Imaginary Worlds is a show about science fiction, fantasy and other genres of speculative fiction hosted by Eric Molinsky. They have covered everything from the meteoric rise of Romantasy through to the beautiful craft behind Blue Eyed Samurai.
In 2020 they did an episode about our genre featuring two of our solarpunk sisters Sarena Ulibarri and Keisha Howard. That led to solarpunk featuring prominently as one of the highlights of the past decade by Eric in a recent Tenth Anniversary double episode for the podcast.
As part of that he shared how one listener contacted him to let her know how the episode had affected her. Morag McDonald was feeling pretty hopeless about climate change and generally down in her life. Hearing about solarpunk, about ‘a future that was hopeful and possible with real people acting to make it happen’ lifted her spirits.
