Description
People over Plastic (PoP) was the first podcast from Counterstream Media. Launched and Hosted by Shilpi Chhotray, the show ran for five impactful seasons from 2021-2024.
PoP brought together activists, change-makers, organizers, and innovators for raw, unfiltered conversations about climate and environmental justice and was produced by a talented group of producers and creatives of color.
Though PoP is no longer running, its impact remains: the show was ranked in Spotify’s Top 10 Podcasts for Society & Culture, one of the Top 100 New Orleans Podcasts, shortlisted by the International Womens Podcasting Awards, and listened to in 58 countries.
Our new show:
"A People's Climate" hosted by Shilpi Chhotray is currently running and available wherever you get your podcasts.
