“Humans are story creatures” says scientist and activist, Dr. Lucy Gilliam. In 2014, Lucy co-founded Exxpedition, a series of all women sailing voyages that journey the globe to uncover the truth about ocean plastics. In this episode, Lucy speaks to host Bronwyn Seier about how to use positive stories to change behaviour.
We also speak to Laura Hunter, creative director at change agency, Futerra. Laura discusses how to deliver sustainable products and brands to her clients’ audiences and tells us how Futerra is tackling climate change through optimism.
Finally, designer Richard Malone tells his story of campaigning for #Repealthe8th on Ireland’s recent abortion referendum. Richard speaks about fashion’s struggle to get political, and its elitism. We also share his open letter to Vogue.
This episode is produced by Bronwyn Seier, Amy Foster-Taylor, Claire Weiss, and Pippa Smart. Our theme music is composed by Troy Hewson. For more, go to thedrop.online.

Personally I am minimally interested in getting a watered down message but I'm an activist. I think echo chambers are important for those of us on the frontline but we don't need convincing. We need a community of seriousness with strong relationships.
