"Catastrophic" is a raw collection of short stories from people all over Australia giving their first hand accounts of what it is like to live through catastrophic bushfires and face the aftermath. It is a way for people to express their fear and their grief and a call to action to all political parties to get real about taking action on Climate Change.The overwhelming majority of Australians are screaming for all politicians to get off their butts and do SOMETHING about climate change. But our climate denying government isn't listening. So Listen Up Podcasting decided to make "Catastrophic" to force them to listen. Listen Up are collecting and collating as many stories from the Aussie bushfires as possible to send to all the major political parties and push for funding and action around climate change. If you have a story (or know someone who has a story) from the bushfires that you would like to get heard by the politicians and the public, please get in touch with us via email at info@listenuppodcasting.com.au and we will arrange for your story to be included.
