Lawless Planet

About Lawless Planet

It’s not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what’s left, it starts to look like a crime scene: Decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawless Planet, host Zach Goldbaum reveals the scams, murders and cover-ups on the frontline of the climate crisis, and the life and death choices people are making to either protect our world – or destroy it.

Published 28 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I used to work in finance and now work in communications for a large tech company. My life has pretty much always been about work, my family and my friends. My day to day has just never been anything out of the ordinary. Then in June of 2020, a few months into the global pandemic that had us all in lockdown, something happened that changed my life forever. I got this Facebook message from a woman asking me if I was the daughter of Lori Malloy. I had an Aunt Allison from East Providence, Rhode Island. And I was like, sorry, but who are you?
