Solarpunk Futures

THE PRESENT


Our newly renamed podcast, Solarpunk Futures: Demand Utopia! launched its first episode on April 19, 2024.

Join host Justine Norton-Kertson (founder and co-editor-in-chief of Solarpunk Magazine) and occasional guests for discussions of topics related to utopianism in general, and solarpunk in particular as both a genre of literature-art that imagines a utopian future and a social movement taking practical action and steps to build a better world right here in the present.


THE PAST


Solarpunk Futures is an optimistic, utopian science fiction podcast that imagines a new world where humanity, technology, and nature coexist in harmony rather in the conflict. The podcast is produced by Android Press and Solarpunk Magazine. Hosts read stories and poems that were published in the most recent issue of Solarpunk Magazine, and discuss nonfiction articles that are relevant to the solarpunk movement aimed at solving the climate crisis and creating a sustainable future. One episode of the Solarpunk Futures podcast is released every other Tuesday.


Beginning in fall 2022, Solarpunk Presents was launched as a companion podcast to Solarpunk Futures. Hosted by non-fiction coeditors Ariel Kroon and Christina De La Rocha, Solarpunk Presents will feature interviews with activists, artists, organizers, and changemakers who are working towards realizing a solarpunk future, today. In January of 2023, Solarpunk Presents went off on its own as a separate podcast.
