Heglar hosts Hot Take with Amy Westervelt. They know that there are a lot of ways to talk about climate change, and they wants everyone—but particularly the mainstream press—to get better at it. Hot Take is a media criticism show about climate change coverage. Heglar said they consider the show a climate media watchdog. On it, her and Westervelt along with guests analyze how much climate is being covered, how well it is being covered, and what stories have fallen through the cracks. And of course, the podcast also highlights who’s doing a good job. Overall, Hot Take wants to encourage the media to be better about climate change, help writers and outlets be less intimidated about covering it, and show people in the sector that there are many different ways to write and talk about climate change.
