]]>Zoe Cohen is best known for her involvement in some of the era defining protest movements of our times. She has been arrested multiple times under the banners of Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, Just Stop Oil and Defend Our Juries. She has been a spokesperson for all four movements. Zoe is also an executive coach, an outspoken anti-Zionist Jew, a mum, a citizen and an award-winning communicator.
In this fourth episode of the JUKEBOX podcast, Zoe and host, Morgan Phillips, discuss Zoe’s thoughts and perspectives on what the climate and environmental movement is and does, how the media interprets and presents the action that is happening, and the ups and downs of life on a planet that isn’t being well served by those in power. This interview was recorded in October 2026 shortly after the Green Party of England and Wales autumn conference and one day after the Holborn and St Pancras parliamentary by-election, which saw Green Party leader Zack Polanski finish second. The interview starts with Zoe’s reflection on that conference and the treatment Zack Polanski received from the media - as well as from within the Green Party - as the reactions from the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion being passed rippled out.

]]>Emma River-Roberts is founder and director of the Working Class Climate Alliance, a not-for-profit membership organisation which trains and advises organisations on social class and climate change. The WCCA works with academics, campaigners and civil society groups across the world to put class at the centre of their climate work.
In this second episode of the Jukebox podcast, Emma highlights the importance of making the climate movement more inclusive of working-class communities, stresses the need to challenge class inequalities and the opportunities to build collective power through community connections, and reflects on the emotional toll the climate crisis is taking on us as it unfolds.

]]>For the last four decades we have been urged, as individuals, to 'live green', to be a 'green consumer'. The theory of change we have been sold is this: if enough individuals adopt green lifestyles the planet will be 'saved'. It is a story told to us by brands, politicians, NGOs, and celebrities. Many of us will have told this story ourselves too, to friends, colleagues, family members and, if environmentalism is our profession, our audiences. But what if it isn't true? What if the focus on individual acts of environmental stewardship is a distraction from what really needs to happen. In this first episode of the Jukebox podcast, Professor Michael Maniates asks us to think again about why we choose to live green.
