The YIKES Podcast

Background

Format
The format typically includes discussion between Loach and Becker. After a YIKES of the week, the hosts talk to each other and to guests about climate justice and its intersection with marginalised communities. Notable episodes include Episode 7, in which Loach talks to Leah Thomas and Marie Beecham, Black climate activists, about the increase in their profiles following the #BlackLivesMatter movement. They have also spoken to Kenny Ethan Jones about trans rights and inclusivity around periods.
