Very excited to introduce this show to Metra listeners -- All Around Science! All Around Science is weekly podcast by two huge science fans discussing what’s new and interesting in science. Science is our window into incredible worlds, from impossibly small atoms to impossibly distant stars. We want to use it to discover as much as possible, and share it with you every week.This is episode 220, "The Dirt Beneath Your Feet." Hosts Bobby and Maura talk about a new type of blue-green algae that had been discovered off the coast of Italy (lovingly nicknamed “Chonkus”) which gobbles up CO2 on the surface of the water, and then sinks to the bottom, acting as a (literal) carbon sink. Then, the main topic of the episode is: "What is dirt?" What is it made of? Why is it different in different places? Why does it change as you dig deeper? Is “soil” the same as “dirt”?So much of what's covered is relevant to our fight for a sustainable climate, and it's all super fascinating to deep dive into. We hope you'll enjoy All Around Science!Find it wherever you get your podcasts: https://pod.link/1530972643Our friends at Atypical Artists are fundraising for very cool new project!-and-Check out another show we love: The Harbingers, by Audacious Machine Creative.

BONUS: Metra Listener Mailbag 1 - How Did I Get Here?
Dear Listeners:We believe the time has come to clear the air on a matter of some…complexity. Are you the sort of listener who keeps an ear out for patterns? Repetition?Perhaps you’ve noticed a unique name popping up in numerous places. Perhaps you’re one of the Metra listeners who heard Episode 4 and began to have questions. You’re not alone. Today we address such a listener question — namely, how the hell is a guy named Tom Molpe joining the climate revolution in 2045, while he edits a podcast in 2025??Perhaps Tom can clear things up.

Metra is an original musical fiction podcast about how we change the world.The year is 2043. The world is hot, water is scarce, the weather is unpredictable…and the fossil fuel industry continues to thrive. The wealthy are comfortable in their air-purified, cooled, humidified, superbly hydrated Bubble cities. But in a roadside bar on the Outside, an unlikely group of revolutionaries is about to demand a new story.Starring Tony-nominee Jeannette Bayardelle and a Broadway and NYC theatre cast. Metra weaves ancient myth, transformative magic, and memorable music to tell the story of a dangerous climate future, and the fight for the world we deserve.Written and created by The Hartfords.
