Kids are inheriting a global, existential crisis for humanity, and they know it. Teenagers and preteens increasingly list climate anxiety as a top concern that regularly affects their daily lives. And yet, kids’ media has little to say about this. A 2021 survey of youth TV shows found that only 1.4% mention climate change. The topic can be frightening, and more kids are reporting feeling helpless. How can we educate them, inspire hope, and help empower them to be a part of the solution? Produced by WBUR, Doomsday Clock Rebellion (working title) is a podcast with a mission to counter news fatigue and despair about climate change. Set in a future Boston, the podcast follows three kids who set out to travel back in time and undo the crisis. The listener decides what the characters do: Politics or protest? Technology or sacrifice? Solo or collective action? Rooted in scientific reports and rigorous climate reporting, Doomsday Clock Rebellion is part of a growing genre, cli-fi, meant to reach new audiences with fiction. Its unique choose-your-own-style format is designed to remind listeners of their agency and inspire them to act.
