Jonathan Safran Foer

A powerful narrative on the stark realities of climate change, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast by Jonathan Safran Foer takes a hard-hitting look at the day-to-day human contribution to the unfolding environmental catastrophe. Weaving personal stories, facts and metaphors, he also analyses what motivates some people to sacrifice short-term comfort for the sake of the long term preservation of our climate by eliminating animal-based products from their diet. In conversation with journalist Jeffrey Gettleman, he delves on the changes that each one of us can make to mitigate this crisis.

We are the Weather - Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast: Jonathan Safran Foer with Jeffrey Gettleman

Jeffrey Gettleman is the East Africa Bureau Chief for the New York Times and the author of Love, Africa: A Memoir of Romance, War, and Survival. “I’m not an adventure-seeking adrenaline junky. I like to explore new worlds, but I’m not one of these chain-smoking, hard-drinking, partying types that just wants thrills all the time. And unfortunately that’s an aspect of the job. And as I get older and I’ve been through more and more, the question gets louder. Which is: Why do you keep doing this? Because you feel like you only have so many points, and eventually the points are going to run out.”Thanks to MailChimp, V by Viacom, 2U, and Kindle for sponsoring this week's episode.@gettlemanGettleman on Longform[01:15] Gettleman’s Archive at The New York Times[01:30] Gettleman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning work[01:30] Love, Africa: A Memoir of Romance, War, and Survival (Harper • 2017)[08:30] Tampa Bay Times (Previously St. Petersburg Times)[11:30] Fan Club[12:30] The Front Row[18:00] "Into the Heart of Falluja" (New York Times Magazine • May 2004)[22:00] "The World’s Worst War" (New York Times • Dec 2012)[30:00] "Rape Epidemic Raises Trauma of Congo War" (New York Times • Oct 2007)[30:30] "Elephants Dying in Epic Frenzy as Ivory Fuels Wars and Profits" (New York Times • Sep 2012)[35:45] Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad • Dover Publications • 1990)[38:45] "Ominous Signs, Then a Cruel Attack" (New York Times • Sep 2013)[45:45] "Jeffrey Gettleman’s World of War" (Jack Shafer • Slate • Mar 2009) Learn more about your ad choices.
