Podcast Overview

Three generations hit the road to explore key seafood producing regions across the U.S. and hear from people working at the intersections of fisheries, aquaculture, seafood, and conservation while grappling with the effects of the global climate crisis. We represent three different generations, and we have a lot in common, namely, a love of seafood, the ocean, and a dedication to contribute to a community-driven intergenerational effort in movement towards climate justice. The result of these travels? Welcome to In Hot Water, a climate and seafood podcast series. Join Julie Kuchepatov (Gen X) with travel companions, Crystal Sanders-Alvarado (Xennial), and Cameron Moore (Gen Z) as they travel the country and chat with people who share the challenges facing their region and their personal stories. Along the way, they experience some moments that make them ask, "what the fish?" as they try to understand how we ended up in hot water and our personal responsibility and the actions we can all take to mitigate the climate crisis.
