0:00.0	Hey dread listeners, we're back from a short summer break. Today we are bringing you an episode from our
0:15.5	sister podcast Spill. That is where we break down climate news, general trends,
0:22.3	talk to other writers, journalists, researchers about what they're doing, and generally keep up to date on the climate story.
0:30.0	Once a month, I bring on my former Hot Take co-host there Mary Anna E.
0:35.3	Hegler and we talk about something that is coming up in a lot of climate conversations.
0:40.6	This week we talked about Project 2025. You've probably heard of it. It's hard to avoid. We thought it was worth talking about that and climate policy in general in the lead up to this week's debate.
