Booking Overview

“Doomer Optimism” is a values-driven show that spotlights people building regenerative alternatives to the status quo—connecting constructive doers with seekers. It’s particularly attractive for PR because guests span practical makers (e.g., sustainable building, urbanism) and thoughtful futurists/ethicists, with an emphasis on concrete pathways forward rather than pure critique.
