, and possibility, and in their own words.
Welcome, Wild Times Ft. Anabella Museri & Sofia Nemenmann
In this conversation, host Michael Lerner speaks with Anabella Museri and Sofia Nemenmann of the Asociación Argentina de Abogados/as Ambientalistas, exploring eco-social justice, environmental defense, and the role of law, culture, and community in building resilient futures.
Welcome Wild Times Ft. Nnimmo Bassey
In this conversation, Michael Lerner speaks with Nnimmo Bassey, director of the Health of Mother Earth Foundation, about environmental justice, extractive economies, and community-led resistance in the face of ecological crisis. Drawing from decades of activism in Nigeria and across Africa, Bassey offers a grounded, moral, and deeply human perspective on resilience—one rooted in land, culture, and collective responsibility for future generations.
Welcome Wild Times Ft. Manisha Gupta
In this conversation, Michael Lerner speaks with Manisha Gupta, founder of Start Up!, about grassroots entrepreneurship as a pathway to resilience in India. The discussion explores how locally rooted, values-driven enterprises can strengthen communities, restore dignity, and generate practical solutions in the face of social and economic disruption—offering a grounded model for resilient futures shaped from the inside out.
