Heather McLeod’s podcast Something Different This Way Comes was launched in the Spring of 2022 with one episode a week for two seasons a year, Spring and Fall. The podcast documents the conversations and learning informing Heather’s hopes for Thunder Bay’s transition through this many-faceted crisis to the peace and plenty that the healing of the errors of ways will bring. Heather is not planning on producing the podcast in 2024 in order to write a book of fiction set in Thunder Bay in 2055 when we have weathered the crisis and achieved the sustainable, inclusive and healthy future we are working towards.
These link to the episodes of the podcast in which the Northwest Climate Gathering 2023: Hope & Action was rooted (Heather build on the conversation featured in the podcast to engage that Community Activist as a leader at the Gathering), or from which they sprung (Heather met the Community Activist as a leader contributing to the Gathering and then featured a conversation with them on the podcast), and the monologue episodes in which her own conclusions are introduced & defended.
