Climate Change and Other Small Talk - Absolutely Nothing Of Any Meaning

Absolutely Nothing Of Any Meaning

04/22/23 • 23 min

Climate Change and Other Small Talk

A couple leave outraged reviews about products delivered by Amazon, while climate chaos swishes into their home. Their responses to their escalating crisis become increasingly absurd, topped only by the absurdity of Amazon’s tactics to thwart them.

Absolutely Nothing Of Any Meaning was written by Sunny Drake. Find the transcript here.

Climate Change and Other Small Talk is a worldwide tour for your ears - minus the carbon footprint and lost luggage. Audio dramas from 9 creative teams around the globe will entertain as well as explore our climate crisis. And maybe even what could get us out.
