How to Survive Seven Days in July in Biloxi, Mississippi
By forty teenagers from Germany and the United States who came together for one week in the summer of 2025.

ClimateCast - coasts, former industrial lands and wetlands experiencing climate change and biodiversity loss
A tour through the POCACITO ClimateCast universe, starting in the Ruhr Area, a former industrial region in the West of Germany, where former coal mines and polluted rivers are restored to provide habitat for biodiversity. We then move to the Gulf Coast in Mississippi around Biloxi and hear about impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss on the former seafood capital of the world. We end our podcast in the Munich area in Bavaria, where peatlands and wetlands are disappearing, threatening frogs and other biodiversity.
