Climate change does not just impact the environment in the natural sense; it also impacts social and historical environments. Archivists, climatologists, and sociologists may enjoy Material Memory, a podcast that explores this link between climate change and cultural memory. Currently on its second season, the show focuses on climate crises and cultural heritage, exploring questions including: "How does climate change threaten our records and traditions?" and "what is the relationship between memory and disaster?" Hosted by Nicole Kang Ferraiolo, Material Memory welcomes guests with expertise from the Arctic to Africa. Readers will also find an archive of episodes from the first season (hosted by Joy Banks), which centered on "the UN-designated Year of Indigenous Languages," with six episodes covering the preservation and restoration of Indigenous languages. The podcast is a project of the Council on Library and Information Resources (an educational nonprofit) and is also available on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Podchaser, and Castbox.
