Some of today’s most topical issues polarise people. In Who Cares Wins with Lily Cole, Lily invites guests with different perspectives to explore critical issues - from technology, food, to mental health and capitalism - and their relationship to the environment. The podcast emerged from the research Lily did for her book ('Who Cares Wins: A Thousand How to Protect the Planet You Love: A thousand ways to solve the climate crisis: from tech-utopia to indigenous wisdom') Season One explores the topics explored in Lily's book of the same name - inviting different perspectives into each thematic episode. Season Two explores the intersections between sustainability and gender issues - exploring different perspectives across the season. Season Three looks at the connections between our inner landscapes (mindsets) and outer landscapes.
