Description

Welcome the Ecofictology podcast, where science meets story and we embrace the nerdiness in our fiction! This podcast is all about using fiction as a science communication tool, with a particular focus on ecofiction (fiction where the environment and our relationship with it plays a major role in the plot). I’ll be talking about what I’m reading and writing and speaking to others are doing it too! Come nerd out with your fiction with me!
