Carol Fitzsimmons hosts the "Reframing Heritage" podcast, featuring doctoral students from the Heritage Leadership Program at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. The podcast explores difficult historical topics and aims to inspire action for a better future. The episode features four guests—Amanda Berlinsky, Delia Lister, Heather Waterman, and Pamela Blair Bruce—who share their research on climate change communication in national parks. They discuss the impact of climate change on Joshua Tree and Glacier Bay National Parks, the importance of storytelling, and the challenges of interpreting natural disasters. The conversation emphasizes the need for interpreters to address climate change openly and creatively to provoke thought and inspire action.
