Participatory designing a podcast concept

I decided to host two brainstorming sessions with the intention to design a podcast concept together. This led into the concept of ‘Brutale Klimaatvragen’ (freely translated: ‘Rude Climate Questions’). A podcast where we ask questions in a youthful way. Questions that are maybe a bit too direct to ask, but that we are still all wondering about. Each episode starts with a simple introduction into the topic or campaign, where we ask the interviewee (someone active within climate activism) to explain their work in simple words. Later we will move into the more critical questions. Like asking someone who visited a COP meeting (UN climate meeting) whether they were even listened to, or if they felt like they were just attending for show. These were the kind of questions that seemed to interest both target groups.
